Was she really banging the doctor?


Obviously the doctor was going for it, and she certainly didn't keep proper boundaries. But she did seem pretty oblivious or trusting. In the movie they leave it kind of ambiguous but maybe in the book we find out?

Her overcaring nature was obvious that she was cheating. I mean yes they were married but she seemed like she was going overboard with trying to please Billy sexually. I think that was a cover up because When Billy was getting a blowjob from his wife while driving it Billy's facial expression seemed like "You've never done that before." I think a person who's been married for a number of years would be curious to know why their spouse is doing new things out of the ordinary.

I definitely think that she was cheating on her husband with Dr. Mike. The way she acts, the clothes she wears around the Dr. Definitely a cheater!!!

That doctor sure was at their house a lot when he was out to work but she was there--Mr. Halleck was always catching sight of the doctor's dark-brown Porsche parked just outside their front-door. Were they always just discussing her husband's health over cups of tea? I doubt it.

I'm quite sure she wanted her husband out of the way so she could stay with Doctor Mikie instead for her new husband or whatever.

I think yes, she really was banging Doctor Mikie hehehehe

I had gotten done watching this hours ago. There was a part when Dr. Mikey was over and when Heidi was going to the phone, it looked like she was pulling up her pants. I wouldn't doubt if she was messing around with Dr. Mikey.

All I need is one mic...

You had gotten done? I see that grammar isn't your strong point.

i thought it was pretty obvious she was banging the Doctor, yes.

I really wasn’t sure. I leant towards the wife being innocent, but the new ending with the doc showing up in the morning seemed suspicious.

Genuinely inconclusive, which makes the ending all the more horrifying and tragic if the affair was all in Billy’s head.
