Complete story — includes the ending

On the road to Damascus, the carnival crosses paths with surviving members of the burned-down Daily Brothers Show. They suspect the former owners to have laid the fire, not knowing that Stroud instigated the crime and murdered the Dailey brothers. Felix admits his continued money problems to Rita Sue and gets into a fight with Jonesy over Libby. Lila has a strange encounter with Ruthie reminding her of Lodz. Ben and Sofie, who spent all day with each other, get intimate. After Ben drives off to pursue Stroud, the carnival heads for its next location, leaving Sofie behind. Stroud exploits the idea that "the best way to follow someone is to get ahead of them." Preparations are made for Iris's public confession, but in a mysterious twist, Dolan is deceived into a public confession for the crime, and he is arrested as the culprit. Awards: Emmy nominations for "Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series" and "Outstanding Costumes for a Series".
