...so while she's casting around for something to say, we might as well head back to the present, where Claire is asking why Angela didn't tell her kids about her sister. Angela changes the subject by asking where Bennet went, and Claire confesses she asked him to go away so she could spend some time alone with her grandmother, because she wants to help her. Angela's touched in spite of herself, and recalls that she was almost Claire's age when she came to Coyote Sands, but she was hopelessly naïve and now wishes she'd had half her granddaughter's strength. "If I had had your spirit, if I had trusted myself, maybe things would have been different here." Claire brings things back around to Angela's sister, and Angela asks if she's ever done something "so awful you think if you ever talk about it you might never stop crying?" Claire looks worried, as well she might, because if Angela thinks whatever she did to her sister is a standout among her misdeeds, it's got to be a whopper of a doozy. As if to agree, a storm suddenly and viciously kicks up outside, and Angela says this is what happened in her dream, and it must be Alice, even though she just said it didn't make any sense to think she might be alive. She runs outside, with Claire in pursuit, calling her sister's name as a maelstrom of dust swirls around them. I would have chosen a blizzard myself, just for the irony, but this is a decent enough place to go to commercial.
