This is when her healing starts.
Melody finally owns up to what she has become and decides to face her demons in the cold brick wall of the Maine State Prison.
Hurting others along the way doesn\'t matter to her whatsoever because she was sick with addiction, then finally one day something changes the course of her life path, that is when she gets charged with trafficking drugs that causes her friend to overdose.
It is hustling her way to what she needs to fuel her substance use.
Running becomes a behavior she cannot contain; dysfunctional behavior becomes her way of life; with the combination of her addiction issues it is the exact combination for a perfect storm.
