So Melissa's in a super bad place rn, seeing as she's now confident that half the town has been lying to her for probably years, her little brother basically straight up told her he'll never be able to follow the law, and her older brother may have been in on this whole thing. Currently her plan is to arrest fucking everyone involved in all of this shit (on both sides, Erebus and the rustlers) and then to just say fuck it and wander off into the desert for some soul searching.

So that's fine.
