Daisy Darker

Believing the killer is upstairs, Rose realizes she has left her gun in the library. A door connects the two rooms, and the group moves to the library. Rose locks the door but discovers the gun has disappeared.

Daisy tries to comfort Trixie, who looks traumatized and collapses. In the library, a “Wall of Achievements” celebrates the family’s successes. The wall mostly features Rose’s academic accomplishments. There is also a dark poem written by 11-year-old Daisy.

Daisy looks at the frame that contains Conor’s first cover story for a local newspaper. When his father disappeared on the night of Halloween 1988, Conor moved to Seaglass, and his cover story was an interview with Nana. Daisy notices that Conor’s article has been replaced by a letter from a laboratory confirming the results of a DNA test. The letter states that Conor is Trixie’s father.

Conor insists that Lily did not tell him he was Trixie’s father. Daisy recalls the circumstances of Mr. Kennedy’s disappearance. His car was discovered on a cliff top the day after Halloween. A note on the dashboard stated that his heart was broken by his wife’s death and the loss of his son to the Darker family. There was a funeral, but his body was never found.
