It underscores their wordless understanding while they seek comfort in each other’s company.
A somber night falls before Georgia’s bail hearing. In a quiet montage, “All Alone” by David O’Dowda plays, its refrain “♪ All alone, all alone… ♪” echoing softly. We see Ginny lying in bed unable to sleep, and young Austin clinging to his stuffed animal – both children feeling the void of Georgia’s absence. The haunting vocals and piano emphasize the isolation: each of them is emotionally alone in processing the ordeal.
In a flashback scene, young Georgia is seen with her baby (Ginny’s brother) crying “Mom, we’re hungry.” Georgia leaves Austin under Ginny’s watch (“Watch your brother”) and steps out.

The upbeat tune coming from a speaker sets the stage before the flashback shifts tone.
This soulful 1970s track plays over a flashback to Georgia’s childhood. Teenage Georgia stands in a diner ordering cookies while Mama Was a Bad Seed narrates her past.

The song poignantly frames Georgia’s traumatic upbringing as she recollects it.
In the closing trial scene, Ginny reflects, “Now I don’t think anything will ever be the same” as the verdict looms. Liar swells in the background, its slow, haunting vocals (“Time moves slow…couldn’t speed up if I tried”) stretching out the tension. The song underscores the heartbreak and betrayal Ginny feels, watching her mother face consequences that will forever change their lives.
As the end credits roll, mother and daughter reunite in a quiet moment (“See? We can do it. It’s us against the world.”). It’s Called: Freefall plays over this final montage. The folk ballad’s opening lines (“Called to the Devil and the Devil did come…”) resonate with Georgia’s journey of flirting with darkness and facing the consequences, ending the episode on a reflective, bittersweet note.

A gentle indie-electronica song that starts when Zion opens the window in the morning at his apartment. It plays softly as Zion and Simone enjoy a cozy kitchen moment (making coffee and flirting).
