A Little Girl Walked Up to Our Compound Gate Alone—She Knew the Password

DESCRIPTION: Helen Marsh is at Platte Bend Fairgrounds when five-year-old Wren reaches the compound gate alone and says tomorrow’s password instead of tonight’s. The password leads the compound to suspect a leak, but Wren’s drawings, stones, song, and memories slowly reeal that her mother Jess had once been turned away at the same gate. When Wren finally describes the red hat man who sent them away, Helen must repeat the child’s words in front of everyone even though she realizes the man was her own son Daniel. Helen later discovers that Carla created the password sequence from a twelve-word song and taught it to Jess and Wren so the next word would prove Wren had kept counting. After Daniel returns from Ostrander, the compound changes its gate rules so someone must go outside and look closely instead of letting a password make every decision. In this episode: Wren arrives alone at the gate and slowly tells Helen what happened to her and Jess. Platte Bend Fairgrounds becomes divided over how Wren knew a password meant for the following morning. Nine nights are counted by Wren after her mother can no longer continue. Helen decides to repeat Wren’s words exactly and identify the red hat man as Daniel instead of softening what she said to protect her son.
