Enzo expresses his love of walking in Seattle rain and taking in the smells. Denny starts to walk them down unfamiliar paths and longer than average distances, until they finally arrive at the site of Eve’s funeral. Maxwell enlists a couple of toughs to confront Denny and keep him from the ceremony. Denny watches it all from a distance.

Enzo feels exhausted after the long walk. He’s been hiding the pain of arthritis and hip dysplasia. He distrusts doctors, and recalls an occasion at the Spangle farm when a doctor clipped off part of his right claw without anesthetic. He thinks of Eve and her approach to medicine and mortality. 

Denny’s restraining order keeps him separated from Zoe for months. They exchange letters via their lawyers. He makes excuses to Zoe that his absence is due to touring the European racing circuit. Only Enzo gets to visit Maxwell and Trish’s to see Zoe.
