Hello everyone, welcome to episode 3 of Bacon and Mystery. This mystery is going to be really intense. I mean, I don't even know what to say. This was the book called The Woman in the Window. This has been highly requested since two freaking weeks ago when this entire series came about. I was like, I don't know what you guys want me to be next. And then everyone's like, what about the woman in the window? And I want to say, I almost threw this book out of my window

about 10 times while I was reading it, not because it was so riveting, not because it was so good, but because if I have to hear about how the narrator is a drunk alcoholic who mixes her prescription pills with her alcohol with her bottle of Merlot with her glass of wine for one more chapter. I was like, done. There were so many times I put it down, but I will tell you if you take out all of the repetitive alcoholic parts, the plot? She's thickens. Okay, so today's video, if you guys are watching the visuals on Miss Mango Bud, or if you guys are listening to it

on the Rotten Mango on Apple Podcast or Spotify, welcome, let me interior ear holes. But if you guys are watching the visual version, what's up, tell me I have a good vest. It's my new vest, sorry. So today we're gonna be making a delicious fudge Nutella brownie topped with Ferrero Rochiers and Macadamia nuts.

It's gonna be a mouthful and it's gonna be 20 mouthfuls into my mouth and I'm just gonna start talking to you guys. Also, I did notice that a lot of you guys pointed out that I've been using this whisk that looks like this. It's because I only have a whisk that is attached to my, what you call it? My handheld whisker. Whisker. My whisker.

So the woman of the window, it is 400 something pages of just intensity. I mean, there are some parts where I was so dull. And I will say, I mean, I don't know if it's just me. If you guys are impatient, don't read this book. Watch this video instead because of both of the books that I've done begging a mystery on, this is one book I would not recommend to someone who is impatient. I mean, from the get go, you understand that that there's gonna be some sort of mystery involved obviously because of the genre but nothing really makes you feel creeped out. Nothing really it

makes you feel in my god spooky bits. Hydratiti, something's come in right? This one was interesting so it all starts with a protagonist a woman by the name of Anna Fox. Now Anna Fox goes by, or she goes by Dr. Fox, which is very interesting because you learned from the first like 10 chapters, dude. You learn that she's an agoraphobic. Am I saying that right? I don't think that I am.

Also, I'm just greasing my pan hold on. It's she's an agoraphobic, which means that she's scared of the outside world. So she has been trapped inside of her New York City townhouse. So she lives in Harlem of New York City townhouse. So she lives in Harlem of New York City and it's like a brown house. So everything's a brownstone. Everything's just connected together like a townhouse and she just lives there. It's five floors. It's a massive space. She just lives there and she hasn't really left the house since 11 months ago. So it's really

intense. I mean she has therapy sessions. She just doesn't like it. So people who have agoraphobia, they just don't like being outside. Like they can't do casual things, like go wait in a grocery store line or be in a small crowd. They just hate being outside. Now most of the times agoraphobia is not something that you're born with. It's usually a trauma condition.

So you have some sort of crazy trauma happening to your life and then you're like, I can't do this anymore. And so for Anna specifically, we don't learn what her trauma is from the get go. We just know that she is a PTSD patient for agoraphobia. For her, hers isn't even people. Like, she's okay with people. She will love to hang out with people.

I mean, it's a little overstimulating at times, but for her, she hates, she hates the horizon. She hates the sky. The sky, she feels like there's too much pressure in the sky. It's crushing, it's relentless. She can't look at the sky, it stresses her out. She doesn't even open the windows because she doesn't want to let the outside in. It's very, very interesting, right? So obviously, a lot has happened to her to get to this point because that isn not a normal fear that humans are just born with from what I know, right? So she used to be very interestingly enough a child

psychologist. We also learned that. That's why we call her Dr. Fox. So she's just being a child psychologist and now she quit her job and she's just hanging out at home because she can't leave the house and it's it's weird. It's a weird vibe. So now she just likes to be in areas where she can really control the environment she doesn't like anything where she feels out of touch out of control it's not her jam and right from the get go I'm just gonna give you a rundown on her I mean every single week she has a doctor a psychiatrist by the name of doctor felving who comes to her house and

he sits in the little library area so So I mean she's obviously loaded. I mean that's not part of the book. I'm just saying my speculation. The doctor comes every single week to give her more medicine. She's on like two handfuls of pills. Like she's got some beta blockers. She's got what do you call it? Anti-depressants, you know things to help her sleep. She's on so many different medications and she loves to pour it all out onto her coffee table, like these chocolate chips, grab a glass of wine, and just pick up a couple, and just eat them all. Like, she likes to double dose,

so she likes to take two doses at once. Sometimes she'll completely skip and never have any medicine for the day. And then the next day, she'll just chug all of them down with some alcohol. I mean, this girl is irresponsible. That's what we're learning. She's irresponsible.

So, Dr. Feldling has a big job ahead of him. So he comes over once a week and then she also has a woman by the name of Bina come over. Now, Bina is a physical therapist. So she obviously had suffered some sort of accident because we learned that she has a bad back. I mean, she was recovering from a lot of these things and Bina was helping her.

So she's like, okay, these two people are allowed to come over, they come here and they help me out. My gov is smart. Now it's probably important to add that her medication also causes her to freaking hallucinate. So obviously she's the world's most unreliable narrator. We don't love to see it, but here we are. So Anna starts doing some weird ash, and you're like, I wonder if this started because of her agro-oflobia,

or if she's always been a weirdo, because her favorite thing to do is look outside the window and stare at her neighbors. So she also bought an icon camera with a massive zoom lens, and the reason that she bought this was because it's stronger and clearer than binoculars. And she uses it to watch people. So she watches these people live their lives. I mean, she's watched so many people buy a new brown stone near her, move into the townhouse, then the wife ends up cheating.

They end up getting a divorce, selling it back on the market, then another buyer buys it, and then the husband ends up cheating. And she's like, wow, I just watched these people on a daily basis. It's really creepy. Now, it's very interesting because she also has a husband that she has separated from, and it's weird because they talk a lot, but it seems like they still kind of like each other, but you know some shit went down.

And she has this like crazy feeling towards cheating, so you of wonder did he cheat? Did she cheat? You know is that why they're not living together or is it the agro phobia because her husband's name is Ed and even though they're separated they take care of Olivia together and Olivia is staying with Ed while she's dealing with all of her trauma and stuff inside this brownstone. So they're separated but you can kind of tell that Ed kind of still loves her. So, you know, there will be times where she's like, I shouldn't have said this, but she'll say things like, I miss you, and then she'll hang up because she's like nervous about what he's gonna say. Like, does he miss her too? You know, it's like this uncomfortable boundary of like, they're not together. They're separated. They don't live together,

but do they still like each other? I mean, are they okay? Like what's going on? And then you have to wonder what's the trauma was at involved with her trauma that caused all of this, right? And he was an architect. He had moved out with their daughter Olivia who's eight years old and he's raising her They have like Chinese night where they just eat Chinese food and they call their mom, etc etc. And he always calls her slugger That's his nickname for her. They met when they were young, so she was a child psychologist. He was an architect and they started bonding over classical movies.

So during this entire book, you realize that Anna watches a sh-tana movies. She loves black and white movies, like how quirky of her. And so she just watches these movies and this is something that she used to do with Ed. So it kind of brings her back to that like happy marriage phase right. So they're constantly talking and he knows that she's creepy so I'm like this is kind of shocking like he knows that she loves to watch the neighbors. So she's like talking about all the neighbors so she can see about five townhomes from all of her different windows. So she's got windows in the front of the house and in the back of the house and so in front of the house she can see directly into the Miller's house. Now the Miller's are very interesting because you've

got this wife who is kind of like a housewife. She's got a bang and a bat. She's a blonde and she's very, very beautiful and her husband is a doctor, a very, very accomplished doctor, but she's sleeping with the contractor. Yeah. And then she like just watches them and one time the wife almost got caught but then didn't get caught and she was like, damn it, I guess not this time. I mean, it's just so weird. It's hard to say if we like Anna yet. Like, she seems like a little snoopy booger, right? And so she sees into the Miller's house and then right next to the Miller's house, there's two, two on this side and two on this side. And they're kind of like boring, right? So we've got one with an old couple

who hates all these young people gentrifying their neighborhood. That's what they say all the time. They hate it, they want them out of here. And then you've got another couple families that are boring. And then in the back of our house, they were her kitchen and from her bedroom,

she can see into 207, right? And unit 207 is interesting because people had just recently moved in and these are expensive areas. I mean, they had bought that townhome for about $3.6 million. And so first, she sees the husband move in. And she had already Googled them. I mean, his name is Alistar, but we're going to call him Alistar. His name is Alistar Russell.

He's married to Jane Russell and they have a teenage son together And he looks just like a creepy dude. So she googled them. She googled how much they bought the town home for She's really creepy and so she's doing all of this research and Alistair used to be a consultant at a consultant firm in Boston And she just kind of assumed like he probably transferred to a New York one or to a different consultant firm But he's a consultant. And Jane Russell, I mean, I don't know if this is a common name, but there just was no choice of Jane Russell anywhere. So she was like, oh, she's probably a housewife, doesn't have a LinkedIn, you know, it makes

sense, you know. And so she moved on with her life. And it's very interesting because this is the family that she becomes the most intrigued by. And her therapist thinks it's because they have the same family dynamic as her Ed and Olivia. So it's just two parents and one kid. So they have a teenage son by the name of Ethan.

Now the other families, they have either no kids or tons of kids, but this one, maybe she just sees that as, oh, shit, like if we weren't separated, like that's what my life could have been like. Like that's the future of me. And if I didn't have this trauma, I would just have a normal life like this family. So she watches them move in. She watches literally their every move. She gets her Nikon camera and just snoopity doops at them.

It's so creepy. Now as she's snooping, all of a sudden her doorbell rings. And she's like, who the fork is that? I'm not expecting any visitors, right? And she starts freaking out. And this is kind of when you can tell like, goddamn, like she's got, who the fork is that? I'm not expecting any visitors, right? And she starts freaking out. And this is kind of when you can tell like, goddamn, like she's got a lot going on. So prior to this, she just watches movies.

She plays online chess like a mother forker. Like she loves playing online chess. And then the other thing that she does is she likes to go on this website called Agora, which is a lot of Agora phobics. They go on there and they start talking to each other, right? And so she'll start DMing them. They'll have like community sessions and so she's just been doing this all the time and she hates it when people knock on the door and she's like, I'm not expecting anyone like I don't

This is not what I want. So she starts freaking out. She looks outside her doorbell and it's freaking Ethan the teenage boy That belonged to the Russell's Ethan, the couple that just moved in, the one that she keeps stalking, because they remind her so much of her own family if she didn't have trauma. And so he knocks on the door and she's like, okay, I mean, I guess you can come in, and she said immediately, she really liked Ethan.

I mean, he just was not a regular teenage boy, so he's 17 years old, and he just was so sweet and he said, oh I'm here because my mom wanted me to drop off this candle. It's like a lavender-centred candle. I hope you like it. And she was like, wow, like, you've got some. What do you call it? Manor. Manor's. And she's like, aren't eyes supposed to be the one dropping off stuff to you guys? You guys are the new neighbors. And he was like, yeah, my mom's a little bit extra. It's fine. And so she's like, well, how about you come in let me light this candle

she offers him a glass of water now mind you there are two other people living inside of Anna's house so you've got punch the cat don't punch the cat but that's the name of the cat is punch and then she has a tenant by the name of David which is crazy because like you're an agoraphor-phobic, why would you have someone? And we learn that it's because her therapist had told her, listen, it's nice to probably, especially after you and your husband separated, your husband can't go do all these things for you anymore. It's nice to have a tenant, give them some discounted rent, and they can do things like take out the trash because she literally doesn't even like to go to the bottom of her steps. She doesn't even like to go onto our balcony, she has a rooftop deck. She doesn't go up there. She hates the outside. And so she was like,

okay, that sounds good. So she gets David to move in and he's just like this younger hot looking dude. Those are her words, not mine. Don't be looking at me like that. And so he's just never home. And so Ethan, she's like kind of excited to have someone in the house. So she's like, please take a seat. Ethan takes a seat. He's hanging out with punch and and she knew right off the bat, like, even was chill. He was cool because Punch likes Ethan and Punch hates everyone. Punch wants to punch everyone. So she's like, wow, I can't believe my cat likes you. My cat hates everyone.

And he's like, yeah, I think animals just like me. And she's like, well, tell me about it. Do you like your new place? And he, being the emotional teenager that he is, he starts crying. This is their first meeting and he starts crying because he said, my parents want me to love it here, but I missed my friends in Boston. And he starts crying his eyes out and she's just like, holy shit. Now, kind of the child psychiatrist and her pops out of nowhere and she's like, let me help you. And so she's like, tell me about it and she's sitting

there just like, cross-legged as if she was you know a child psychologist all over again. And he's like well my dad's kind of strict. He won't even let me have a phone or an email. And since we moved to New York he wants me to be home-schooled all of a sudden. And I can't even go swimming anymore. And she's like swimming. He's like when I was in Boston, I used to teach disabled kids how to swim. And I really loved it and they don't want me to do it anymore. They just want me to stay home and be homeschooled and try to get into a good college. And I'm so miserable.

And she's like, God damn, right? And he's like, is that your daughter? He sees a picture of their family. And she's like, yeah, she's in love with me, but she's eight, so she's a lot younger than you. And he was like, oh, she looks nice. And she's like, yeah, her birthday is Valentine's Day. And he's like, that's kind of cool, right? So they start bonding. She's trying to build a rapport with him because, you know, she doesn't want to freak him out. And he's just overall very likable. That's also when

we learn that his bedroom is facing her bedroom. And she's like, okay, like, that's cool. And she's like, you know what, why don't you borrow this movie? Like you seem bored, you know, like homeschooling, you don't have your phone, and you only have limited access to the computer. Why don't I give you this black and white movie? He's like, black and white. And she's like, no, I swear, it's actually so freaking good.

And so she's like, okay, he takes it. And at the end, he asks for a glass of water. And she's like, here, you seem really thirsty. And he's itching his nose and he goes, yeah, I'm allergic to cats. And she's like, you seem really thirsty and he's itching his nose and he goes yeah I'm allergic to cats and she's like you've been petting my cat punch the whole time and he's like he is so friendly I didn't want to offend him and so she realizes that maybe something's going on because he seems to be really nice for a teenage boy and it does seem like his dad is super controlling and just kind of overall bossy and creepy and she wonders maybe he's abusive.

And so Ethan leaves and she starts watching some movies and she starts kind of thinking about her days as a child psychologist. So she used to have 19 tiny little patients, children. So she's have 19 patients and she kind of misses it but she knows that until she can take care of herself she can't take care of anyone else, right? So she thinks about how Ethan is so similar to them, she just kind of misses her job and normalize.

And now it's Halloween night. Like we don't even know if it's been days, it's Halloween night. Halloween night approaches, and she's like, I don't even want to put candy out there. And David's like, I think we should put a bowl of candy out there. Obviously you're not going to open the door for people, but we should put a bowl of candy out there. And she's like, have you ever been a kid? The minute that we put a bowl of candy out there. Obviously, you're not gonna open the door for people, but we should put a bowl of candy out there. And she's like, have you ever been a kid? The minute that we put a bowl of candy out there, one little kid is gonna take it all.

And so she decides not to. And that's when her house gets egged. So people start coming around and they start throwing these eggs, just whack, whack, whack them onto her house. And she starts panicking. Like, she's having a massive panic attack because this is her house, this is her safe spot.

And now people are throwing Ex at it. It's really scary. Are they gonna ever stop? She doesn't know what to do and she almost feels ashamed because it's like all she has to do is open her door and YELLOW THESE STUPID KIDS TO NOT EGRE HOUSE and they probably we get scared and run away because you've got this middle-aged woman The yelling at them, but she can't do it. And so they keep coming. I mean, she thought it was just gonna be one or two eggs, but then it's a third and then a fourth and then she was like, fuck it. And she opens the front door and walks outside and the kids start laughing at her and she

has a panic attack and the next thing she remembers is just tasting blood in her mouth and being on the cement. Like, she had collapsed in the panic attack. So it's not a joke. It's very serious. She literally cannot go outside without having these massive panic attacks. She doesn't even know who helped her but somehow someone had helped her back into her room into her house and they were just like, are you okay?

You know, and she's like looking up and she's kind of rubbing her eyes and she's like, oh my gosh, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. And she looks up and she goes, you're Jane Russell. Now the lady's like, because that's creepy. Like, imagine not introducing yourself to your neighbor, but they already know your name. And she goes, I, I met your son who came over at Ethan. Um, he told me your name was Jane. Um, and she's trying to make up for it because Ethan did not tell her her name's Jane. She's just been googling too much. So Jane helps her inside and she's like to make up for it because Ethan did not tell her her name's Jane. She's just been googling too much.

So Jane helps her inside, and she's like, oh, your son's so nice. He dropped off the candle that you gave me, and she was like, oh yeah, he's really amazing, right? And she's talking about her son, and she's like, are you okay? Like, what's going on? And so she tells her, I'm in a goryphobic. I can't go outside without having panic attacks. And she even tells her, you know, one time I had people deliver groceries and usually they leave it at the top front door for me and David to grab

But they have left it at the bottom of the steps of the townhouse And I thought you know I could just grab those and quickly come up to the kitchen and put them away and I fainted So she was like it's really bad and so Jane was like, yeah I mean everyone's got their weaknesses and it seems like Jane's really nice So obviously and it's like you know Jane I mean, everyone's got their weaknesses and it seems like Jane's really nice. So obviously, and it's like, you know, Jane and Ethan, immediately they're the same. Why are they so freaking likable? Like she loves the both of them already.

So then Jane is like, don't worry about it, enjoy your Halloween night, and maybe I can help you clean up the eggs another day, because obviously her house had been night, and so she's like, thank you so much and she leaves. Now at this point, she starts watching some more movies and going online and talking to a bunch of people and it seems that she likes to help people without helping herself. So it's very interesting because we see that she's mixing her prescription

drugs with alcohol but like she's also giving advice on Agora, right? So she's introduced to a username by the name of Grandma Lizzie. Now grandma Lizzie, her husband Richard had just recently passed away. She lives in a farm in Montana and she can't go outside anymore. Like it's like this weird feeling of she can't understand how the world is still functioning when the only person she loves is like God. Like it's hard for her to understand. She freaks out when she goes outside now and she was referred to Anna's username for help and so Anna starts talking to her and this is the first time that Anna starts connecting with someone as deeply like she gives up her username she gives up her name her occupation she's like well I'm Lizzy like I live in Montana and

she's like well my name's Anna and I live in New York you know and you can see that they're really bonding so it's very interesting, it's weird, honestly. And then the rest of her life goes back to the mundane of just being home all day and there's a lot of issues inside the house. She doesn't like cleaners coming in to clean the house so it's super dusty. I mean, you're talking five levels, 4,000 square feet.

There's a lot going on, I mean, just a shit ton. One thing about the house that she loves so much is the skylight that limits the sky. So she has this skylight that goes down all the way in the middle of the stairs, like you would imagine like a big, expensive town home to have. And it's an original skylight from like the 1900s, and it's an oval shape, and she loves it so freaking much. But she notices next to the skylight there's like some sort of leak on the ceiling.

So she's like, hey there, come help me fix this leak. And he's like, yeah, you probably need a paint pained over you probably need to have some professional work done and she's like Okay, I'm gonna do it and he's like you definitely need to replace the skylight and she's like I can't this is an original And he's like yeah, well it looks like just one small storm and that's gonna come flying through the window Like you need a replacement foreshadowing much and so then she's like okay sounds good I'll replace the skylight, but she probably won't. So then the doctor stops by, and this is the first time that we actually meet him in the story other than just knowing that he stops by once a week. And he seems to be very

caring. Now he also realizes a lot about Anna that she doesn't even realize. She's talking about Jane, she's talking about Ethan, and he's just like, you know, I think that you're a little bit overstimulated. And she's like, yeah, that's exactly what Ed said that these people are gonna overstimulate me and I'm just gonna be back where I started, but I can't help, but they're so intriguing. He's like, I don't know. And so he decides to prescribe her more medication.

More than she was already on and he said, I'm gonna up your dosage. I mean, she knows what that means. She was a child psychologist. She knows that means she's not doing well right now. So she's like, okay, I'm gonna take it. And you can already tell that he knows her habits because he keeps telling her, don't take these without a call.

Don't take these with alcohol. That's when we also learned that she has been out a couple times during the past 11 months and he had offered to take her out again, but she didn't want to. So they have a secret trick. Now what this secret trick is that she has Ed's old umbrella from like when they first started dating that they just kept for so long and she will use that umbrella because it's massive. It's a huge umbrella and she'll use it to block the sky and she'll try to go outside. So she can't see the sky even if it's sunny, even if it's not raining she uses the umbrella and at first she would go off onto the rooftop then she would go out onto the street and then it just became too much and she hasn't been outside in

months and so she's like okay well I'm obviously gonna get more of the medication that he prescribed but I'm definitely gonna down it with a mouthful. So she starts getting the medication it gets delivered straight to her door. She doses it down with some more wine. And she decides she's freaking bored. What should she do today? She grabs her little Nikon camera and she's like, I'm a freaking look out my computer window

and look at Jane Russell. Like there's something about that family. I don't know what it is, but I like them. And so she grabs her little camera and she starts zooming up on them. And Jane Russell, Alistair Russell, and Ethan Russell are all in the living room, right? And she's just watching them and it's super creepy. When all of a sudden Jane turns around and looks straight into her camera and waves.

And so she's like, what do I do? And so she drops her camera and she's like, okay, I'm gonna hide. I'm not gonna wave back. I'm not gonna act like, oh no, I was just taking a picture of that bird, right? And so she starts hiding and ducking and she's like, ah, this is so bad, this is so bad. And she's panicking, she's like, okay, whatever. I'm just gonna knock out, I'm gonna drink some wine, take some pills, knock the fuck out. And then she hears a knock on the door and she's like, what is that? Wait, did she actually see her? Yeah. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ah! Isn't that the most embarrassing thing ever? It's fucking scary.

It's not embarrassing. Okay fine, it's a little scary. But also embarrassing, no? Hell yeah. Oh my god. How did they see her? I mean, she had her lights on. Whoa, what are you putting in?

I'm putting in a little chocolate wafer's Nutella and macadamia nuts. And then we top it with the rest of the batter It's illegal honestly this is so much the amount of chocolate in here Wow, okay, let me just scoop this put it in the oven and I'll be right back So she's freaking out when the doorbell rings and finally she's like, okay, I mean obviously I can't avoid this I think it's gonna be Jane She's probably gonna tell me off on like why the fuck are you looking at our house with the camera like I thought you were chill I thought you were cool, but you're just afraid you know and so she's like shoot

She opens the door and there stands Jane with two bottles of wine and she says you must be really bored And so she walks in and she's like, I don't even know what to do. Like Anna's face is completely red. She's embarrassed. She's shamed. Like she doesn't even know how to justify something like this. Like what did she say? I just wanted to catch like the birds flying by, you know?

And she's like, ah, what do I do? What do I do? And so he's, she's like, oh, is that why? And she starts pointing at the TV and she's like, you're watching way too many black and white movies. These are so boring. Like no wonder you're so bored. And so Anna's like, you're watching way too many black and white movies. These are so boring. Like, no wonder you're so bored. And so Anna's like, oh God, what do I do?

And so she's like, where's your wine glasses? She starts pouring her a bunch of glass of wine and they start drinking together. And Jane is super chill. I mean, it seems like she's not being judgmental. She's like, I get it. Like, you don't leave your house. I mean, how much entertainment can you really get

inside your house? And so they start talking and they just start having so much fun. don't leave your house. I mean, how much entertainment can you really get inside your house? And so they start talking and they just start having so much fun. They start playing chess together and Jane sucks at chess. So they start playing chess together. She's like, wow, you've got a lot of pills. And she was like, I know, right? So she pours all of her pills onto the coffee table.

And she's like, what's this one for? And Anna's like, well, that one's for anti-depression. And then she's like, what's this one for? And she's like, oh, shoot,'s for anti-depression. And then she's like, what's this one for? And she's like, oh, shoot, I forgot to take those. And she takes them and she swells them with some wine. And she's like, wait, did I hurt you, take these? So obviously, you can tell that girl is a little bit of a drugie.

She's got a little bit of a habit. And so Jane is there laughing with her. And there's just talking and playing jazz. And they realize that they have the same birthday, November 11, and they always say 11, 11. And they start bonding. Jane is really really cool so they get drunk and Jane's like give me a piece of paper. So she grabs a piece of paper, grabs a pencil and she starts just drawing stuff and she's like Anna just sit that right and Anna's like don't forget my double chin you know and she's like

get out of here and she's super nice and she draws a picture and she turns around and she's like look it's you and it was and it was signed Jane Russell at the bottom and she's like are you an artist? Like I thought you were a stay-at-home wife are you an artist and she's like well, I just like to draw It's like a party track so they bond over that and she's like isn't there something you like to do and and I was like Well, I used to be really into photography and she's like I can tell She's like no not of like people. Okay, you know what, fair enough, fair. The touche, not until like people, but like nature back when I used to be able to go outside.

And so Jane is like, well, you shouldn't wait till you die to do something. And they look outside the window and there's this beautiful sunset. So she's like, okay, you're right. So she takes out her iPhone and takes a little picture of the sunset. It's really pretty.

And they start talking some more. And Jane has these beautiful pearl earrings on. And Anna's like, those are really pretty of those from Alistair. And she's obviously trying to be nosy. And Jane's like, no, they're from an ex-boyfriend. And she's like, does he know? Does he care?

And she's like, that they're from an ex-boyfriend? Or that I am wearing them? And she's like, I don't know. And she goes, he probably doesn't know. My dad even noticed. And she's like, oh, what's wrong with Alistair? He's a good dad. He's an amazing dad. He's just a little bit controlling. He's a little bit unforgiving. That's the word. What do you mean unforgiving? Well, Jane used to be a wild child. So when they first met, Jane was kind of a partier or she really wasn't ready to have kids. I mean she looks like a young mom. She definitely wasn't ready to have kids. But she ended up falling in love with Alistair. They ended up getting pregnant, decided to keep the baby, get married,

you know, and even after having the baby it took her a while to calm down and realize I need to be a good mom. And because of that anything that Jane does now, Alistair sees it as like oh oh my god, here you go again, like off to the deep end, you're gonna fuck it up again. Like, here you go with your old ways, you know? And so she's like, oh, like a feel bad for you, girl. And so finally, after two and a half hours of playing chess and of all these, you know, fun things that they do, she finally leaves. She's like, I gotta get home before Alistair gets home and I'll see you later. So she gives her a hug and she leaves and she's like, holy shit, this is the first time I'm connecting with someone

and I really like them. So she tells Ed about everything and he doesn't seem as happy. He's like, like I said, you need to tell your doctor. You just, you shouldn't be overstimulated. Remember what happens when you get overstimulated. Just be careful. And she's like, don't worry. So then that night, she's like, you know what? Maybe I am overstimulated. Soulated just be careful and she's like don't worry So then that night she's like you know what maybe I am over stimulated so she takes more drugs And she starts drinking more alcohol and she starts watching TV and then she gets another knock on her door

And she's like holy shit, I'm freaking popular these days. So she goes and it's freaking out of Russell so she's holding on to her tith and she's like what do I do? What do I do? She's like I'm so drunk He's gonna know I'm drunk like I'm forked up dude and she like, okay, I'm gonna just open it and pretend like I'm normal. So she opens it. She's got a robe on it. She's like, how can I help you? And so he's like, can I come in? And she's like, absolutely. And so he comes in and he's like, nice to meet you. I'm Alistair Russell and she's like nice to meet you. And he's all like, did you have any visitors today? Um, no, I didn't. She didn't want Jane to get in trouble

because it seems like he is really crazy controlling. Probably like your stereotypical abusive, you know, high-spend. And so she's like, no visitors. And Alistair looks at the chess board and goes, really? And she looks at it and she goes, my tenant loves playing chess. We play chess together all the time.

How would you know that I don't love chess? And he's like, oh, so nobody has come to visit. Nobody. And she's like, nope, nobody at all. And he's like, okay, thank you. And she's like, oh yeah, thank you, a wife for the candle. And he looks at it and he goes, I thought you said you had no visitors.

No, your son dropped it off a couple days ago. What day? I don't know, Like, was it Sunday? I don't know. Saddered it. Why doesn't matter? Why doesn't matter? And she started to freaking out.

Like, at first, she was drunk and she was being a little complicit and she was like trying to protect Jane Russell. But then she's like, wait a second, you all up in my house asking all the questions. And she's like, why doesn't matter? And he was like, it doesn't. Thank you. And he leaves. And she's like, what a freaking weird? And he was like, it doesn't. Thank you. And he leaves.

And she's like, what a freaking weirdo. And so it starts getting really dark. And she's like, that was just so weird. So she decides to go to our kitchen window, grab some of our Nikon, look through it. And in the living room, she sees Jane and Ethan sitting on one side of the couch together

and Alistair sitting on the other one, like a little teacher, like giving them rules and shit. And she's like, just looks so bad. Like imagine, a family, perfectly happy, living in this $4 million town home. But she's like, that's one thing I learned about

child psychology. No family is the same. No matter how much you think you know a family, every family member has their own secrets. And no family will you ever really understand. And so she was about to take a picture, but she was like, no, that's not why I got this camera. I never really take pictures, like I just look.

But for some reason, she just felt compelled to take a picture, but she just didn't. She was like, it's a little weird. And so she wakes up in the morning and she's throwing up. The best was wasted. So she's throwing up and she's like, God, like what happened last night?

And she was like, oh yeah, that lady came over and I drank so much wine with her. And I think I doubled those my medication. And she's looking around and she was like, oh yeah, that lady came over and I drank so much wine with her and I think I doubled those to my medication and she's looking around and she's like, did the lady even come over? Like, am I that crazy? And so she walks downstairs and sure enough where all the wine bottles that Jane had brought

because Jane is a white wine drinker. And now Anna, she's a red wine drinker. So she's like, I would never buy white wine, a trash. And so she's like, oh no, okay, yeah, I'm not crazy. Like I genuinely did not hallucinate that entire interaction. I'm fine And so she's looking around and she's like, man, I need to stop double dosing with alcohol. That is bad And she starts kind of cleaning up and she's talking to Ed and she's like, this is I mean, it's crazy No, and then she's like, I wish you could be here. And he's like, he's about to say something and she's like, I miss you

And he's about to say something and she's like, I miss you. And he's about to say something and she's like, Oh wait, I gotta go. I hear a sound. So she just like confesses her love for her separated husband. I mean, I don't even know if she's still drunk at this point. And she's like, I gotta go, I hear a sound. So she brushes downstairs and it's David. David's there. He's looking for an exacto knife, like a box cutter. And she's like, why do you need that?

I mean, I think I have one and it's old, you know, like toolbox that he had left. I mean, I guess we can go try digging it from the utility closet and he's like, okay, that sounds great, like I really, really need it. And so she's like, okay, so they go together and they open up the toolbox and sure enough, there's an exacto knife and he's like, thanks. And she's like, what do you need this for?

And he's like, oh, I'm gonna go over to the rest of us to help them unpack. They wanted me to assemble some furniture. So David's entire occupation is just being like a handyman. So he had put up posters in the local coffee houses on the street, and you know, the restels had called them. And so she was like, I'm just gonna go help them with their furniture, and she was like, oh, okay, we'll just... Okay, David ends up leaving to go help the restels with their furniture, and she starts talking to Olivia, and she's eating low-main again because they have Chinese once a week

You know and she's kind of having him trouble with Olivia because she no longer calls her mommy She calls her mom and she's unlike that she wants her to call her mommy But Olivia's eight now so Olivia calls her mom. I mean, I don't know if that's pertinent to the story Okay, but she's really upset by this. She's like really just Embothered by this little distinction. She's like mom and she's like mom me. And she's like, no mom, and she's like me. And she's like, yes, you're mom. And she's like, no, mom me.

Okay, anyways, I digress. And so then she has a therapy session and she's telling her therapist all about this. And then she says, I just wish, I wish we didn't go to Vermont. And he's like, I know, I know. We've talked about this, you know, and how do you feel?

And she goes, if we didn't go to Vermont, I wouldn't have this trauma. And I could just go outside like a normal person. I could have a normal life in a normal family. And instead, I'm just in here all day. Just all day I can't leave. And he's like, I know how you feel. So it seems like something can happen

on a winter vacation in Vermont that she, for some reason, doesn't want to fully talk about, but like some shit went down and now she can't go outside. Okay, now we're talking about her few friends. Bina comes over, Bina gives her more therapy and grandma Lizzie, she starts telling grandma Lizzie so much advice. So grandma Lizzie is old. She didn't even know Agora, this website existed.

Like, she's old and then got agoraphobia and then her psychiatrist was like, check out this website. There's a community there. And so grandma Lizzie is like, you know life is so confusing I don't know what to do like I'm depressed and you know She was like I think that you should donate Richard's clothes. I know it sounds scary But once you do that, I think even your husband would appreciate that you would appreciate that is closer not being just Collecting dust and then maybe after that it's easier to move on, you know, and she's giving her all this advice and she's talking about

Maybe after that it's easier to move on, you know, and she's giving her all this advice and she's talking about, oh, the other day I locked myself out of the house and it was just sheer terror, you know, this grandma. She has a glorifobia and she locked herself out of the house. It was just panic after panic and she didn't know what to do. And she's also talking about how she, like, this is a whole new world. Like it sounds really bad, but her husband paid all the bills and did all of these things and now they want all these, like, online accounts and so she's helping her. She's like, okay, I'm gonna get you a maintenance man in Montana I'll look around in your local area and she's like, oh my god, you were the biggest sweetheart ever and she was like

And I know you're really bad with computers because grandma is he always talked about it and she was like, okay Here's what I would do if I were you just use one of your son's birthday. What did you say their names are again? Bowen william. Yeah, just use one of your son's birthday. What did you say their names are again? Bow and William? Yeah, just use one of their birthdays. That's what I do. And like, sometimes what I do is like, I'll change the letters of someone's name to numbers. So let's say you have William. Maybe it's a W and then a one, you know?

And maybe that'll help you remember the passwords better. So she's really trying to help this woman while she's taking pills and drinking wine. It's like, who are you to help someone? And so she's done with that conversation, drinking some more wine, watching some TV, and around 5 o'clock p.m. she hears a blood curling scream. Like not a scream that you hear normally, not kids playing, but a scream where something really terrible has happened.

She can't pinpoint it with some shit that was going down. So she starts freaking out. She looks outside in the front of her townhome. She looks to the sides. She looks to the back. And that's when she's like, oh my god, I'm pretty sure it's coming from the Russell's house. And she waits.

And sure enough, there's another screen. So she's like, oh my god, this is so bad. And so she rushes to her landline and she picks up her phone because her landline had been disconnected as a whole shit show. And she picks up her phone because her landline had been disconnected as a whole shit show and she picks up her phone and she immediately dials the Russell's house and Ethan picks up. And so Ethan is like, hello? And she's like, hey I just tried to scream what happened and he goes, it's fine. What do you mean it's fine?

Did something happen? No, it's fine. He just lost his temper again. It's fine. And he's crying, obviously. And he's like, do you need help? And he goes, no, just stay out of it. And then he hangs up. And so this time, he's like, okay, obviously, like this is her child's ecologist instincts are kicking in. She's got to help this boy. This boy needs help. And so she immediately read out his phone, hoping that he's going to pick up. But instead, Alistair picks up. and it's just that cold voice again. This is Alistair and so she brushes to the

kitchen window and she's watching him through her camera while she's on the phone and he's pacing around his kitchen and she's like turn around turn around I want to see her face and she's like I heard a scream and he's like oh I don't know anything about a scream um what and she's like, oh, I don't know anything about a scream. Um, what? And she's like, no, I heard it coming from your house. No, you did it. I mean, it's just me and my son here. Why would there be a scream? Neither of us screamed. And she's like, no, I'm sure of it.

I heard a scream. And he turns around and he puts down a hammer. And he says, you did not hear a scream. I don't know what you heard, but it wasn't a scream. And if it was, it wasn't from here. Anyways, I've got to go. I've got another call coming in. And he hangs up on her, and he leaves the phone on the counter, picks up the hammer, and

walks out of the kitchen, out of view. And so she's freaking out, so she's watching all of the levels of that townhome, just hoping that she can get a glimpse of something, and she's looking for Jane, because obviously it seems like he's losing his temper on Jane. And that's when she sees Jane rushing through the front door, rushing out like a little scared mirror cat. She said just looking around scared looking back up and then running away from the town home. Her roommate David comes home and she's like, were you just at the rustles helping them with furniture? And he was like, well, I left a little bit earlier today. And she was like,

where were you at five o'clock? I don't freaking remember. And she's like, did you hear a scream? No, I didn't hear anything. So she's like, huh, am I going crazy? Like, what's wrong with me? And so she's waiting and then all of a sudden the doorbell rings and it's Ethan and he was crying. So she opens the door, his eyes are bloodshot, they're super red. And this is the second time they've met and both times he's been crying. So she's like, okay, some shit's going on in that house. So she gives him a hug and while she's giving him this hug, she's trying to look for signs of abuse, like bruises on the back of his arms, you know,

things like that and she can't find any, but just because there's no physical abuse doesn't mean abuse isn't happening. And so she's like, tell me what's going on. And he's like, I'm so sorry for hanging up on you and being mean to you on the phone. I just, I was just scared. I don't even know I'm here right now.

I just, I wanted to leave the house for a second and I didn't know where else to go and I don't know what to do. And she's like, is your dad mad? Is he hitting your mom? Like what's going on? And he was like, no, dad was just angry. It's okay, like it's fine.

He's fine now. I should go back. And so he starts leaving. And she's like, no, no, it's okay. Like you can fine, he's fine now. I should go back and so he starts leaving and she's like, no, no, it's okay, like you can stay. Are you scared of your dad? And he says, no, no, he just likes to talk about things he'll do, but he never does it anyway. So it's okay, it's okay.

And she's like, that's not okay. Then like, that's not okay. And so he was like, do you have a phone? Not yet, he said maybe I'll get one for my birthday. And so she's like, okay, we'll take my Not yet. He said, maybe I'll get one for my birthday. And so she's like, okay, we'll take my number. So she gives her number on a piece of paper and gives it to him and says, give it to your mom too, okay? So she has my number.

And you guys can call me anytime, okay? And so he says, thank you. And he leaves. Now again, she decides to kind of take away this harsh feeling with a bunch of pills and some more alcohol. And she goes into the shower and she's feeling really lupian. She's just sitting on the shower like this and she opens her eyes and she had written the name Jane Russell all over her shower in the steam. And she's like, huh. So you start to feel this feeling of like, is this crazy? Like, is everyone crazy? Who's crazy here? It's maybe the Russell's just a normal family and she's like dramatizing it in her head?

Where like maybe Ethan's just a teenage boy like wants to go to prom but like his dad won't let him, you know? What's going on? And that's when we start opening up with Anna's trauma. Now Anna decides to confide in grandma Lizzie and it seems like grandma Lizzie is probably the closest person to her at this point

and they are just communicating via the internet. So grandma Lizzie is like a 70-year-old grandma who is in a farm in Montana and something about that just like makes her feel like I like this lady. She's she's weird. She was weird. She doesn't even know how to use emojis and so she's like I feel like I can just talk to her without her judging me. Like all these younger people they're so jadgy like middle-aged people, all these middle-aged housewives jadgy and so she's telling her like so they went to Vermont during their winter break and Olivia loves Vermont because all of Olivia's friends went well they're not really friends they're like school

acquaintances they all went to Vermont and they're like oh my god you can like go skiing in Vermont and so Olivia was like mom I want to go to Vermont so I planned this massive trip going to Vermont and we bought these ski jackets. I booked this resort and 10 days before the trip, Ed and I decided to separate. And it seems like something happened. So she didn't really tell grandma Lizzie, but it seems like either, you know, it seems like she cheated. That's what I was thinking when I was reading this. It seems like she cheated. And so, you know, they decided not to tell Olivia until after the trip because they don't want to ruin Olivia's first trip to Vermont.

And so they were just gonna be like, okay, we're just gonna be a happy family and mother freaking Vermont. So the good of Vermont, they check into this resort, winters, a common, it's snowing, they go skiing the first day, the second day's great. And then the third day, Ed approaches Anna and says, listen, I need to tell Olivia,

like I can't pretend to be happy like this amazing family holding hands with you in front of her daughter, like I don't want to do this anymore. And she was like, okay, well don't blame me if we ruin Olivia's trip. And he says, but I do blame you. I blame you for everything. And he walks out. And Anna kind of felt bad telling this to Grandma Lizzie because I mean, imagine her husband just died

and she's talking about how she probably did something bad to her husband and they were divorcing. When the trauma came, like the trauma came because of separation versus death, she was like, oh, what is she gonna think of me? So she's having second thoughts and she's like, maybe I shouldn't finish the story. And that's when Grandma Lizzie logs off. So she logs off the thoughts and she's like, maybe I shouldn't finish the story. And that's when Grandma Lizzy logs off.

So she logs off the chat and she's like, oh my god, this is like, I'm fucked up. And so she's really upset by this, like the fact that she had upset Grandma Lizzy like this. So she grabs her pill bottles and downs a bunch of pills with a bunch of wine and she's like, whatever, I'm just gonna hang out. She turns on a movie, a very creepy movie,

black and white movie and she starts looking out the window again and she's grabbed her Nikon camera and she's watching the Ressles it's her favorite thing to do these days so she's watching the Ressles and she sees Jane in the living room And she's like oh, I wonder if she's gonna say hi I almost wanted to say hi so she can like come over and we can drink again and so she's watching her and She's walking a little bit weird Jane so she's like oh maybe she's drunk too like maybe if I could just walk over there and drink with her half fun with that beam and she's kind of like stuck like walking like this and then she turns around and she's holding her stomach and there's blood everywhere and so she sees this through the camera and it looks like Jane is looking at her and points at her and

mouths help and then she grabs her hand up to the window and then she collapses leaving this hand streak of blood on the window so she starts freaking out and she's like oh my god I gotta call the police I gotta call the police what do I do so she throws her camera on the ground she reaches for the landline and the kitchen the landline has been disconnected. David had told her to plug it in. She freaking forgot. So then she runs up to the next floor, which is her study.

Her office is there. So she grabs her computer and she's like, what do I do? You know, she's typing and skyping all of these things and skyping is like, sorry, you cannot make 911 calls off a Skype, it is not a telephone service. So she's like, fork. So then she runs up all the way to the top floor and she goes to her bedroom and she goes through her sheets. And finally she finds her phone.

And she dials 911 and she says, hello, hello, my neighbor has been stabbed. Please help. My neighbor has been stabbed. And they say, okay, Miss, you need to calm down. What's your name? My name is Anna Fox. My neighbor has been stabbed. My name is Anna Fox. My neighbor has been stabbed. She gives her address, you know, and they say, how do you know your neighbor has been stabbed again? And she said, I saw them, I saw the stab, I saw the stab. And they ask her, Anna, did you stab your neighbor? And she says, no, no, I didn't.

And she's looking outside of her bedroom and she can see the Russell's house from her bedroom. And she sees another hand, go up to the bloody streak. And she's like, oh my God. Oh my God, she's alive. And she's like, okay, the ambulance is couple blocks away. I am right there. I can save her. And so she throws her phone on the ground.

In her bathroom runs all the way downstairs. Counts to three, grabs her secret umbrella, opens the door and starts running out with her umbrella. And she's like, okay, I'm just gonna close my eyes most of the time, open them, close them, open them. And so she's closing them, running, bumping into things and then opening them, looking around under her umbrella. So she can really only see the floor.

And she's like, breathe, don't have a panic attack. We just need to get to Jane's house. And she's like, breathe, breathe, breathe. And she's like, oh my God, where am I? And there's this tiny little park separating their houses. And so she's walking into the park and she's like, I'm in the park, right? And she and she's like okay if I go through the park then I can probably get through this and then she starts kind of hyperventilating

and she's like when I hear an ambulance I hear an ambulance okay I just have to follow the sound of the ambulance and then I'll end up at Jane's house and so she starts following the sound and then she wakes up in a hospital. She had really tried I mean even while she was outside and with the umbrella, she was thinking to herself, like she had this one kid that was a patient of hers. And she had what was called selective emotional detachment, which means she hates the touch of family members.

If her mom even tries to hold her and she gets angry, she doesn't like it when her friends say, I love you, we're like, hey, like being nice and gives her a present She gets angry but when strangers come around she loves talking to strangers So it she has this weird emotional detachment to the people that are closest to her and she said, you know I need to be like this girl in this moment because I need to love via known more than what I know And so she's like trying to do all of that But she ends up having a panic attack and passing out, right?

Now when she wakes up in the hospital, we get to another flashback of what happened in Vermont. So Olivia was really pissed off about the divorce news, and she ran out of that hotel room and ran into the lobby, and you know, the parents were running after her and she's like, fuck you guys, right? And then the parents, you realize that obviously their relationship was not great because they just told their kid that they're getting into a divorce and they end up having another argument of like, how did she learn that word? Where did you, where did you learn the word? And they start, no, you say the word a lot.

And so they start arguing, Ed and Anna start arguing again. And they're like, you know what, okay, forget this. We need to think about Olivia. So Olivia is like, I wanna go home. I don't wanna be here. You ruin Vermont, I wanna go home, you know't wanna be here. You ruin for a month. I wanna go home, you know? She's acting like a typical what?

Like five year old, right? She's like, I wanna go home. And so then they're like, okay. So she goes up to the receptionist and she's like, hey, is there a storm coming? We heard some news about a storm. And she's like, the winter storm should be coming, like maybe in a couple hours.

No heavy snow fall till then, but I don't know. Winter storms are kind of unpredictable. And she's like, why are you thinking about leaving? And Anna's like, I don't know, maybe. And she's like, well, if I were you, now's the time to leave before it gets bad. So then she's like, okay, let me just pay my bill. And she goes upstairs, packs the bags,

because Olivia refuses to go back into the room, kids these days, and you know, Ed stays downstairs with her, and they get into the car and they start driving. And now she's back in the hospital. And there's a detective there, but the name of Detective Little, who's sitting there and he's like,

hello Anna, like what's going on Anna? And so she's like, what's happening? And he's like, do you know how you ended up here? And she's like, yeah, I mean, I know I'm really on drugs right now. And you probably know that, because they take talks, you know, talk-sevels, she had done lots of pills.

And so she's like, I don't really know. I think my neighbor was stabbed. I went to go find my neighbor. And he was like, we found you completely unconscious in your bathrobe. In the middle of like this tiny little park with an umbrella Just don't brother hanging out and he was like we didn't know if you're homeless or not like what were you doing in that park?

Why are we going conscious in a park and she's like well my neighbor has been stabbed okay? So I was trying to go to the park and he was like why did you faint in the park and she's like I don't want to talk to you about this like am I arrested I arrested? Like, she's just like being sassy, right? And so the doctor comes in and he leaves the room for a moment and she tells the doctor everything. I have a gorgophobia, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. She was like, I mean, the, the, what do you call it? The police officer is willing to take you home right now.

If you don't mind and she was like, yeah, I want to go home. I don't want to be here. You guys know I like being home. You know my medical condition. I want to f***ing go home, dude. And so the doctor is like, the only way you can go home and she's like, I know Do it and they're like we have to heavily sedate you because she can't be outside So they inject her with more drugs she gets into the back of the officer's car

And he starts trying to build a rapport with her He's like so like deep kids and she's like, yeah, but she's gonna live with me Yeah, I'm just kind of alone right now and she's like real sad and he's like, yeah, but she don't live with me. Yeah, I'm just kind of alone right now. And she's like, real sad. And he's like, it's okay. I've got some kids. They're really annoying anyway. It's good that your husband has your kid.

Blah blah. And she's like, whatever. And she's looking out the window. And she's like, dude, if I was not heavily sedated, I would scream so loud, seeing the outside world right now, that the glass on this police car would break. Like that's what she's thinking. Like she can't think anything of else of like holy shit. Like I'm so sedated I don't feel it but I know if I was in

the right space of mind I would flip shit. Like just looking out the window inside this car right now. And so she gets all the way home and he helps her up the stairs. And he's helping her into the house and she's like, thank you so much. And she's like, thank God. And he's like, do you mind coming back to the police station one day and like, maybe we can talk about the whole neighbor issue. And she's like, I'm not freaking going anywhere. Like, for, I don't care if you have a block party, I don't care if you have a party at the police station, I don't care if you're giving away the police for free. I'm not leaving this house ever again, right? And she's like nope, not a zilch. And he was like, okay, then can we come here and talk to you because we do need to take a statement.

This is a serious issue about your neighbor. And she was like, yeah, I don't care. Just bring him over. I'm not leaving this house. And so detective Lidl is walking around in her house. And he kind of is noticing all of her wine glasses and all of her wine and you know she's got like this entire shelf near her coffee table just filled with her prescription bottles and you know all the movies and she sees the cat and you know she's like no but it's just me David and the cat and you know I'm separated with my husband it's yeah it's just me and the cat I guess because I don't really talk to David either and so then she's like you know maybe I should start cleaning and he's like yeah my partner is gonna come over so we're gonna ask you about that

911 call and she's like okay well she starts cleaning a little bit and putting away the pills that were scattered everywhere and he goes no I think you should leave the pills and she's like why why should I leave them and he was like I think we should all see what kind of state you were in when you made the call. And she's like, who's we? In the doorbell rings. The doorbell rings to one female cop by the name of Detective Val, right? And she's a real sassy bus.

Um, she's the bad cop. She's really mean, honestly. She's like super mean. Like Detective Little is like a little bit. And she's like, the bad bitch, big bits, like bad bits. Like she's kind of mean like detective little is like a little bit and she's like the bad bitch big bits like bad bits Like she's coming okay, and so she walks in and she's like looking around and like Right and then all of a sudden Alistar walks in and she's like what's allister here? And they're like you need a calm down and he's like why is he here like to what happened to your wife? You better tell the pop out what you did your wife bits bitch. You know and she's all like calm down detective. I was like you need to take your ass to seat because you're a

Kuku dude and so she's like she's sitting and detective. I was like, I don't want to do this anymore But nothing happened. We went to the crime scene nothing happened. There was no woman that was bloody There was no blood on the window. There was no murder weapon. There was literally no scene at all And she's like you are crazy and And she's like, you are crazy. And so she's like, no, you crazy. Like, I swear, I saw it. Like, ask him. He's evil.

And Detective Val is like, let me just, let me just do this. And so she pulls out her phone and plays the 911 recording. And even in the heavily sedated state that Anna was in, she realized how drunk she was in that call. She's like, well, no, it's gonna start. Like she's slurring her words. It's just not a good look. And then the 911 calls stops and she's like, well, anyways, I'm not crazy. It happened. And the police are like, we talked to the doctors at the hospital. They said that all the medication neuron causes you to hallucinate and she's like I wasn't hallucinating I saw what I saw and it happened they're like okay well they also told us you had a really high alcohol level like three

times the legal amount and she's like listen I saw what I saw I wasn't drunk it freaking happened saw I wasn't drunk. It freaking happened. Well did anybody else see it? I don't freaking know, but I saw it. What about your tenant, David? No, he didn't see it. He wasn't even at home, but I saw it. And Detective Al was like, well here's my theory.

Maybe you think you saw it, or maybe you didn't. Maybe you got really drunk. You took these medications, you were watching a creepy movie, and your family, your friends don't really call you anymore, and so you thought, why don't I get some attention? Maybe that will get my family back. And Alistair was like, yeah, my son tells me your divorce,

and she was like separated, there's a difference. And so then she was like, maybe you just wanted that attention from your husband again, and you called and you said, oh my God, I witnessed a stabbing or whatever you witnessed. And you just did it for attention. And she's like, Oh my God, like you're an evil cop. I didn't do that. Why would I do that?

I'm not crazy. If I did that, why didn't I do that yesterday and the day before this? My first time ever doing something like this. What are you talking about? And then Alistair goes, here's the thing, my wife's been out of town and she's never even met you. And she's like, are you kidding me? She came here twice.

First time she helped me because I had a panic attack. Second time, we had wine, we drank, we played chess together, and then you came looking for her. You fucking came looking for her. And he's like, no, I came looking for my son. And he's like, you fucking liar. And he's like, but you also told me no one ever stopped by.

And she's like, I lied because your wife is scared of you. Okay, you're scary and you stabbed your wife. Anyways, we played chess together and she came and you made her scream that night. And I called you and you said you didn't hear a scream But you're lying and then the cops are looking a little bit confused They're like what's cream and he's like nothing there literally was no scream and so they're like okay Do you mind just getting Jane Russell like if that would just help clear things up? Maybe we can have a word with Jane Russell and figure things out

So then she's like yeah, go get your freaking wife. Let's see how her stomach's doing So then he's like okay, so then he makes a call and then income's Ethan and his wife and he says, detectives. This is my son Ethan. This is my wife Jane Russell and Anna looks up. I have never seen this woman in my entire fucking life. She's like, who the fuck? You are not Jane Russell. I met Jane Russell. You are not Jane Russell. You hold and she's like, who the fuck? You are not Jane Russell! I met Jane Russell. You are not Jane Russell, you hoe. And she's like, I fucking know Jane Russell. I hung out with Jane Russell and you ain't Jane Russell. And she's like, what are you talking about?

Detectives, do you need to see my ID? It's... Ma'am, this is Jane Russell. This is their son Ethan. You just had too much to drink. And your medication, they caused you to hallucinate, okay? She's like, oh my god. This is a this is a copycat. She's an impersonator. She's an imposter. They're like, oh my god Is there's like what what what what would I lie like this is my fucking wife like what why would I just how would I even get someone to pretend to me right when the cops are like

It's okay, Mr. Russell? It's okay. Ma'am, you've been hallucinating, okay? And so she starts freaking out, they're just accusing her of being hallucinating. And then she goes up to Ethan, who's sitting on the couch, petting the cat again. And she's like, Ethan, even tell them, sweetie, that's not your mom. Tell them, sweetie, that's not your mom. And they're like, ma'am, can you back off the kid, please?

Tell them, sweetie, that's not your mom. And they're like, man, can you back off the kid, please? Tell him, sweetie, that's not your mom. And he says, you've never met my mom. But that was enough for Anna, because Anna's a child psychologist. And she knows when a kid's lying. She knows it's the looking away, not making eye contact, picking at his nails, swallowing. But she also knows the signs of fear.

He had a clunched jaw. Why was Ethan scared? And why would he lie? So then the whole family leaves. The Russell leaves and she's like, what the forks going on, right? Detective Val is like, first of all, it's a criminal offense to make a false 911 statement.

So next time you do this, we're putting you in jail. And she leaps, she's real mean. She slams the door. Detective Liddle, on the other hand, says, we're putting you in jail. And she leaves, she's real mean, she slams the door. Detective Little on the other hand says, listen, here's my number, call me at any time. Just take care of yourself, okay? And it seems like he was worried about her, just kind of seeing the situation of her house.

She was super drunk, just like, she's obviously going through some shit. I think he had talked to the doctor about her agoraphobia because that's how he got her into the car and he knows all these things. And so I think he has so much more sympathy and so they leave and she's like, you know what? This is it. So she calls Bina, which is her physical therapist

that she's kind of friends with. Asked her to come over and tell her the whole story about the scream, about the, you know, the thing and she's like, okay, well, did you talk to Dr. Felding about it? And she's like, I'm not being delusional, but I haven't. I'm gonna talk to Dr. Felding

and I'm gonna talk to Ed later. And so then she's like, okay'm not being delusional, but I have it. I'm gonna talk to Dr. Felden and I'm gonna talk to Ed later. And so then she's like, okay, but are you sure? And she's like, I swear, and she's like, I know that's not Jane. I met the real Jane Russell, and that's not her. So they're like, I mean, it's like, we've got the internet. Let's go online. So they start searching online, and they again,

cannot find anything about Jane Russell. They can't even find anything about Ethan Russell. Like, he didn't even have a Facebook. And Bina was like, you don't think that's weird? And she's like, well, I mean, the parents are strict and he's homeschooled. So maybe that's why. But I swear, something's wrong with Alistair. He's, and you know, Ethan is scared of his dad. I know. I don't know who that woman is, but it's not Jane Russell. And so Bina's like, okay, well, wait a second. If you're sure, then aren't you in danger? Because you must have witnessed something

that Alistair doesn't want you to know? And she was like, holy f***. Can you please stay the night? So then she's like, okay, so she stays the night, leaves the next morning, and then she's talking to Ed. And she's like, can you believe it? And he's like, wow, that's unbelievable. And she's like, you don't believe me.

I know you've been on a lot of different medications right now and I know you believe it. And she's like, I can't believe you don't believe me, Ed, what the fork? And he says what he always says when he has no idea what to say, which is, did you talk to Dr. Felding about it? And so she's like, okay, whatever. So she freaking hangs up and she's like,

don't tell Olivia. And he's like, obviously I'm not gonna go tell my kid that you fucking saw someone get stabbed. And he's like, but just please, make sure to talk to Dr. Felding about it. And she's like, okay, so she hangs up. And she's like, I should have photographed this. Like I should have, why didn't I take a picture?

Nobody freaking believes me. They all think that I'm this delusional lady. And so she's like, I was watching them, but my whole thing is I didn't want to take a picture. I just wanted to save her. I mean, I wasn't trying to document it. I was trying to do something about it. And she's like, man, what do I do?

So she starts watching them again. Now, Alistair had just gone home from work and he was hanging out and then Ethan's on the computer upstairs and she's watching them through the camera and James in the living room, fake Jane is in the living room. This new Jane that she never met before is in the living room and she's looking at her

and she's grabbing her phone and she's like, ooh, you're gonna call Jane, right? And then all of a sudden her phone rings. And so she's like, I'm just not a ring because I'm too busy watching them. And then the voice message plays because the landline it just plays any missed calls. And it says, I know who I am. Stop taking photographs of our house where I'm calling the cops.

So she puts down the icon camera. She puts the fake Jane. Yeah, the fake Jane. The nerve. The audacity of fake Jane has. She said, I know who I am. Like, meaning that she knows that I'm... Like who else are they photographing?

But it could also be taken in a different context. The small layer could be, you know, who else could you be photographing? She knows that she's fake J? Or that could be the deeper meaning. We don't know yet. And she's like, you know what? This is weird. David was there that day with the scream and all of that. And then it has me the way. Exactly. And so she's like, I know what, this is weird. David was there that day with the scream and all of that. And David has me the right. Exactly. And so she's like, I'm gonna go ask him.

So she was playing truss and she was drinking and that's when she was like, oh my god, I'm gonna ask David. So she goes down into the basement and the basement has like this own living room and a mini kitchenette and they never really see each other because of that reason. They don't even really share the kitchen together. So she ends up grabbing a spare key, which she had never done before. And the whole time that he'd been living there opens up the basement because he won't answer the door. And so she's like, I mean, this is really urgent though. So she starts opening up the basement, he's not home.

She starts walking around and kind of snooping around. And she's like surveying, there's condoms over there. Like he always has girls over, right? There's the girls jacket over there. And she's just surveying the place. And she's like, I mean, nothing of importance here. And then all of a sudden, as she's about to go back up stairs, David's in the door and he's just surveying the place and she's like, I mean, nothing of importance here. And then all of a sudden, Ashy's about to go back upstairs, David's in the door and he's freaking pissed.

And so David is like, first of all, what the fork are you doing in my bedroom? And he's like, she's like, less than I'm so sorry. It's just really important because like the scream and stuff and he was like, I already told you, I never heard a scream and I never met Jane Russell. Like I was literally in their basement doing furniture and I never met her.

It was literally, they let me in through the back and that was it. I'm just a workman, like am I supposed to run around asking like taking inventory of the family? And she's like, okay, okay, like maybe I am crazy. So then she goes back upstairs and her doctor calls her to kind of confirm that she's crazy because he's like hey Anna

Make sure you know mixing you that did you get the prescription you did okay perfect? Don't mix it with alcohol like he was almost like he didn't know how to say it like hey Don't be an alcoholic, but he says it right and she's like okay Obviously he knows I got a problem. Everyone knows I got a problem Do I have a problem and then she starts remembering the affair She logs back on and grandma Lizzie was active and grandma Lizzie messages her and she's like And she opens it up and it says listen, I'm so sorry sweetie. I don't I can't imagine what you think of me My internet shut off and it was the weekend and I couldn't get people to come fix it because I live on like this

Rulery of Montana and it took forever for the internet company to get my service backup. I don't want you to think that I was judging you. I mean, I truly understand. I don't want you to feel like just because I lost my husband, you can't feel these things, you know? And so she was like, oh, like, thanks. And they start talking and she's like, oh, well,

I'm kind of excited because my son's Bowen William are visiting and it's gonna be a lot of fun. I hope I can take a small walk around the farm with them, baby steps, you know, you know. And so they start talking and she doesn't tell them the rest of the story, but she thinks that she can't help but think about, oh, like looking up, the rest of the chat was about Vermont. So we get another flashback. They had packed all of their things in Vermont and they had gotten back into the car to drive

to New York City. And Ed was like, you drive. And so she hops up in the driver's seat, score a scar, and she's driving through the snow. And there really was not a lot of snow. So she was like, okay, this is great. So she drives driving, and she had her phone in the cup holder, and it starts ringing.

And it becomes really tense in the car. And Ed goes, guess who? And she doesn't answer. And he says, I bet it's him. And she doesn't answer. And he says, I bet it's him. And she doesn't answer. And he says, you can pick it up if you want. Totally fine. And she says, no, that's OK.

And he says, then I'll pick it up. And he reaches for her phone. And so she reaches back for her phone. And they start fighting over the phone. Olivia starts crying in the back. And she's like, why are you guys fighting over the phone? Like what's happening? Who is he? Like what is what are you talking about? And so then she's like so she grabs her phone and snatches it away and is like, Olivia it's okay. Calm

down and then Ed starts screaming and she looks up and they had driven off the road. So then she's thinking about it, drinking a wine and all of a sudden David comes home and he's like, listen, I want to talk to you, lady. And she's like, okay, like what's going on. And he's like, I went to jail for assault. She's like, what? He's like, I wanted to apologize for yelling at you about coming into my space. I just get really protective of my space now because I went to jail for assault. And not that type of assault, it was a bar fight, me and another dude. He had stolen something of mine. I fought him, I ended up in jail and then that was all imp and Connecticut moved to New York to start over and then I guess I didn't

mention it to you because you lived alone and I didn't want you to think like I was gonna do something to you. And she was like no, I get it. I mean it makes sense. It was my fault for snooping, that literally is my fault. And he was like, okay, and she's like, how do I tell him, like I'm really sorry, but I still want to talk about, like, did he ever meet Jane, right? And then all of a sudden, he starts kissing her,

and they start making out, and he carries her all the way up to the top floor, but he doesn't know which one's her bedroom, so they go into a different bedroom, and they do it on the bed, and then he leaves. And then she realizes it was an Olivia's room and she's like, fuck, and she's disgusted with herself. And she's like, what would I say? I mean, obviously, I'm not going to tell him, but I mean, this nasty. She was really disgusted by herself. And then I'm like, this strikes again. Stop cheating on your husband, bro. And she's walking out of Olivia's room and she

notices when she gets downstairs to her office that the door of the closet to her office is open. Now this is weird because when you're in a group of a big you close all doors and you know exactly which doors are always open which ones are closed even inside your house because that's part of your phobia and so she's like okay I am probably overthinking it so she walks up and she sees the toolbox right in the middle and she's like, okay, I am probably overthinking it. So she walks up and she sees the toolbox right in the middle. And she's like, hmm, and she opens it up. And it was the box cutter that she had given David. She's like, okay, I don't know why that makes me uncomfortable when he probably just put it back.

But it makes her feel uncomfortable all day. So he put it back without telling her? Yeah, which is just normal. Yeah. But it made her uncomfortable. And then all day she just walked around feeling uncomfortable, and then she realized, oh, that's why I feel uncomfortable. I remember seeing a pair of earrings on his nightstand, and they were pearls.

The same ones Jane's ex-boyfriend had given her that she was wearing. That's why I feel uncomfortable. So I just cut up some forever shares. We topped the brownie with them like this. And then because I'm a savage, I'm just going to take one bite from the middle to show you guys. Wow, it's gooey here.

You want a bite? Yeah. You can have it. No, you take the first bite. Don't drop it. You like it? Wow. Mmm, my gum.

Wow, so rich. Mmm, mmm. Wow. Mmm. Oh my gum. Wow. So good. Creamy, fadgy, warm. Ooh.

My teeth hurt a little. Make them. Of how sweet it is? Because we're old. So she ends up calling Alice Old Workplace. Alice is Old Workplace in Boston. And she says, listen,l's old workplace, Owl's old workplace in Boston. And she says, listen, I'm an old college friend of Owl's, an old colleague and I'm looking for Owl's turn. And they said, oh, I'm sorry, he's been terminated about five weeks ago.

And so she's like, is there any way that I can talk to like a former assistant? It's about something that we used to work on together, right? And so the receptionist is like, I mean, I guess, I mean, there's somebody else's assistant now but I guess I could transfer you to Alex and so she gets transferred Alex picks up the phone and Alex is a major gossiper okay so he's all like lesson yeah I mean it's weird because he was originally supposed to transfer from the Boston unit to the New York City unit and everybody loved him inside the office a New York love-tam Boston love-tam he was an amazing consultant and then out of nowhere he buys this

massive mansion and Harlem that he was like four million dollars. I looked it up on Zillow anyways, he buys it, and then he gets fired. It's so weird, and she was like, yeah, I mean I was calling because I was trying to reach Aleister, I heard he had gone to New York, and I live in New York, I'm an old college friend, I went to this and college as him, and I wanted to get some presents for him. I was gonna drop by the New York office to deliver the presents but I guess not anymore but I was gonna get some presents for his wife and I've never met her so I just don't know what kind of present would be good and he was like yeah I've never really met her either and so she's like oh really? Interesting and he's like oh shoot you know I have a box

of his stuff that I've been trying to ship to New York there's a picture of her in there let me go get it and so he gets it and she's like, oh well she's got this dark hair and she's pretty pale. So I probably wouldn't get anything like a like a thick scarf. I mean, you know, and she's like, oh they both have dark hair and they're both pretty pale. And so she's like, you know, it's just so I can get a better idea of like her color palette. Why don't you email me the picture of Jane and I can get a good scarf for her? How do you know Alice Sturiken? I was an old college friend. You know, maybe I shouldn't be giving out their information like this.

And she says, oh, that's totally fine. Anyways, what was your last name, Alex? And he hangs up the phone. She's being a real creeper, okay? So he got alarmed because... She wanted the Gmail with the picture. Oh my god, I'm kinda off-line. So good.

I'm like, dun dun. I'm just kidding. So she hangs up the phone and she's like, ah, this is so annoying. Like, why can't I figure out who the real Jane Russell is? And why is there a fake Jane Russell? And like, why is this happening? And she's looking outside the window when she sees fake Jane Russell get out of the house and she's walking alone and she's like, I got to fucking follow her.

I got to follow her when Alistair is not around. And I got to just drill her with questions. And maybe Alistair's threatening her. maybe she's being forced to pretend to be a this Jane woman that she's not what happens to the real Jane. So she gets her umbrella and she follows her. Now her way of thinking of doing this is to just close her eyes again and she makes it all the way and she opens up her eyes again after following like her shoes that she had remembered when she had stepped out of the house and she follows Jane into a coffee shop that she hadn't been in in a while because of her

agoraphobia like plus 11 months and she walks in and Jane was the first person in line. Now the coffee shop is interesting because it has this massive mirror behind it so all the baristas you can see what they're doing with their hands and you can also see the customers in the line and so she's trying to hide behind and she's watching Jane like this in the mirror because she can see Jane's reflection in the frickin mirror, right? Or so the priest says like, what can I get for you?

And she's like a skim latte. And she's like, okay, what's the name for this? And Jane looks up and makes eye contact with Anna. And she says, Jane. Ah. And she walks away. Now Anna goes up to her and has like, tell me where the real Jane is.

And she's like, your delusional, your psychotic. I'm calling the police, stay away from my family and she grabs her latte and she runs out of there and she runs out after her, but she had run away too quickly and she can't look at the sky and she can't look up and so she's freaking out, right? And she starts hyperventilating and she starts freaking out when she feels an arm,

like a hand on her arm. And it's the neighborhood boy by the name of Nick. Now he's like, let me take you home. Like you're going crazy, okay? So he's a teenage boy. She lives like in front of them, right? One of the boring houses I talked about. And so he's like, are you okay? Like Mrs. Fox, like I can take you home. And so he starts walking her home and she starts closing her eyes the entire way and she's just being blindly led home and they get to the front steps when she hears a voice saying, what are you doing? You're not supposed to be outside and it's Ethan and she looks with one eye and he was like, I can help her back up, it's fine Nick and so she he grabs her and helps her back up and now she's all alone again with Ethan and she says, listen,

what happened to your mom? What happened to your mom? And he says, no, you'd never met my mom. You're mistaken. My dad says you're confused. My dad says you're not right in the head. And she's like upset. She's like annoyed with this. And she just screams at him and she says, is your dad, is your mom dead, Ethan?

And he looks at her and he says, I'm scared. And he leaves. Now is he scared of her or is he scared of his dad? She interprets it as he's scared of his dad. So then detective little calls, okay? And he's begging her. He says, this is a detective little. Listen. I just got a call. You need to leave them alone. You need to leave them alone. This is not good for you. The rustles, they are very intense people. You don't want to mess with them. Just leave them alone. You need to leave them alone. This is not good for you. The rustles, they are very intense people. You don't want to mess with them.

Just leave it alone. I don't know what you saw, but you didn't see what you saw. And she says, you don't believe me, detective little. Like, you don't believe me. Like, I'm not crazy. And he says, listen, I believe you believe yourself. But I just don't. And he hangs up on her.

And now we're back to another flashback of the accident. So the car had been flipped upside down and her entire rib cage and her back felt broken. Her throat is on fire, her throat felt like it had been severed, right? There's glass everywhere, the airbags were all deployed and Ed is unconscious and she looks back in Olivia's like mommy, right? And so she's like, like, eggs unconscious,

I gotta do this all. So she drags both of them out of the car and she feeds both of them like bunch of like peanut butter jelly sandwiches and some drinks, right? And she tries to call 911 like eight times. There's no service and she starts freaking out and then she blocks out. And the one thing that we can get from this is that she kept talking about the sky. Like, you know, she's just, she would wake up in a hay is because she's blocking out and the sky would just be so big and it just feels so like the pressure of the sky felt so intense like there's nowhere to go and it's just there all the time

and it just reminds you how big the world is and it just was relentless it felt like the sky was torturing her right and it was so bad that she like ends up like howling and stuff Because like she didn't know how else to get help and that's how the park rangers found her because she was freaking howling like an animal Yeah, that's how the park rangers found her. Yeah, I digress anyways. No, we're back to the real life, okay? And we see this email that Anna gets and it popped up she was playing chess and it's an email and it came from guesswhoannaatgmail.com. That's the email address it came from. The subject of the email was Jane Russell and attached was a photo of freaking Anna sleeping in her bed.

There's no way it could have been taken from outside the window. This had to be taken from inside of her house. So she's like holy sh- like she calls the police, she calls detectives little, they say, okay calm down and we're on the way. Like how do you know this person's still not in your house, you know, and she's like, and so she's like hurry up. Now what does one person do when they think someone might be inside their house?

She's like I need a glass of wine because I can't handle myself. So she goes down into the kitchen, she starts pouring herself a glass of wine but because she's shaking so much from the fear, it spills all over her bathrobe. And so she takes off her bathrobe and she starts ringing out the bathrobes like this, right? And she opens the door and she's like, the blood won't get out, right? Sorry.

That's a true crime slip up, okay? The wine won't get out and so she's like, oh my god, what do I do? So she opens the drawer with napkins in it and she's like, what the fuck? And she sees the picture that Jane Russell had drawn drawn of her the the day that she came over to drink wine. Yeah. So she didn't imagine that. Yeah. Someone came over and drew a picture of her and it was signed Jane Russell.

So she's looking at this and she has a moment of clarity and she looks outside the kitchen window and even had just exited the town home right and so she opens up her window for the first time and she screams even and he looks and she goes I know and he looks at her and then just like this crazy lady you know like the crazy lady shake you know, like the crazy lady shaker, right? And he walks away. And this is when the whole shit shows about to start, okay? So she gets a knock on the door. Now, obviously we're assuming it's the police, but it's not. It's freaking Ethan. So Ethan comes over and...

Yeah, and he says, what do you mean you know? Are you okay? And she's like, no, I know your mom's alive and he goes, okay, um, sure, I guess. Like, he's just tired at this point. A lie. Yeah, and she's like, sure, I guess, you know. And he's all like, listen, I have proof. I have proof that your mom's not your mom.

Look at this picture. And he's like, oh, cool, I guess, you know. And she's like, that proves that your mom is not your mom, you know, it's a different mom He's all like okay, and so you just sit on the couch looking at it And I'm sure he's confused because it's like what how does this prove anything? He's like my dad says you're Delusional and it seems like he's having a hard time with this word like he had just recently learned this word right and She's like no just you wait hold on the police. You're gonna get here

I'm gonna show them that picture and then everything's gonna be settled. I met Jane Russell, then the doorbell rings again and this time it's the police and she shows them the picture of the Gmail first, right? She says, listen, this is the picture of them taking a picture while I was sleeping. Someone was inside my house.

I know stuff that I'm not supposed to know, AKA, Alistair Killed is white, right? And so she's like, what do I do? And so Detective Val is like, really? Let me look at this. And they say here's the first problem. G-Nail addresses, they hide their IP. So we can't just track it.

It's not that easy, right? And second of all, how do we know that you didn't take this picture like a little selfie, like a big caught me slip in moment? Like how do we know? And so Detective Val is like, I think you took that so that you would get more attention from your little husband and stuff like that, right?

And she's like, why would I take a picture of myself sleeping that doesn't make any sense? And then they're like, okay, well, are there signs that someone was in your house, did someone break in, did someone steal anything? Like, did you let somebody in, did you open your door to somebody? And she's like, no.

And they're like, so the only person who could have taken a picture of you sleeping with you, the cat and your tenant. Yeah, well where's your tenant? He's not here right now. And then that's when the third doorbell rings. And it's Mr. Russell. And he's screaming at Anna.

He says, my wife just looked at the window and you were screaming something at our son. What are you doing? I told you to leave our family a bone. And so then the police are like, okay, Mr. Russell, like we're handling it right now, like it's gonna be okay. And he looks at the police and he's like, did you know this woman's crazy? She calls my old workplace, she calls our home, she calls my son. I mean, she, she followed my wife to the coffee shop. Did she tell you that? That she stalked my wife to the coffee shop? And then she's like, oh, I can't do this anymore. So Anna grabs the picture that she had given Ethan, Jane Russell had drawn of her shoves it in Mr. Russell's face and says see I know your wife and as dad says Dr. or Mr. Russell says you don't know my wife you don't

know anyone you know you stay in your house and you watch people you don't know anyone and you invented this weird story in your head that you met who. You don't know anyone and you invented this weird story in your head that you met who you think is my wife which probably is nobody. It doesn't even exist. And you think that you met my wife. It's not even real. You're harassing me. You're harassing my son. You're harassing my family and you're delusional. And then the doorbell rings again. And now David's home. And David's like, why the fork is there a party in this house? Why the fork is there a police? What's going on? You know? And so he's looking at all confused and he's like, okay, well, I just got home,

so I'm gonna just head back down. And the police are like, hey, like what? Just have a little chat. The infamous David the tenant we haven't talked to you yet. So David, have you ever met Jane Russell? Nope. You worked for the Russell's though. Yeah, but I was just assembling furniture in the basement. Okay, did you hear a scream ever? No. Did you see the assault on Jane Russell? Nope. Nothing. This is weird, right? And then she's like, you're lying. Anna. Why? To David. He's like, why would I be lying? And she's like, you have Mrs. Russell's earring. You have Jane Russell's earring in your room. He was like, no, that earring belongs to a girlfriend. Well, not even a girlfriend.

This girl that I just saw for a night, her name's Catherine. Um, that's about it. She left it and she called her to give it back, I guess. What is going on, right? And she's like, don't believe him. And the police are like, it's okay. It's okay. You can just go back to your room or whatever you need to do, right? And she's like, don't believe him.

He's been in jail. He's a criminal. Oh, man. And so he looks shocked and everyone just looks disgusted by her because who says stuff like that, it's so bad, right? Yeah. And she's like, you guys believe him, but he's a criminal and I'm scared for my life and nobody believes me. Uh-huh. And she's like in the brink of tears.

And that's when Detective Little looks at her and says, okay, please have a seat Mrs. Fox or Dr. Fox. I know you're scared. I know it's really hard, okay? And you know, I talk to the hospital doctors and we all talk to Dr. Felding and we know that you don't get to go outside and you know your drugs cause these hallucinations, right? And you're all by yourself and I was worried about you, right? And you're all by yourself. And I was worried about you. Just, you know, you don't really have a lot of friends or family.

And I just, you're all by yourself. And, and she knew what he was about to say next. And she thought to herself, you know, at least it's detective little who's about to say it because his voice is kind and he's warm and he's nice to me And she's bracing herself for impact When Detective Val turns around and looks at her and says Turns out your husband and your daughter are dead

What? Detective Little holds her hand and says Your doctor told me everything, it's okay. So she starts crying quietly. They said they found you at the bottom of a cliff. Your car was flipped upside down, and you'd spent two full days just out laying in the snow, like you were half frozen.

You spent through hell. And that's when it all started. You couldn't leave your house. You didn't like this guy. Dr. Felding says that you sometimes hear them and you talk to them. Oh my God! And he says, I know the medications cause hallucinations where you think that, you know, maybe you thought they were still alive or maybe you didn't care but I need you to let this one go okay Jane Russell is fine and I don't know who you met but I don't

know if you met anyone but nobody's been hurt and she looks up and Alistair and Ethan look disgusted and shocked okay they're just like what the f*** right and David looks at her and he goes so the girl in all these pictures the husband you wanted me to keep the the basement clean for because he uses that as a workspace and he just left he walked out he was like I'm going dude and so he left out the front door and Alistair and Ethan walk out the front door. They're just like, oh my god, this is creepier than I thought, right? And then Detective Val, she's trying to be nice now.

She's like, there's a lot of people, a lot of good people who you can talk to about things like this and they can help you. And she leaves. And Detective Little looks at her and says, I mean, I get it. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost my kids, but call me if you need anything and he leaves.

And now she's all alone. And ever since the death of her family, she had never heard the words spoken like that. There's dead. And she looks around and she grabs her wine glass. And she brings it to her lips. And she throws it across the room to the wall and screams as loud as she can.

And she goes down a spiral. She realizes she imagined the whole thing. Jane was never real. She must have drawn this picture by herself. And then she hears Olivia saying, Mommy, and she says, no, I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this. You're not real. You're not real. She starts getting depressed. David ends up moving out. And she just becomes a zombie. She realized she imagined everything. I mean, think about it. Their birthdays were the same

day. Like, what the fuck? Like, she, she's literally crazy. She's almost grossed out by herself she like wants to throw up at how disgusting she's become and then she's like okay but what about that picture of the gmail she goes on to her iPhone it's in her photo role she took the picture she goes to her study and she's you know trying to play chess online and she's like I can, I can't believe I took the photo. I sent it to myself, like, how drugged up do I have to be? And she goes to Gmail and she starts typing in G, U, because you know how sometimes it auto fills if you had already been signed in before? And guess who Anna at gmail.com auto filled?

And she's like, holy shit, I sent this to myself. Disgusting! And so she goes and she tells Grandma Lizzy everything that, you know, her family died because she had an affair when she was married and she got into a car accident fighting over the fact that the person who she had an affair with was calling her phone and then Ed and Olivia died. She was out in the snow and that's why she can't go outside. And you know, Grandma Lizzy is like, oh, sweetie, it's okay.

You don't have to be ashamed and she was trying to talk to her and she was like, I just can't do it. And she logged off and decided she was never going back on a gorya, right? And she's disgusted with herself. She's just sleeping. Just nothing remarkable, taking meds, drinking some more alcohol. And then she notices that the cat's limping and she's like, like, this is how disgusting I am. Like, I literally haven't showered in three days I didn't even notice that I had a cat for the past couple days and now it hurts It's pop Right and so she's super frustrated and she's like how do I even? How do I get this cat ticket? I'm gonna ask Ethan to go get the cats Perfect maybe Ethan can help me if he's not so grossed out by me a couple days pass

Ethan comes over. He's all like how are you? Oh, punch. Oh, how's your paw, right? And she's like, can you tell him to the vet? And he's like, yeah, what happened? And they have that conversation. And he's like, are you okay? I just wanted to apologize.

I know we looked really shocked. We didn't know. And if I had known that you had been through so much already, I wouldn't have come to you with all my stupid problems about my friends in Boston and I'm sorry. And he says, but I have a phone now and you know, my dad's trying to be nicer, I guess, I don't know. And she's like, okay, well, I'm over it.

Like I'm delusional. I imagined your mom to be someone she wasn't. I'm sorry, I know now that it was... solved my mind. But if you ever need a place to stay here, you know, that's the key to the house, you can go into the basement and have like a little teenage boy room, I guess.

And he says, really? Like, I can bring my phone and play games, and she's like, yeah, do whatever you want. And so then he leaves, and then she's back in her study playing chess, and she's like, I'm just gonna drink and play chess until I die And so she's drinking again and she's moving and she's like I had spent three hours just winning winning winning winning winning When all of a sudden she lost because she had moved one of her ponds like the wrong way one of her pieces and the person who was playing chess with her online

Literally message turned was like WTF bad move. Oh, well, what's wrong with you? And she mess it back. Okay. Sorry. I thought it wrong with you and she mess it back okay sorry I thought it was the piece but it wasn't the piece I thought it was a different piece you get it anyways and then she's like wait a second a different piece she's like what if that is Jane Russell but that was never Jane Russell and she starts thinking and she's like oh my god

that that that was what if that's not Jane Russell? What if the person I met, I don't even think she's ever told me she's Jane. I remember saying, oh, you're Jane Russell. And I was so embarrassed because I've been stalking them. Why does that sound Jane? But that doesn't explain anything, because why wouldn't they just tell me that that wasn't who, that wasn't who? That doesn't make sense But how did she also know so much about the Russell's and I I feel like I saw her in that living room like I saw her face and

Remember she waived high So why was she in that house if she's not Jane Russell and so that night she's laying there and she's thinking about oh my god What if it was like a mistress and then they got caught and that the real Jane killed her because she's like, don't, my husband literally. And she's thinking all of these things and she's laying in bed. When all of a sudden she hears glass breaking in the kitchen and she grabs the box cutter and she runs downstairs and she's like, okay, I can't find my phone. How do I call 911, right? And she's like, okay, I can't find my phone. How do I call 911, right? And she hears a voice. Mrs. Fox, please join me in the kitchen. And she knows this voice.

It's Alistair. So she gets to the kitchen and she's about to turn on the lights when he throws a wine glass at her hand and says, keep the fucking lights off. And he starts coming up to her and he says, listen, you're a real creep, you know that? And he's like, I don't want you around my family anymore and she's like, I'm gonna call the police

and he's like, you're gonna call the police. Okay, here's your phone, call the police. What are they gonna do? They think you're a joke. They're probably not even gonna end up coming here. It's probably gonna take them three hours. He's wearing this big hoodie and these gloves and she's like, holy f**k, right? So she's holding onto our box cutter and she's like, I'm and these gloves and she's like holy f**k right? So she's holding

onto our box cutter and she's like I'm gonna I'm gonna hurt you and he's like okay sure and he's like I know you gave a key to Ethan and he tosses it on to the counter. Even if he weren't such a weirdo I wouldn't want him hating out around a grown woman and she's like that's what I'm embarrassing right? And she's like I'm gonna kill him and she's like I don't know what to do anymore so she's she's like, that's what I'm very saying, right? And she's like, I'm gonna kill him. And she's like, I don't know what to do anymore. So she's like, I know, I know Jane. And so she screams at him. Who was that woman? Who was that woman? If that wasn't Jane Russell that I met,

who was that woman? And he rushes over to her and slaps the box cutter away from her hand and starts choking her. And her vision gets blurry, she starts crying, she starts coughing, and he says, your delusional, stay away from my family, stay away from my son, stay away from us. And he slams her up against the wall,

and he says, remember this. Please, and he leaves. In the next morning, she wakes up up and she has bruises everywhere. She can't call the police, they don't trust her. She doesn't know what to do, so she turns on a movie, she's drinking some more wine, and she gets an alert on her phone that there's about to be a flood warning. And she's laying there, depressed, and she's like, holy shit, I just got choked out and I can't even call the cops.

And she looks at her phone and she's like you know what I'm just gonna I can't do this anymore so she goes to her camera roll and she's about to delete the picture of her sleeping because she's like I just need to get rid of this I need to stop looking at their house I'm just done with this I'm done with all of this I'm losing my mind and he just choked me and I'm I'm in danger so he delete she deletes the photo and then the last photo pops up and as a picture of the sunset and in the reflection of the wine glass is the woman she met.

Sitting there and so she calls Ethan immediately and she says Ethan come I know the truth and she's thinking about okay should I call the police first? No, I can't call the police first. I have to show Ethan this. And I know Ethan is scared of his dad, but once he realizes it's okay, we have proof to take his dad down. He's going to be on my team, right? And so she gets Ethan to come over. He comes over late at night and he's like, oh, like what's going on? Is his paw okay? Like is it about the vet? And she's like, sit down. I need and you show you something shows him the picture and he goes oh And she says who is that That's my real mom what you adopted and so he's like it's it's a really weird long story

That's my biological mom That's my biological mom. She gave me up when I was five. She did a lot of drugs and I was adopted by my mom and dad. And we wanted to move out of Boston because she kept following us in Boston and she kept trying to talk to me and my parents didn't want her to talk to me, and then when we moved to New York, she found me, and she came, and she said she's clean now, and she wants to have a relationship with me.

And so I told my parents, I told my dad first, that I'm gonna talk to my biological mom, because I'm almost 18 now, and I can do what I want now and he got really mad and he sat her in the living room and told her she's never allowed near me ever again and then my mom came home from Boston she was on a trip and you know my biological mom her name's Katie she thought that maybe she could just talk to my mom about it from like a mother to mother because my mom's nicer than my dad. And she talked to my mom,

but then I heard screaming. And my mom stopped Katie, my biological mom. And she wanted, she didn't want her to take me away. The biological mom told her legally that she was gonna, once I turned 18, that she was gonna take me and my mom didn't want that. So she stopped her.

And my dad and my mom, and I helped bury her in the backyard. Is that why you moved to New York? I thought something year, dad, yeah, my dad also got fired. I don't know. Something about his boss' wife. My parents were always fighting about it. And I think my mom went to Boston because she didn't want to be around my dad. What?

It seems like he had an affair with his boss' wife, you know? Yeah. And so my mom was really desperate to make sure nothing happened to me because I wanted. It's my fault because I wanted to meet my biological mom and I wanted to have a relationship with her and she didn't want that if I had just told my biological mom no. Yeah. So Anna's like, okay, you do know we have to go to the police, right? And he says, can I please just make them turn themselves in, please?

I just, my mom was just protecting me. Maybe if I tell them, the police that my mom was protecting me, do you think it's self-defense? I don't know, sweetie. You don't think that they'll, they'll think it's self-defense if she was just protecting me? I don't know, sweetie. You don't think that they'll they'll think itself defensive. She was just protecting me. I don't know. But I think you need to go to the police. Okay. Okay, I'll call you. I'm just gonna tell them. I'm not gonna tell them you know, but I'm gonna tell them I have to go to the police and tell them everything because I can't live this way Because she doesn't want her to get hurt Is he gonna go to the police? Yeah, like he's gonna tell the parents to turn themselves in because that's less of a sentence

Yeah, so she's like are you sure you're gonna be safe like are they gonna hurt you? And he was like they love me they literally want to protect me and so she's like okay So they hug and he leads to go turn his parents in. Like he was gonna go talk to his parents and have them be turned in, right? And so she's laying down and she's thinking about it. And she's like, holy shit. I thought I was allister all along.

And it's this random fake Jane that just killed Aka, what I thought was real Jane. Like it was her all along and she's so good with the police. She was acting all like, I'm sorry. I'm just Mrs. Russell and I didn't know what's happening. You know, like she's such a little snarky bit. I mean, oh my God. And she's laying there and she's like,

I wonder if they went to the police yet. And she's thinking and Ed is like, you know, are you sure it's okay for him to be just with his parents right now? And she's like, Ed, go away. I can't talk to you voices anymore, right? And then Olivia goes, well how's Punches Paw? And she's like, wait a second. When Ethan walked in the other day, I didn't tell him about Punches Paw.

He just thought about asking him to take him to the vet, but I don't think I have, I don't think I ever told him that punch as Paul was hurt. And where he's at? He said, how's your pa punch? What did he say that? Did I tell him? I don't think that I did. And she's like, I don't think I don't think that I did.

And she looks at her cat punch with a broken paw. And she's like, how did he know about your paw? And Ethan says, because I visit you at night. And she looks up and Ethan is standing in her doorway with a letter opener of her bedroom. And she's like, what the fork is going on, right? And she says, Ethan, I thought you went home. And she says, either I thought you went home, and he says, no, well, I did, but I came back.

You know, I come here a lot, and I have to tell you, out of all of the psychiatrists that I've talked to, you were the first one that hasn't diagnosed me with a personality disorder. Maybe you're not as good at your job as I thought you were. And she's like, what? What are you talking about diagnosed you with a person? You know, you kind of interested me though. There's something about older women. I don't know what is that in

salty? Is that insulting to call you an older? I mean, you are old, right? I hope that's not insulting. And he starts slowly walking towards our bed and sitting on the bed with the letter opener and his hand and he goes, you know, I used to do this with my dad's boss's wife, I used to visit her all the time at night, and one time she caught me and she acted like she didn't like it. There was a little bit of miscommunication. I liked her and she liked me, but according to all the adults, she didn't, which is a lie. She knew what she was doing. She liked me. And he says, you know, I've got a good idea. Why don't you try analyzing me? Why don't you do it?

It was gonna be fun. You can fix me. You can talk about my childhood. Come on, it's a little psychiatrist dream, my childhood. You want to know? And she nods. And he says, Okay, so I'm born to a heroine who's a little crack-horn. And all she does is drugs. I remember I was hungry a lot. She never told me who my dad was. That bitch probably doesn't even remember who my dad is. And her boyfriends would come over. They would kick me.

They would poke me with used needles. And then I got adopted. And I was just just as bad. I mean, nothing is good in life. Everything sucks, yeah? And she's like, okay, um, yeah, I, she's like, come on, fix me, then fix me. She says, okay, um, you, you like to hurt small animals.

Yeah, I mean, well, kind of. There's a lot of small animals that I hurt, but not Pong. I didn't hurt him because I wanted to. I hurt his paw because I'd come in here at night and like I said, I'm allergic and he would follow me around and I couldn't be sneezing and you hear it. That's why I hurt his paw. It's not because I want to hurt him. You like to manipulate people? Ugh. I don't like too. I have to. to manipulate people? Ugh.

I don't like too. I have to. Do you remember when I first came over, I had to cry twice in front of you to get you to realize that I'm innocent? It was so fucking hard. And then the scream thing happened. My mom came over and she was like,

I wanna get to know you. And I was like, get out of my life. And she wouldn't tell me who my dad was. So I started choking her inside the house. And my dad stopped me and you called and I picked up and I'd be like I'm so sad my dad's so scary And then you call my dad and my dad had act like everything was okay

You're really annoying aren't you you just kept calling and then the the stabbing oh my god I asked my mom I said you know you can you can stuck around my life Katie If you tell me who my dad is And she just refused. She said he's not a man worth getting to know and honestly, I don't believe her I think she's just saying that because she's such a whore that she doesn't remember which one's my dad She's such a drug addict and she doesn't even know and psych I don't think she's fucking clean And so she's like okay, and so he's like I heard her talking to my dad about how much she wants to get to know me and I just hate her. Just disgusting don't you think? Just a little crack

walk. So I got the letter opener and I stabbed her and I stabbed her again and then again, and then you fucking call the cops. So fix me, and she's, she doesn't respond. Um, and he says, does it help that at least I know what I am? And she says, a psychopath. And she said, but none of this makes sense. And as she's saying that, she feels her phone underneath her hip, right? And she's like, okay, all I have to do is call the cops right now. And so she's using her phone and she's trying to put in her passcode, but her sound is on. So she keeps coughing in order to pretend like it's not working,

right? And she has a pressed up against her leg and he's talking to her and then he looks down and he sees the glow under the blanket, right? And he goes, and she goes, and then he goes, I'm just kidding, I changed the game password. On her phone? What? Yeah, it was so easy. You told me your daughter's birthday, it was November 14th, or December 14th, Valentine's Day. And I knew that you were gonna use that as your passcode

because you told Grandma Lizzie that. What? He's Grandma Lizzie? Yeah, well, were her son's name again? Bowen William? Oh my god, you're pathetic. You remember her son's names? Yeah, I came up with those, like, in the middle of, you know,

doing homework. Like, it was fucking out of nowhere. Bowen William with her goofy ass names of those. Yeah. Then you told me about the passwords. And then you told me about how you were such a S**t that you killed your own family. And then so she's like trying to talk some tense sentence in him and she's all like listen.

You are loved, your parents love you, it's not your fault, your biological mom was a bitch and she broke you but you're not broke in, you can be fixed and at first she's like, oh my god, really? Really? Oh my god. And at the end he's like, my go off really really and at the end he's like okay shut the fuck up enough of this bullshit and he says I was thinking what do you think is gonna be better if you fall down five flights of stairs

or if you overdose I'm trying to think I feel like both are pretty realistic and no one would question it and I think it's kind of funny that no one would even know for like days that you're dead inside this nasty little house And so she's just like what the fuck and he's like okay Well, I think a fall would be more fun for me to watch Yeah, let's do a fall and that's when she's getting ready and She kicks him with all her might and then she kicks him in the face again and she starts running So first she runs downstairs to the next level down and then she's like,

okay, there's no way that I can make it out the door and Ed and Olivia are talking to her while she's doing this. So like get out the door and she's like, I can't fucking get out the door. And then they like get out the door and get the umbrella and get out the door and she's like, I can't make it and talk to me, he's going to catch up to me. And so she's like, what do I do? So he comes down to the bottom steps. And what's interesting is that because he's not an agrophobic, he hasn't adjusted to dark lighting. Like she's really good in the dark because she

lives in the dark right and so he's just like where are you and so she sees him and decides to run up all the way upstairs to the roof where everything was like leaking and right and so she runs upstairs and she realizes that before Ed had died they had started a little garden up there and now had become like a fling jungle just like holy shit and so she runs up to the roof, it's raining, it's pouring rain. She grabs these massive little shears, right? Like those gardening shears and she's like, I will f*** you out, kid, right? And so they start fighting and he's like, listen, you're going to either walk off this roof

or I'm going to push you off this roof right the f*** now. And he starts trying to strangle her. And that's when she says, no, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Your mom told me who your dad was. And he's like, you're fucking lying. You little liar. And she's like, no, that day when she came over, she told me and she keeps choking her.

And then she goes, he was an architect. And he loves old movies, back in white movies. And he calls her slugger. So she's just thinking of Ed. He's back in white movies and he calls her slugger. So she's just thinking of Ed and he stops choking her and he says he died. He died. He died before you were born and that's why your mom started doing drugs. She went off the deep end and he looks a little bit confused.

And so she decides to hug him and she's hugging him. And it seems like he's shaking, like he's crying. And she turns around as she's swaying him, fixing positions with him. And then with all her might, she pushes him onto the skylight. Remember the ancient skylight that needed to be replaced for shadowing? Yes. And he falls all the way down. Four flights. And he dies. Oh my god. She calls the police. And the police apologized to her. They believe her? Yeah. Really? Based on what. Based on what? Um, because Alistair confessed to everything and he was taken in as an accomplice. Apparently Jane had no f***ing idea about anything. Real Jane genuinely thought she was delusional.

So the two dudes never told her anything. Wow. And she is now back on Agora and she goes up to the rooftop sometimes. And that's the woman in the window. That's gonna be on Netflix. So I think Fox Studios produced it and then it was supposed to be in theaters, but I think Netflix bought it because, you know,

Corona. What is it coming up? No date yet. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I thought it was David. Me too. You thought it was David too, right?

And then you, at one point, I guess guess the Sun when the dad came in that night. I thought of the Sun What? Because that came in right after the Sun that means the Sun told the dad So I was like what why is the dad here and the dad didn't kill her or did the dad keeps staying staying away? Stay away, stay away, so I'm like no, you know what I thought? What? I thought that wasn't, that wasn't his, that wasn't his real mom. I thought that was the son's girlfriend. So the dad was killing the son's girlfriend somehow at first. And then I thought it was the son wanted to kill the girl and then the dad covering up for the sun. Yeah. Damn.

God damn! Yeah, this one is confusing. This one's very confusing. This one, honestly. Yeah, when did you see it coming? The house, the paw punch. I tried to play it off better, but in the book immediately when he says house your pop punch I was like Yeah, I tried to kind of smooth it around because I didn't want to give it up where I got it

But it was hard so you when you saw that line yeah, yeah I thought it was like a mistress mistress. So you didn't see that coming at all until that line. A little psychopath. Little psychopath have not been. I would say this one is probably it's funny because I feel like this one is much more unrealistic than even the lock every door book which is literally about an organ transplant hotel where they have a hundred and twenty six victims which honestly in my brain now that I'm saying I allowed, how does that even make sense? There's no way that that's realistic, but this one, I don't know if it was the way that

it was written, it felt a little bit more unrealistic than the other two books. Yeah, it feels unrealistic. Yeah, it just feels kind of like... A lot of crazy hallucinations. Yeah. A lot of people had a controversy over this book because it is so similar to a previous book that was written called A Girl on a Train. And it's become like a whole genre and I would say that I'm not really into this genre

of like an alcoholic, unreliable narrator. It's just not my favorite to read. I love the plot. I would probably watch the movies, but like to constantly hear about how much they drink, it's just not my cup of tea. Like I get it. You have to love mixing pills with wine. You don't even understand how many times, how many chapters I've wasted on that. What would you get at this book? Like a four or five. What? Which get this book? Like a 4 or 5?

What? Which is crazy because so many people love it. But it's just, I don't think it's just my, it was too much of a slow burn. It burns so slowly and then all of the last crazy action happens in like the last maybe 50 pages. The rest of it is just like, she's just like drinking my lawagan. I'm like, if I wanted to watch people drink, I watched a reality TV show, not readable.

Be it, so. So let me know in the comments, what are your thoughts on this one? Did you enjoy it? And what do you think of my Ferrara, Rysher, Fudge Brownie, that nobody gives a f-ing bout?
