Kevin and Matt

Matt meets Kevin at the cabin in the woods to help pray for Pattie. Matt touches the body to pray for it and Kevin urges him not to as this is a crime scene. Kevin tells Matt that if he touches it (Patties body) that they will be in this together. Matt tells Kevin that they will be in this together. Kevin and Matt drag Pattie to the woods to bury her. Matt has Kevin read a passage from the bible. Kevin is hesitant saying that he doesn’t believe in it anymore. Matt convinces Kevin to read the passage. Kevin cries while reading it.

On the way back to town Matt takes Kevin to a mental ward. The same hospital that his father is in. Kevin and his dad exchange a few words. Kevin Sr. screams at someone and tells Kevin Jr. not to turn around. A voice behind Kevin Jr. tells him not to listen to his dad and that he should turn around. Kevin turns around and sees Pattie. Kevin can’t believe his eyes as he just buried Pattie. Kevin does not think that this is real. Pattie assures him that this is real as she straddles him and kisses him.

Matt is asking Kevin what did Patti say to him. Kevin doesn’t tell Matt. Kevin does tell Matt that he had an affair with a woman whom he didn’t know her name on the day of the event. Kevin breaks out crying again.
