When Shannon is released from the hospital, Evie invites her to stay at the country home Evie’s parents bought her. Immediately, Evie leaves for a modeling job in Cancun. In Evie’s closet, Shannon finds most of her own clothing. While Shannon is sleeping that night, she hears someone break into the house.
Shannon goes to her parents’ home the Christmas before her accident. They agreed that instead of buying expensive presents, they would only exchange stockings. In Shannon’s stocking, she finds her parents have provided her with a large number of condoms in a misguided attempt to protect her from the sexually transmitted infection they believe led to Shane’s death. They also take the opportunity to educate her awkwardly on sexually transmitted diseases. Shannon notices her parents have a stocking for Shane and inside is a membership to PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) in Shannon’s name.
When Shannon hears someone break into Evie’s house, she takes the rifle from under Evie’s bed and searches the house, discovering her former fiancé, Manus, skulking through the house with a knife. When she confronts him, he confesses that Evie was the one who shot Shannon because Evie and Manus were having an affair.
