Winona visits Dallas in prison, but before she can even explain the reason for her visit, Dallas walks away from the conversation. Noah journals his hurt and disappointment at this outcome. However, Winona is unable to stop thinking about Dallas and the case. She continues to visit the prison once a week, though Dallas never comes out to meet her. Finally, she writes him a note explaining she will visit one last time. The next time she goes to the prison, she discovers Dallas has requested a private meeting with her as a lawyer.

Winona reveals the reason for her visit, and when Dallas seems unsurprised that Myrtle saw someone else, Winona finally realizes he was innocent all along. He admits that he divorced Vivi Ann not because of guilt but because he knew holding on to him was destroying her. Winona reveals that Vivi Ann has not moved on. She convinces Dallas to do the DNA test, which will give him a chance at a retrial. Dallas agrees when he sees that Winona has accepted her past mistakes and wants to atone for the hurt she caused Vivi Ann.
