Echo Valley

Kate seeks financial help from her ex-husband Richard to keep Echo Valley afloat. He provides $9,000 to replace the roof but scolds her for using funds to aid Claire. The moment underscores Kate's precarious finances and Claire's ongoing struggles with addiction.

Claire comes back to Echo Valley and reunites briefly with her mother. An argument erupts with her boyfriend Ryan, and Claire leaves with him to go camping for a few days. The tension foreshadows the fragility of the family.

Several nights later, Claire returns in a bloodied shirt and confesses that she killed Ryan during an argument. Kate discovers a corpse wrapped in a sheet in Claire's car. Desperate to protect Claire, Kate drives the body to a nearby lake and weighs it down with a cinder block, then returns home and pretends everything is resolved.

After Kate pays Jackie, Claire disappears again from the farm. When Kate searches, she finds Claire with Ryan, and a confrontation ensues as Ryan pushes Kate to the ground before he and Claire flee in his car. The incident deepens the sense of danger surrounding the family.

Kate seeks emotional support from her friend Leslie after the tumultuous events. The conversation underscores Kate's isolation and the pressure she faces. It also sets up later plans and decisions.

Jackie arrives at the farm to threaten Kate over the disposal of the body. He learns the remains are tied to Greg Kaminski, a local addict, and Claire begins manipulating Kate to dispose of the remains herself. The plot thickens as Kate's actions become more morally compromised.

Jackie administers a drug to Kate via a hypodermic needle, rendering her more susceptible to manipulation. The assault deepens Kate's vulnerability and cements the danger in her environment.

With the evidence mounting, Kate hatches a plan to burn down the barn to collect insurance money. Jackie, in a show of keeping distance, stays in the apartment above the barn posing as a farmhand to observe.

Late one night, Kate uses a road flare to ignite the barn, causing a devastating fire. Jackie watches before fleeing in his car, leaving Kate to face the aftermath.

The following morning, police discover charred remains in the rubble and question Kate. She suggests the remains may be Greg Kaminski, attempting to cast suspicion elsewhere. Jackie denies knowing Kate's role.

It is revealed that Kate, with Leslie's help, retrieved Greg Kaminski's body from the lake and placed it in the barn's apartment after the fire. The plan was to frame Jackie for the death and the arson.

Police clear Kate of suspicion while Jackie is charged for the death and the arson. The farm returns to operations as Kate tries to move forward.

Kate hires a crew to bulldoze and remove the burnt rubble from the barn, signaling a potential new beginning for Echo Valley. The farm's future remains uncertain, but the immediate danger has passed.

Late one night, Kate is awakened by her dog barking and finds Claire crying outside on the front porch, staring at her through the front door window. The scene ends with an unresolved note about whether Kate will open the door and confront her daughter.
