Of Puppies and Monsters casts suspicions on Adams father, John, early on.
Hes visibly agitated, more so when his daughter, Willa, comes out of the shadows.
Daddy, did you do it?

There are so manyits she could be referring to, though.
This particular task turns out to have been the knockout punch to Hank to follow Willas near-perfect set-up.
Willa didnt find Adams ship-in-the-bottle in their neighbors underwear drawer; she placed it there.
Good thing no one cared.)
John anonymously called the police to the suspects house from a payphone.
John has dirt on Willa, too.
Will he ever be desperate enough to threaten her with it?
Detective Meyer is much less desperate than I expected to find her this week.
If they dont catch Adams kidnapper, then there wont evenbeanother trial.
Clements is a low-maintenance and truthful partner.
Meyer has learned not to give too much away at first, but shes obviously comfortable working with him.
But she refuses to retreat; her humiliation and guilt are nothing compared to what Adam went through.
The scene where she confronts John about the call is searing; at least she can blame her inexperience.
He has no such excuse.
The rift that led to Meyer and Johns affair rears its ugly head in this episode, too.
Ten years earlier, Meyer and another uniformed cop interview the Warrens again after Adams disappearance.
In this conversation, Johns missing hour is the main topic.
The questions continue when the officers leave and the Warrens think that their remaining children arent awake and listening.
Claire wants a solid answer from her husband so that her mind can stop whispering the worst.
A tragedy like this shreds unassailable trust, much to Johns dismay.
NEXT: Micromanagement
Not that the public needs to know about that.
Willa has powered through in her mission to get her mother elected governor.
The next step is to present a picture-perfect American family to the press.
(Dont overreach, just drink to maintain.)
Claires protectiveness is running at an all-time high.
Shes still sharing Adams closet with him at night and takes his repetitive sleep talking to be post-traumatic nightmares.
Her son insists that hes strong enough to go to the woods.
Later, a touching moment becomes something else once hes back in his underground home.
(Claire wouldnt have let him be alone there, even for a few minutes.)
(Im sorry I spent all those years taking showers and reading magazines.)
Her anger and guilt over what happened to Adam had fueled her career until this point.
A thing like this, it changes you, she admits.
The Warrens are not put back together, and shes not certain they ever will be.
The breakdown goes viral after the candidate segues into a platform.
Shes the right person for this job because of the horror shes still living.
Its the kind of crime that endorses a whatever-it-takes policy to prevent it.
Microchipping sex offenders like Hank.

Earlier in the episode, Brideys messiness nearly burned one important bridge.
(A clean house is a misspent life.
Unless youre lying to someone youre sleeping with.)
She has the resources to confirm his suspicions.
Lets start with those dental records and why Claire needed to see them.
In summary, everyone is sweating, except the Pock-Marked Man.
It raises the obvious question: If hes so good at this, how did Adam escape?
