A confused girl, Bunny, runs to a man and repeatedly calls him "Dad," saying her mother showed his photos to prove she wasn't the killer. Bystanders and the man insist she's mistaken. Mr. Wooten explains Bunny was born in prison; her mother died and she calls everyone "mom" — she has no link to Ms. Arnold. The man declares, "This is no chance encounter — I want to adopt her." They take Bunny inside; she clings, insists "He's my dad," and her grief leaves the adoption and her loyalties unresolved.
