A light snow is falling as Sami lifts Sydney from her car seat and hands her to Rafe. A short distance away she sees Bo hurrying past. She calls to him, but he keeps going.
Rafe: Bo seems to be in a hurry.
Sami: He looked upset. I wonder what happened.
Rafe: Oh, probably just cop-business. It goes with the territory.
Sami: (kneeling by Sydney who is strapped into a little old-fashioned baby sled) You ready for your sleighride, Sweetie?
(She turns to Rafe) This is probably the last time we'll see snow this season.
Rafe: Then let's take that walk and enjoy it.
They head off toward the dock.
Sami: What's that in the water?
Rafe: Just some unmelted ice.
Sami: NO. Over there. Something red.
Rafe peers out across the water.
Rafe: It's a body! (He jumps into the icy water against Sami's protests)
Daniel is out for his daily jog. He sees Sami and runs toward her.
Daniel: What's going on?
Sami: There's a body in the river. Rafe just swam out to it.
Daniel and Sami watch anxiously as Rafe begins to swim back to the dock, body in tow. As Rafe and Daniel pull the limp body from the water, Sami tries to reach Bo. His phone goes to voicemail. She calls her father.
Daniel and Rafe now have the body on the dock. They turn it over to discover it is Carly Manning. Daniel tries desperately to revive her, to no avail. Rafe is beside himself. This is the woman who saved his life when he was tossed into the river.
Roman arrives with the EMTs. They hustle off to the hospital.
University Hospital:
Roman: There's nothing more we can do here. I do need you to come to the station with me for questioning. Sami & Rafe, too.
Daniel: No problem. Sami is in the ER with Rafe. They're checking him out. That was some cold water he swam through.
I'll go by the ER and as soon as Rafe is released we'll join you at the station.
Roman: Did anyone call Bo?
Daniel: Sami tried. He's not answering.
Roman: I'll find him. You check on them.
Bo is sitting at a table in the Cheating Heart. As Roman enters the bar, Bo is downing a shot and calling for another.
Roman: Whoa, Bro! What are you doing?
Bo: Drowning my sorrows. Join me?
Bo: Barkeep! Double that order!
Roman: Slow down, man. Talk to me.
Bo: Carly & I had a fight. She's leaving Salem.
Roman: Carly's not going anywhere. Rafe and Daniel just fished her out of the Salem River. It was too late. She's dead.
Bo's eyes fly open in horror as he hurls his beer mug across the room, smashing it.
Roman grabs him and embraces him. Bo breaks down in tears.
The scene fades out as the brothers embrace.
