West tells his listeners that Claire left when Sadie was 16 and Mattie was ten, having completely succumbed to her addiction.

He interviews Marty McKinnon, Sadie’s former boss. When Claire left, Sadie became sick with worry that Colorado Protective Services (CPS) would take Mattie away, so Marty took her to the hospital.

May Beth says that Mattie was devastated when Claire left. She only recovered when a postcard sent by Claire from Los Angeles arrived. Mattie blamed Sadie for not going to look for Claire, and she began to behave badly, making their relationship suffer.

According to West, it appears that Mattie intended to search for her mother. May Beth says that Mattie would never have gotten into a stranger’s truck if not for the postcard.

As Sadie holds her switchblade to Caddy’s throat, he gives her the name Marlee Singer as someone who can tell her about “Darren Marshall.”

Sadie finds Marlee and tells her she is looking for Darren, whom she claims is her father. When Marlee goes to pick up her crying baby, it reminds Sadie of Mattie as a baby.

Marlee says Darren hasn’t been around in years and that his name is not really Darren, nor is it Keith.
