About midway through the season, Doug is told that Rachel is dead, so he gives up on finding her. Then there's a breakthrough and Doug develops an elaborate murder plan. It all becomes too much for him when Rachel begs for her life, but after letting her go, Doug realizes she's a risk he just can't take. Cue the shovel scene.
