Trying to think of a way to smooth things over with Dean’s parents after the break-in, Tracy suggests to Mama that they invite the Evans family and Steve over for dinner. Mama agrees and sends Tracy to the grocery store. At the store, Tracy sees Mr. Herron, Angela’s father, who says he hopes the police find Jamal and that “he rots in prison” (253) as he left Angela. Embarrassed, Tracy rushes through the checkout line, but bumps into another customer who won’t let her pass and stares her down. Tracy realizes that it is the man from Liberty Heritage for a New America who was also with Chris at the police station. Tracy rushes outside and watches the man walk into an office building down the street. Peering inside his SUV, she sees recruitment flyers for Liberty Heritage for America. She looks up the organization’s staff directory and discovers that the man is Richard Brighton, Sheriff Brighton’s brother.
Things go well at dinner until Mrs. Evans accuses Steve of bringing trouble to their business with his work on the case. Mrs. Evans questions the validity of pursuing a new trial for Daddy and suggests that their antique business will suffer if it appears that they are supporting Jamal and the Beaumonts.
