One Two Three

River tells Mab that he has some information for her and asks her if she’ll skip tutoring so that they can speak in private. She takes him to the dam, where they sit in view of the plant. The site bears signs of recent activity, and it is clear that it is undergoing preparations to reopen. River tells Mab that his father is only pretending to drink the tap water and that he has arranged for bottled water to be trucked in and placed into reservoirs in the building. Nathan wants to create the appearance that he thinks the water is safe, but he clearly knows that it is not. River promises to photograph the bottles and look for additional evidence on his father’s phone, which, unlike his laptop, is not passcode protected.

Mab returns home and excitedly shares River’s news with her sisters. Monday is unimpressed. She points out that everyone in town knows the water is not potable, and they also know that the Templeton men are notorious liars. It will shock no one that Nathan is only pretending to drink the tap water.
