Luckily for Nub, Dr. Karen Dunbar, a psychiatrist, is vacationing on the island. She is there to get away from work, she who is questioning her commitment to her profession. Nub ends up helping Dr. Dunbar as much as she helps him. Meanwhile, Boris is not following Alex's menu and is making Russian food regardless of the wants of Alex or the Widow's Walk's customers. And talk around the island starts to focus once again on the man living out in the woods (and has been there for three years). Rumors have abounded as to his past, such as having mob connections, or being with the C.I.A., or being a test pilot, or being a bank robber. Besides his past, many on the island associate him with something akin to a boogeyman. The only person on the island with whom he has had any connection whatsoever since his arrival is Ruby, who only knows his name is Samuel and that he wants to be left alone. Daniel makes it his business to find out more about this mysterious bush man before others may take vigilante action against the stranger. Written by Huggo See less
