Complete story — includes the ending
After giving up Lily, Tom reunited with Laurie. The pair now travel across the country deprograming GR members. Laurie, having resumed her role as therapist, runs a support group for former GR members. Tom infiltrates GR factions to identify disillusioned members and help them escape into Laurie's support group. Laurie has been suppressing many of her feelings about abandoning her family and joining the GR, and intentionally hits two GR members with her car when she sees them staking out a house. She also becomes consumed with writing a book about her experiences in the GR which she hopes will decimate that organisation. A woman in her support group kills herself and her family. Distraught, Laurie attacks a publisher after he suggests making sentimental edits to her book. While attempting to help someone join the support group, Tom is beaten, raped, and nearly lit on fire by Meg. He later questions Laurie's motive for involving him in her anti-GR efforts. Realizing the people they recruit need something to fill the void that the GR filled, Tom tells a false story to the support group about how Holy Wayne approached him before he died and transferred his powers onto him.
