How is it that...


Oscar is the only one who seems to have made the connection between Allison's disappearance and her daughter turning 4 years old, the age her son was when he died?

reply

Well they used to date. So he knows her pretty well.

Cole was married to her and suffered with her. It seems like he would have made the connection and cut her some slack.

reply

I don't think she deserves slack. You don't get a break from being a parent no matter what you are going thru. Meaning, she could have at least kept contact with her daughter while she was getting help. She didn't.

Actually she couldn't . Not if she was lock in the mental Institution on lockdown. They are not allowed to have anything that they feel they can harm themselves with or harm others with so she would not have a cell phone to call ,nor a pen to write with. However they are allowed visitors, and depending on her condition,and the place that she is at (some are like prisons) they are allow to make a phone call.

Having worked in a psychiatric hospital for 12 years before going to medical school, I know for a fact this is incorrect. While the floor is locked, patients are allowed to have pencils and even pens (depending on the level of concern). If she was suicidal, she would have been on one-to-one watch, which would mean a mental health specialist would be with her 24/7. From there she is upgraded to 15 minute checks and then 30 minute checks. I have never been in a hospital where they didn't have some time a day for writing because it is cathartic and important to the therapeutic process. This would include writing to family and friends. Also, there are call times during the day. This is time period where they are able to utilize a landline to call family/friends/relatives.

If she was in such a state for an entire 6 months were she couldn't make calls, they wouldn't have released her after 6 months.

I don't think it was stated that Cole didn't know. In fact, she said to him 'You know how hard it was for me...' or something along those lines. We were left in the dark, but it was insinuated Cole understood. That conversation with Oscar was important because it finally made it clear to us, the audience, why it was so hard for her.

Oscar always treads that line between being affable and creepily aware the other townsfolk's issues.

reply

He's an outsider looking in with a history will those involved. It's not so strange IMO

reply

I actually really liked Oscar in this episode, but....who is Jenny?? I dont remember her being mentioned before!??

reply

I don't know who Jenny is and I agree. This is the first time I've liked Oscar.

reply

Jenny must be Oscar's significant other, and I liked him too. He's always been in the grey area, floating to and from the darker to lighter sides.
I'll watch the episode again in about an hour, but if Joni's health scared Alison out of her mind, literally - especially around the anniversary of Gabriel's death - why didn't she take her to see a doctor? That's what I don't understand. She said she was sick for days and days, right? What kept her from doing for Joni what she wished she'd done for Gabriel?

"Leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet!"

reply

I think Allison is not dealing with a full deck so I can accept when she acts irrationally.

reply

Of course we could connect the dots that it's obviously his wife/gf

reply

I also wondering why no mention of Alison taking her to the Dr. I would think that would be the first thing she would do and insist she be admitted especially since she was sick for so long. Doesnt make sense.

reply

Allison does not at all strike me as someone who would do that. Allison escapes
