                                  suburbias plot 002 / season one.

                                                   but not forgotten.

though neither casey nor todd have been located since her first disappearance almost a month ago, few can forget the tragedy that’s come undone in their little town. the girls soccer team has been disbanded for the season, with no one willing to step up to the plate. the andrews family have become all but recluse, only allowing extended family and neighbors visit them, the father found pacing the streets late at night as if it will bring his little girl home.  the police say they’re trying - but without the help of mrs. vanessa harding, who claims to have had no contact with her husband since his disappearance, they can’t seem to close in on him. though his picture flashes on televisions all across illinois and the greater midwest, his features are generic enough to blend in. there’s a thousand of him, but none seem to have casey with him.  in the meantime, newcomers have begun floating in to the small town. journalists, hoping this can be their big break. huxsters, hoping to con the people of cassel into giving up their money in exchange for hope. people long since gone, returning to care for the family they’d abandoned years ago.  it’s a whirlwind of secrets, lies and emotions just waiting to explode.  but it’s clarissa andrews who finally comes clean -                         a sobbing confession, heard around town. it’s all my fault, her voice echoing from the social media video posted to her account in a plea for her sister to return. the two had fought, viciously, sending them both out of the house in different directions.                    if clarissa hadn’t of pushed her sister, would she have been picked up so easily?                            if clarissa had told sooner, could casey be home already?

in the wake of everything, it feels like a betrayal to most. sisters, turned against one another, pitted in competition over and over again throughout the years. and while heartbreaking, it still begs the question : how much longer can cassel have hope? will casey ever, truly return home, or should the rotting flyers be indication enough that she’s truly gone?
