The night Millie and the Fisherman are killed there is a full moon. When the bodies are buried in the daylight, there is a crescent moon in the sky.
At supper, there is chicken, but it appears to have maggots, so they can't eat it. Soon Ed sends Murphy hunting, saying they are out of food. Soon she returns with a raccoon, Ed saying he smells fresh meat. In the next scene, Ed is chewing on a chicken leg.
