Line 19:
Upon returning to Carthage, Daria and Jane are shocked to discover that the man with the woman & children is [[Trent]], who brings news that [[Helen]] and [[Jake]] went to search for [[Quinn]] after news of the Washington explosion... Distraught over the belief that her family has possibly perished, Daria leans on Jane and Martin for emotional support. She also becomes romantically involved with Martin, much to Mrs. Peters' chagrin; Mrs. Peters has a strong belief that Martin has a 'calling' to the church as a preacher, and that Daria's involvement will derail that in some fashion. She also has a heated arguement in front of several members of the church, where she demands personal information about his relationship with Daria. During their altercation, Mrs. Peters reveals that she and her husband had to marry because she became pregnant with Martin; this revelation doesn't sit well with Martin.
Supplies, brought in by a joint convoy of U.S. Army personnel and West Virginia law enforcement under the command of a Major Miller, bring up the spirits of the persons at Carthage. Daria and Jane speak with a West Virginia State Police officer and a Jewish chaplain on several matters including the disposition of [[Larry Carter]]'s diary and on staying in the immediate area for possible word of any survivors. Jane tells Daria that Trent will be leaving soon, but she's staying at Carthage with her until the fate of the Family Morgendorffer is known
A later convoy, made of U.S. Marines, arrives at [[Carthage]] to seemingly help restore order to the area. Those Marines are commanded by Colonel [[Kyle Armalin]] and they bring a passenger along with them: [[Helen Morgendorffer]].
