Ted Butson's missing

Good ol' Ted. Cap'n of the football team is missing. He was at the Krebs Hollow party with a mass of other seniors the last we see. Clint and Kenny freaked the girls out with Kenny's electronic deer caller and the girls won't be happy until the guys check it out. The guys assured them it was just a deer. Maybe it was the alchohol, but the girls are worried and the guys agree to go check it out. However, they travel in a different direction than where Clint and Kenny are sitting.

It's only been two days--Pinky says he saw Ted's car parked just outside Krebs Hollow and the assumption is that he's just out with a girl or something. Just doing what comes naturally.

The rumors about Pinky and Pearl have become heated, but it's difficult for the women to work up the nerve to talk to Pearl about it. In fact, it makes Pearl tougher to be around. Pearl is, after all, Queen of the Busy Bodies. It's like trying to pull a Jedi Mind Trick on Yoda. But what's also revealed in what I like to call the 'Lion's Den' Chapter, is that Pearl is an incredibly intimidating woman. Helen innocently thought she could shoot the shit with Pearl and come away with another 'scoop' on the Pinky & Pearl Affair. Instead, Pearl starts asking her questions. Like asking if Helen's estranged daughter will be coming home for Christmas this year. And Helen can't wait to get out of there before Pearl eats her alive.

Emery pulls a 'Log Lady' and gives Luke a message. "It's here. And you're the one to stop it."--Which I think I may change when I can thing of something more poetic and after I've determined the nature of this killer. Part of me is playing with the idea of making this a little supernatural. We'll just play it as it goes. After all, that's what revision is for, right?

So I've got my writing mug. I've got my music. I just have to pick an angle and take off. There's Carol's son, Cameron. Did he get his parole? Is he coming home? Sure. It'll fuck with the Dillard's family dynamics and make an interesting addition to the conflict.

Then What?
We'll see when we get there. Let the writing take you wherever.
