Summary
Analysis
One day, Constable Lund’s partner, a more self-serious and imposing officer whom Fin dubs “CSI,” returns to the door by himself. He tells Fin that he believes they’ve located Greg. Fin is thrilled, but the officer tells him and Max that he still needs to confirm that they’ve found the right man; communications are severely challenged without power and phone lines. He then pokes around the house, repeatedly checking to make sure they’re keeping their rice and foods dry. He leaves, telling them he will return soon with more news of their father.
The news that Greg has apparently been located comes as a welcome surprise. Meanwhile, CSI’s nosy investigation of their food supply has a vaguely sinister undercurrent.
