Chapter 43 Summary: “Grace”

Content Warning: This section of the guide contains discussions of violence, trauma, and depictions of death.

To Grace’s surprise, Olivia is in school the next day. Grace catches hold of her in the parking lot and asks her why she has been avoiding her. Olivia tells Grace that one day she was photographing wolves as usual when she saw Jack change into a human. Since Jack was disoriented and naked, she took him home and gave him her brother’s clothes. Jack cautioned her against telling anyone about him. Olivia felt sorry for Jack and helped him for a few days by giving him food and washing his clothes, but they had a fight over his cure. Grace is stung that even though Olivia learnt Grace was right about Jack, she never apologized for dismissing Grace’s hunch. Grace tells Olivia that Isabel knows about Jack from the pictures she left around and Olivia needs to be more careful. Grace leaves, feeling uneasy about the conversation with Olivia.

Grace’s bad mood worsens when she gets a voice note from her mother saying that her parents will be staying out the night. Sam decides to give Grace a break by taking her to a candy shop in Duluth, his hometown.
