As in all these kind of movies, there has to be a grizzled detective with a traumatic past in the mix, right? We meet Detective Frank Page (Dennis Haysbert), aka the owner of the buttery-smooth voice from the Allstate commercials, as he's buying a big teddy bear on the street (is that not where you buy your teddy bears?). He drives an epic, wood-paneled old car. And what do you know, he's assigned to Jennifer's case!
Cue an intense one-on-one interview scene featuring Detective Frank and Russell. Despite having no idea what his wife was doing alone at a rest stop in the middle of a rainy evening all alone, he seems to have an answer for f*cking everything. Husband of the year, I guess.
Plot twist: we learn that the teddy bear was actually for Frank's missing daughter, who disappeared at the age of 10. There are no leads in the case. I then cry for Frank. Poor guy. (FYI, this storyline ends here though, so don't expect any closure for him or you.)
Conveniently, dingbat Nurse Masters (Ashley Scott) tells Russell that his wife is awake without confirming that he is, in fact, HER HUSBAND . . . again. He's also informed by a doctor that she has essentially lost her memory. Russell proceeds to rip the line, "Does my wife know who I am or not?," to which the doctor replies a sombre "no." If you didn't see where this was going before, you definitely should now.
