Police officers led by the sheriff search for Rowan's body in the woods at the beginning of Wednesday season 1 episode 2. Sadly, they are unable to locate it. The sheriff believes it was a Nevermore student and does not accept Wednesday's claim that a monster attacked Rowan. Rowan fled away, according to the principal, who is upset by the sheriff's charges. The Principal wishes the sheriff would leave after hearing Wednesday's account, but Wednesday requests a private meeting.

In the end, the principal consents to their private conversation with the condition that nothing Wednesday says will be recorded. Wednesday informs the sheriff that she believes a cover-up of Rowan's killing is being attempted. They are having a talk when an officer enters and opens the door, letting Rowan enter. Look, he's still alive! To everyone's surprise, especially Wednesday, something happens.

The therapist wants to know why Wednesday lied about seeing a murderer during their appointment. Nobody believes Wednesday, even though she is certain she witnessed Rowan being slaughtered by a thing. Wednesday resists opening up or losing the battle, despite the therapist's best efforts. She runs into Tyler after her session, who is startled to find that she is legally obligated to attend therapy. Before he gets a message and departs, Tyler declares that she believes what she claims to have seen in the wood.
