Joe's former sister-in-law and Peyton's legal guardian, Karen Kelly, arrives to take her home. Joe discovers that Sara was killed in a traffic accident six months earlier, and that Peyton sneaked away on her own. After Peyton overhears Stella explaining that she would be a huge distraction to Joe, Karen and Peyton return home. Later, while going through Peyton's bag under her bed, Joe finds some photos and reads a letter from Sara, saying that she hid Peyton away from Joe, as his career was just starting and she didn’t want Peyton to be a distraction to him.
