During the remaining time before the Trevors leave for North Carolina, Charlotte throws herself into training with a vengeance. She feels the weight of the responsibility she carries for their welfare. Even the normally hard-charging Janice wants her to ease up. As a reward for her dedication, Janice requisitions a taser for Charlotte but makes her promise that she’ll use it only in a dire emergency.

When the family packs up for their new home, Charlotte rides with Harriet, while Jonathan and Jackson travel in the moving truck. Jackson remains surly and withdrawn through the entire trip. Harriet has dyed her hair blond, but the resemblance to Charlotte is still pronounced. As they drive, Harriet and Charlotte get better acquainted. Harriet talks about her emerald engagement ring, which she can no longer wear. It’s hidden away, and she now sports an imitation diamond that’s really a rhinestone. Charlotte and Harriet stop at a gas station to use the restroom. In the store, Charlotte watches a news story on the television about a mob-style execution of more of the Cercatore family’s enemies.
