THE LOST FLOWERS OF ALICE HART – Episodes 4 & 5 – SPOILERS
The story jumps ahead fourteen years and a twenty-three year old Alice (Alycia Debnam-Carey) picks up the mail at the post office and finds a letter from Oggie (Ben Bennett), whom she once planned to marry. She had not heard from him in years, and he writes to tell her he is marrying someone else. It comes to light that five years ago, June (Sigourney Weaver) discovered their plans, and had Oggie, who was in the country illegally, deported. June also sent him an email in Alice’s name breaking up with him; blocked his email so he could not respond; and intercepted all the letters he sent her. After learning all this, Alice freaks out, hops in her truck, and heads for a (fictional) place called Agnes Bluff. On the way she picks up a stray dog at a truck stop and, in what might be a reference to the Dickens novel Great Expectations, names him Pip. Alice is quite angry, though she doesn’t know the half of it yet.
