Complete story — includes the ending
While wearing a ballistic vest, Nora instructs an escort to shoot her. After discovering that her departed husband was having an affair, she decides to file for divorce. At the courthouse, she encounters Kevin, who is also filing for divorce. Nora, working for the Department of the Sudden Departure (DSD) as a fraud investigator, attends a Departure-related conference in New York City. There, her lanyard is stolen by a woman who is impersonating her. She wanders the hotel, finds a party, becomes intoxicated and makes out with the lifelike Departure replica doll of a salesman who had made advances toward her. Nora encounters Patrick Johansen, a man who lost four members of his family in the Departure and wrote a bestselling book explaining how he moved on. Nora accuses Johansen of being a fraud, claiming that anyone who really lost their entire family would know that moving on is impossible. An associate of Holy Wayne (who is hiding in New York) overhears Nora and invites her to meet Wayne, who explains her obsession with pain and then hugs her, seemingly purging her anxieties. When Nora returns to Mapleton, Kevin asks her out on a date. She happily agrees.
