Complete story — includes the ending

Weeks after the attack on the GR's houses, Kevin exhumes Patti's body at Cairo. Troubled over his role in Patti's death, he purposely speeds past a police car. When pulled over, he informs the trooper of the body in his truck. Despite being questioned, he is released after the investigating ATFEC officer learns that Kevin is Mapleton's chief of police. As Patti was in the GR, she has no interest in investigating Kevin's story about the suicide. Kevin later hallucinates a conversation with Patti. Kevin Sr. is released from the psychiatric hospital (claiming he did what the voices in his head told him to), planning to live in Australia. Similarly, Kevin decides to relocate to Jarden with his new family. Outside Jarden, people who attempted to move to Miracle but were denied entry set up a camp. Kevin's family quickly learn that the house they leased online burned down. Nora, who sold her Mapleton house to scientists researching the Departure, purchases an auctioned house in Miracle for $3 million. That night, Kevin awakens at the bottom of the drained lake with a cinder block tied to his ankle, close to where the girls' car was abandoned.
