From the moment Jack discovers the truth about Janet to the public funeral and its aftermath; from Jack's final promise to Cassie to the wrenching epilogue when he realizes he might not be able to keep that promise after all - With Full Honors pays loving, fitting tribute to Janet, to Jack, and to Cassie.
O'Neill walked to the truck. Cassie sat ramrod straight in the passenger seat, the flag now resting on her lap.
He opened the door and asked, "Want to put that in the back?" indicating the seat of the extended cab.
"No, I'll keep it."
He settled into the driver's seat and started the engine. Fraiser's house wasn't far from the cemetery. As he signaled the turn that would take Cassie home, she reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Please, just keep driving," she pleaded.
He flipped off the turn signal and they blew by the intersection.
