Plot

Max Hansen comes back to Haven now an old man, after being released on parole. His return seems to upset quite a lot of people, chief among whom is Chief Wuornos who put him away for the murder of the Colorado kid. Wuornos subsequently adopted his son Nathan. However, Nathan has no knowledge of this ever happening and still believes the chief is his father. Audrey also discovers that she is actually Lucy, the woman in the picture of the news clipping of the Colorado Kid. Max goes to see Duke on his boat to persuade him to help him but Duke refuses and becomes apprehensive upon seeing the tattoo on Max's left arm - he has been told that someone with that tattoo is going to kill him. He tells Audrey this, and Audrey approaches Max in Duke's cafe. In the course of events there, the waitress pours hot scalding coffee on Max who does not feel a thing, commenting that "Good thing they sell cold coffee here", he leaves and says he was heading for church. While discussing with Duke, the waitress mentions that the coffee was scalding hot, yet Max did not feel a thing. Audrey makes the association that Max was probably related to Nathan. Nathan then storms to the Chief's office demanding the truth. Wuornos reluctantly tells him about Max being his father and Nathan storms out angry. Later, Max is killed by being swallowed by a crack in the ground. It is later discovered that chief Wuornos was responsible. They eventually find him on the beach and he offers to kill himself. Nathan pleads with him not to do so, but he changes into rock and then disintegrates. Audrey tries to console Nathan who angrily rebuffs her, asking why she didn't tell the chief she could help him like she normally does to other troubled people. In the last scenes of the episode it showed Nathan revealing to Audrey that he can feel her touch, Audrey says that she believes she is Lucy Ripley due to a cut on her foot and an FBI agent appears claiming to be special agent Audrey Parker and asking Audrey "Who the hell are you?"
