Travis and Saffron tell Tammy to stay behind while they head to Jay's trailer home in Kestrel. Travis speculates that each time Jay falls asleep and relives a brutal moment in his childhood in one of the houses that he lived in, his subconscious creates the two fiery figures before they explode. Travis fears that since Jay has burned down every home he ever lived in with his dad, the only thing left is to incinerate himself. They reach Jay's trailer home but Travis notices Nichols car coming up the road. Saffron agrees to talk down Jay while Travis deals with Nichols and his posse. Travis can hear Nichols saying that he handcuffed Reverend Hutto to a toilet and he intends to take Jay to the Springs so no one will disturb his posse as they exact their justice.
