Chapter Summaries & Analyses
In the morning, Rose wakes up Amanda because the TV is not working. Amanda tells Rose that she will be up in a minute, then looks at her phone to find more updates about the blackout, a hurricane, and a final breaking news update followed by random letters, indicating a glitch. She wakes Clay to show him, but the notifications are gone, and she can’t access them again. They debate whether there’s something wrong with cell service or if it’s just their remote location.
The two get up and Amanda starts making coffee while telling Rose that G. H. and Ruth had car trouble last night, thinking that a lie is better than scaring her daughter. Rose is more concerned with the TV, and she asks Clay to fix it. When he tells her that the problem isn’t something he can fix, she storms out into the backyard, where a group of hundreds of deer moving through the woods beyond the yard startles her.
