Nathan then discovers that he is adopted and that the man is really his father. He also learns that his adoptive father, Chief Wuornos, has been struggling for decades to psychically hold the town of Haven together. When Garland's control over the town begins to fail, he is killed in one final effort to save Haven. Nathan is initially angry at Audrey for not offering the older man comfort, but he later apologizes and reveals he can feel her touch. Nathan is there when another "Audrey Parker" arrives at the close of the episode. At the beginning of season one, Duke appears at the Haven, Maine police station to report a stolen revolver. Later, Crocker rescues FBI Agent Audrey Parker from drowning on her second day in town. He washes her clothes while she sleeps and makes her coffee the next morning – with milk and one sugar, exactly the way she likes it – even though Audrey has never seen the young man before. After Duke is arrested when his "stolen" gun turns up on Tuwiuwok Bluff, at the scene of Jonus Lester's mysterious death, Audrey clears him of suspicion in the case. Duke later acquires a stuffed marlin that once hung on the wall of the Shiny Scupper Restaurant and inadvertently buys the deed to the Second Chance Bistro from Bill McShaw for $20. Duke turns the place into the Grey Gull - a new bar/restaurant. In a later episode, he attends a surprise birthday party for Parker, and gives her a locket with the initials L.R. on the back. He admits that Lucy Ripley gave him the locket and that the old newspaper photo of Lucy (who uncannily resembles Audrey) also includes himself as a little boy. In the beginning of season one, Haven's Chief of Police, Garland Wuornos, grudgingly allows FBI Agent Audrey Parker access to the investigation of Jonas Lester's death, despite claiming that the man's greatest contribution to the town of Haven is dying. Lester is an escaped federal prisoner, so Parker is determined to figure out what happened to him and after the successful conclusion of the Lester case, Wuornos agrees to let Agent Parker look into the evidence container pertaining to the Colorado Kid murder. The two discover that the container (still closed with its original seal) is in fact, empty. Wuornos subsequently offers Agent Parker a job with the Haven Police Department, citing her willingness to "see things the way they are" as a valuable asset to his department.
