Faren is with the girls, who are patching her up from her injuries that she sustained at the hands of Bloody Rose. The atmosphere in the room is tense yet filled with camaraderie, a sisterhood solidified by shared danger and mutual care. The girls meticulously clean and bandage her wounds, their hands steady but hearts racing from the adrenaline of recent events. They make a pact once again, a solemn agreement that if the phone rings, they will answer it together, standing united against whatever threat may come. The ringing phone has become a symbol of impending dread, a harbinger of chaos that they must face as a single entity.
As they work on Faren, the girls fill her in on what happened during the time she was attacked. Each girl recounts her perspective, piecing together the fragmented events into a coherent narrative. They all realize that if they were with Rose Waters, then she cannot be Bloody Rose, a revelation that brings both relief and confusion. The timeline doesn’t add up, and this inconsistency gnaws at them, adding another layer of mystery to their already complex predicament. They also inform her of Dr. Sullivan’s connection to Rose, a relationship shrouded in secrecy and suspicion. This revelation is like a spark to dry tinder, igniting a blaze of anger and betrayal among the group.
Pissed off, they all decide to stop seeing Dr. Sullivan, except for Imogen who wants some answers. Imogen is determined to uncover the truth, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a desire for justice. She meets with Dr. Sullivan, who remains tight-lipped, citing that all her dealings with other patients are protected under client privilege. However, Imogen suspects that there is something more to it, a hidden agenda or concealed knowledge that Dr. Sullivan is withholding. The doctor’s evasiveness only strengthens Imogen’s resolve to dig deeper and expose whatever lies beneath the surface.

Christian notices that her boss is visibly upset, his demeanor shifting from irritation to anger.
