By assuring Osh that she only wants to learn about her biological family to fill in the pieces of her life story, Crow consoles him. Yet when she tells him she plans to revisit Penikese, Osh accuses Crow of wanting to go back to find the treasure and get money, which upsets Crow and Maggie makes scold Osh for being insensitive. They have a conversation about their names. Osh asks Maggie “[w]hy do you call me Daniel?” (177), and she explains that it’s because he would not say his real name when they met. With all of the upset caused by Crow learning about her past, Osh wonders if they should all begin again with new names, with Crow going as Morgan. Crow insists that everyone stay who they are, reminding Osh that while she never knew her mother and father, “[y]ou, I know” (179). Maggie, Crow, and Osh reconcile and solidify their bond, agreeing to go to back to Penikese. 

Steady rainfall keeps them from returning for days. In the meantime, Officers Kelly and Reardon reappear, wanting to discuss the highly accurate portrait that Osh drew of Mr. Kendall. When they question Osh, he says his name is Daniel Fisher.
