You can use what you just found out from the police officer in your next conversation with Nathan. Select the cop information dialogue option while talking to Nathan. The man will reveal a secret about Frank, the Blood Oath.

Once the chat with Nathan is over, try to talk to Frank. First, use the information Frank gave you about the Blood Oath and when Frank reveals his secret, select the "Rachel's Photo" option. At this point Frank will empty his pockets along with the keys that you will have to collect immediately and then rewind time. Once all this is done, the keys will be in your possession and Frank will not suspect anything.

Leave the diner and return to Chloe at the RV, then select the "RV Keys" option. Once you open the door you will be attacked by a dog and you will have to throw a bone to attract its distant attention. For this action you will be offered two choices:

Throwing the bone on the road.

Throwing the bone in the parking lot.

Regardless of which one you choose, once the dog is away, enter the camper to look for some evidence.

To find the proof you need, go to Frank's bedroom and check the ventilation system, you will need a tool to open it. You will find a knife on the kitchen worktop, this will prove perfect for your purposes.

Once the ventilation system is open, pick up the notebook inside to uncover some remarkably interesting facts about Frank and Amber. Tell Chloe everything you have discovered.

Once you have finished the conversation with the girl and examined the photo, you will find out something really interesting about this and you will have to focus on it. To do this, use the two buttons shown on the screen, first arrange the photo with the "A" and "D" buttons, then the left and right mouse buttons to maximize the focus of the photo (clearly the buttons refer to the version for pc, for the other versions follow the keys indicated on the screen).

You will wake up as an XNUMX-year-old Max and be able to change the events that led to the death of Chloe's father. To do this, take the keys that are on the table next to the TV and pull them out the window. Enjoy the ending of the game during which you will discover that Chloe's father did not suffer the accident, but your friend suffered it for him.

Consequences of plot choices

First choice

The first important choice will take place in the first chapter of the episode. You will have to decide whether or not to steal the principal's money.

Leaving the money will not help Chloe pay her debt to Frank. However, it will not be difficult to convince the girl not to commit the theft since the risk of being discovered by the headmaster will be too high.

By stealing the principal's money, you are helping Chloe pay off the debt. Your friend's initial euphoria will soon be replaced by fear of being discovered in the next few episodes.

This choice will not have a real effect on the current episode and will only change some dialogue options with Chloe. Clearly the wisest choice seems to be not to steal the money, as you may have trouble with the law later on.

Second choice

The second important choice is whether or not to kiss Chloe.

By kissing Chloe you will prove to her that you are much more fearless than she herself thought.

Not kissing Chloe won't change anything.

Regardless of your choice, subsequent events will not change.

Third choice

The third choice will take place during the discussion between Chloe and David, in fact you will have to take sides on one of the two sides.

By siding with David and defending him from Chloe's attacks, you will make your friend very angry.

Siding with Chloe, you will openly attack David and reveal his secret to Joyce who will throw the man out of the house.

Regardless of your choice, future events will not change, the only difference will be some dialogue options with Chloe.

Fourth choice

The fourth important choice concerns Frank's dog and you will have to make it very quickly.

Throwing the bone on the road will cause the dog to be hit by a car, this is the far worst case scenario.

By throwing the bone into the parking lot, you will not cause any harm to the dog.

Fifth choice

The fifth choice will take place inside the camper in the parking lot and you can decide whether or not to leave the gun to Chloe. This choice will have no consequences within this episode.
