An early flashback scene to start this episode reveals a terrible secret. The adult Molly Strand (Melanie Lynskey) relives the experience of pulling the plug on Pastor Deaver's (Adam Rothenberg) ventilator twenty-seven years earlier, after he'd been found injured at the bottom of a cliff. Virtually all of Castle Rock believes that the pastor's adopted son Henry (André Holland) murdered his own father, so this revelation should have bearing on future episodes. Additionally, Molly reveals a present-day secret to Henry Deaver (André Holland) when she confides that she has the ability to hear what others are thinking and feeling. This uncontrollable trait later interferes when Molly attempts to do a television interview touting Castle Rock being prime for a major redevelopment project. Meanwhile, Henry, now an attorney representing death row inmates, takes on both Molly and 'The Kid' (Bill Skarsgård) as clients. Warden Porter (Ann Cusack) makes a financial offer to Henry on behalf of 'The Kid' to release him from prison without fanfare, a result of Molly going off script during her interview to mention how The Kid is being held without charge and in violation of his rights. Molly's home is ransacked during her absence, and while examining the damage, she has a vision of The Pastor delivering an ominous message - "Behold, I will tell you a mystery".
Oh yeah, one more unusual power that Molly has - presumably makeup was used to hide the black eye she received in prison following her arrest making a drug buy, but after her TV interview, the black eye was completely gone!
