Template:QOTW - Quillsville Cold Case/Part 1

In August of 2002, the Willis family was finishing up their summer vacation at the Quillsville Pool with with the families of Ava Willis and her brother, Albert Willis, who had just got out of an abusive relationship after Albert divorced his estranged wife, Julie Crawford Willis, and about to come to terms over Ava's gender transition from male to female that was completed by Melissa Rose on nearly three years earlier on November 1, 1999 after medicailly transitioning for three years and socially transitioning for seven years.

The pool with which Albert drowned was immediately closed, so the police suspected Ava Willis of beating her dog Rags and initially ruled Albert's death an accident until Tiffani, who had just joined the Quillsville Police Department reopened the case.

In the present day Ava, Tom and Deanna proudly examine their new workbench inside the garage, Baxter exclaims that his mother, Julie, has been released from prison. When Austen and Baxter are out of earshot, Angie is disgusted as Ava states that she will "tongue-kiss Lando" before she allows "that bitch of a tramp" inside her home, though Ava did previously have an extramarital affair with Lando. A short time later, while discussing the latest news about Julie with her friends, Tiffani accidentally drops a heavy table clamp on her foot and decides to reopen the 2002 drowning of Albert Willis. Ava pulls off Tiffani's sock, revealing crusty yellow toenails underneath. Embarrassed, Tiffani decides to see a doctor. Later, Ava, Baxter and Austen discuss Julie's past. Ava warns Baxter and Austen that Julie betrayed her husband by stabbing him with a fork. But Baxter counters that his mother has given up drinking. Julie is dropped off at the Willis home by a burly female trucker. Mother and sons excitedly embrace one another, but Julie receives a noticeably stiffer welcome from the Willis family.
