Lyman and his mother consider taking Henry to go see a doctor, but figure that it would only do more harm than good. Lyman then gets the idea of banging of the red convertible (which he had kept in perfect condition while Henry was at war) to give Henry a goal and something to look forward to. Henry fixes up the car close to perfection and the two brothers go out for a drive like the summer many years before. At a creek bed, Henry admits that he knew what Lyman did to the car, they fight, and eventually Henry jumps into the water and the stream carries him away.
Lyman is preparing the car to be used again just as he is preparing to have a relationship with his brother again. When Henry returns from the war the car is damaged and then it is lost forever symbolizing their damaged relationship. Lyman purposely
