The Lewiston sheriff finds Sal inspecting the site of the bus accident a few miles outside of Lewiston, Idaho. When he learns that Sal’s Momma died in the accident, the sheriff takes Sal to visit Momma’s grave and talks to her about Margaret Cadaver—though he also lectures her for driving alone at age 13. He takes Sal back to Gramps in Coeur D’Alene, and he offers to help Gramps make arrangements for Gram, who has just died.
