In this special compilation episode of Absentia, investigator Evie Ross sits down with people connected to the five individuals drawn back to Ashwood. Former classmates, old friends, rivals, and acquaintances offer their perspectives on Harry, Dawn, Oz, Lance, and Bex. Some remember loyalty. Some remember trouble. Some remember things they'd rather forget. A former dealership owner recalls the jealousy and heartbreak surrounding Dawn McBride's closest friendship. A bartender reflects on Oz Hannigan's reputation and the ghosts he never quite left behind. A garage owner shares his thoughts on Harry Glassman. Other interviews reveal fragments of Lance McClane's past and the complicated relationship between Bex Lexington and those closest to her. Taken together, the interviews paint a picture of five ordinary people whose lives may have been connected long before they realized it. Or perhaps that's only what the story wants them to believe. Listener Note: This episode contains supplemental character material intended to expand on events and relationships referenced in the main campaign. While not required listening, it provides additional context for the people at the center of the Ashwood mystery. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

It can. While Oz, Bex, and Lance try to reconnect over drinks, old dynamics start resurfacing almost immediately. Time may have passed, but Ashwood has a habit of preserving unfinished business. Especially between people who never really figured out what they were to each other in the first place. Meanwhile, Harry and Dawn make a late stop at Chuck’s garage to grab supplies—and end up getting something else entirely. Beneath the rambling, the smoke, and the half-broken machinery, Chuck quietly lets slip a truth about Ashwood that reframes the town in a way neither of them is prepared for. Because people leave Ashwood all the time. According to Chuck… that doesn’t necessarily mean they escape it. Also in this episode: James steps in for Art as Oz.

Audibly nervous and increasingly agitated, Dawn struggles to give direct answers as the detective presses her on Amy’s final days, her state of mind, and whether she had planned to meet anyone near the Fen. To the police, Dawn sounds evasive. To the listener, she sounds terrified. What remains unsaid is the thing that has haunted Dawn for decades: Amy asked her to come with her into the Fen that night. Dawn said no. Amy went alone. And whatever came back from that night was not an answer. It was a wound.

Part 2 of the Cuckoo’s Nest meetup picks up after Amy Caldwell’s will reading, with old friendships already starting to fray under the weight of memory, suspicion, and too many unanswered questions. The drinks are cheap, the ashtrays are full, and everyone’s pretending this is still just a bunch of former friends catching up in a dying hometown bar. Then Traci Lathrop-Matthews walks in. Former queen bee. Still perfectly composed. Still somehow knowing everybody’s business before they do. Her arrival shifts the entire room, especially with Tina Geroski already circling the group like a shark with a cigarette and a grudge. The two old frenemies waste no time digging at each other while quietly steering suspicion back toward the people who left Ashwood behind. Meanwhile, strange old photographs and forgotten fragments continue surfacing—little pieces of the past that don’t fit together cleanly anymore. The more the group looks, the less trustworthy their memories start to feel. And around them, the town keeps pressing closer. Chuck is acting unusually rigid, like he’s trying too hard to stay grounded. Matt Russell watches everything from behind the bar with the nervous energy of a man who knows more than he should. Because in Ashwood, nobody really moves on. They just learn how to talk around the things that still live here.
