May's Death

             After learning of Zach's arrest  and imprisonment, May goes out to her wall. After a while August, June, Rosaleen, and Lily go to find her, but they are too late. May has drowned herself in the river behind the house and they cannot save her. The police arrive later to take care of May's body and to question the women. While Lily is being questioned the officer suggests that she shouldn't be "lowering" herself by staying with the sisters.
             May's body is returned to the house and as a sign of mourning August, Lily, and Zach cover the beehives in black material. Later August finds a note from May encouraging them to live their lives.
