If Faye went down, she could not be dragged with her.

And that meant severing whatever sisterhood escaped through that fence with them.

Margo hurried to gather the few things she had to her name.

Then, Faye interrupted her.

There was some clever logic behind this lie.

Not bad for a split-second story.

And Faye didn't question it.

As far as she was concerned, Margo was heading west towards sunshine and a fresh start.

But really, she was headed down the road to spend the night holed up in a men's boarding house.

Another escape pulled off cleanly, hidden in plain sight.

Upstairs, the room was small and dim.

The walls felt close.

Margo knew she could only stay there long enough to secure a way out.

And that night, the cost of the next step revealed itself.

Margo had split from Baltimore just in the nick of time.

Faye was not so lucky.

When Fay and Margo broke free, the state of Tennessee asked the FBI to take the lead, and the file landed on a desk in Nashville.

New to the bureau, new to the office, Richard Knudsen got assigned the case.

You know him from the last episode.

His job was to bring the girls back from the lam and in front of prosecutors.
