Why did Noah let someone walk up to him and stab him without


even turning around? I mean he had been fearful and paranoid and heard noises and he can't even just turn around and look down the hallway when he sensed something?

Also what were the muscle relaxers doing for him? Those are so pointless they don't do anything much unless combined with opiates or other drugs, were they trying to imply and addiction or a back problem?

I think he did it himself.

He was washing among the dishes a knife..... Short blade.

reply

Yeah, he was washing a knife just before. It looks like he had some sort of PTSD moment and grabbed his neck while still holding the knife.

It's wasn't a knife, it was a piece of glass, you could see it. I think it was a portrait of what happened to him in prison and that he's still paranoid about it.

reply

I'm not sure that someone stabbed him. Is it possible he stabbed himself?

reply

Yep, he did it to himself
