: A truncated version of "The Accident," the title of the specific episode. Narrative Context
The accident could have been worse. The beach could have taken more. Instead, it gave us a scar — on Mom’s forehead and inside our memories — that we will carry forever. And every time we return to the ocean, Brianna and I will know: when the water rises, when the unexpected strikes, there is no debate. Mom comes first. Not because we demand it. But because she already did.
