The Sinner's fourth episode wastes no time addressing last week's floating-corpse cliffhanger. The body belongs to Percy Muldoon. Turns out Detective Harry Ambrose's eyes did not deceive him that fateful night on the bluff — the troubled girl did indeed step off the cliff to her death.

In fact, Chief Lou Raskin — somberly echoing the coroner's findings to the Muldoons — confirms it: "He didn't find evidence of foul play... she died from the fall." Still, upon delivering the news to Meg, Sean, and Colin, he offers to keep the investigation open. But Uncle Colin quickly squashes the idea. He wants to bury his niece and move on.
