The Other Mrs.

Mouse’s narrative starts becoming darker. Her baby guinea pigs are dead, most likely, as Mouse suspects, at the hands of Fake Mom. Mouse tries to become a nocturnal animal to protect herself, but Fake Mom is nocturnal at times, too. Mouse plays the statue game and goes camping with her father, but Fake Mom discourages the father-daughter relationship and begins picking on Mouse when he is not around.

Officer Berg shows up at Sadie’s office and wants to continue their earlier conversation about the Nilssons seeing her fight with Morgan. Berg shares information about women typically using weapons in cases of domestic violence rather than men. Sadie had believed the clinic scheduling would provide her with an alibi during her alleged fight with Morgan, but it turns out that she had left the clinic for several hours that day.

Officer Berg shares gossip that Will and Morgan were close and that there was even a picture of them together. Sadie pushes back and accuses him of leaving money in the Nilsson’s mailbox to testify against her, but it seems Berg is just a good friend helping the older couple pay their mortgage.
