Danielle's boyfriend Justin contacts his parents, former cops Cody and Jenny Hoyt. Cody, a private detective, reluctantly asks his ex-wife Jenny to assist even though she and his business partner Cassie Dewell despise each other. He also contacts Rick Legarski, a state patrolman who informs him that several other young women have disappeared along the same stretch of highway over the past few years. Danielle and Grace attempt to escape, but Ronald overpowers them and locks them, along with Jerrie, in an old shipping container in a remote location. The next morning Cody meets up with Rick to begin the investigation and during their talk, Cody suggests that a long-haul trucker might be behind the disappearances.

| Cody has gone missing. Rick scolds Ronald for kidnapping Danielle and Grace, as they have families and friends who will look for them (unlike the prostitutes they've been taking). After talking with Rick, Cassie deduces he may be a sociopath who could be involved in the girls' and Cody's disappearances. Grace learns that Jerrie is transgender. The girls decide that Ronald might be a perverted "religious fanatic", and try to manipulate him by singing gospel songs. Ronald appears emotionally moved by their songs and troubled over what he may eventually have to do. Rick orders Ronald to prepare Jerrie for the handoff to the trafficking ring, while still undecided about the other two girls. Ronald takes Jerrie to shower and change. She removes a wig and insists Ronald look at her naked, forcing him to see why the trafficking ring would not want her. Ronald takes her back to the container and tells Rick.

Denise tells Cassie and later Jenny about a girl who was found at the bottom of the same cliff 20 years ago, and says there have been other similar disappearances.

Sunny agrees to let some patrons look for them, including Beau's daughter and her stepfather. The daughter sees the male half of the lost couple washing off blood in a river, then retreats. | |||||||

Accolades
Controversy
After the pilot aired, members of the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council, Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, Global Indigenous Council, Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Association, and the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), among others, addressed a letter to ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke and series creator David E. Kelley, accusing the show of "at best, cultural insensitivity, and at worst, appropriation" due to being set in area with a disproportionately high rate of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women & Girls (MMIWG), yet not having any tribal representation in the show."[149][150][151][152]
