After a man who abandoned Jessica six years ago unexpectedly returns and saves her, she confronts him about leaving. He replies, "I don't have long to live," and urges her not to waste time. Onlookers mock him, heightening the pressure. Flashbacks to the pocket watch he gave, a Lynch family token and promise, force her to demand answers. She demands he say he still loves her and admit he left for a reason. He begins a three-count; the episode cuts as he reaches 'one' without answering, leaving the moment unresolved.
