Pages 415-418 Summary: “Sadie”
The last entry is dated one year later. Sadie, her sons, and Imogen have moved to California, and they are all in therapy. Sadie’s therapist is going to try to reintegrate her alters. Imogen recorded the part of Will and Sadie’s fight when Will confessed, but she conveniently did not record the part about Sadie (or Camille) killing Morgan. This is not something they ever talk about. The family is on its way to healing.
Pages 415-418 Analysis
The final section (or epilogue) bookends the novel along with its opening prologue. The family (minus Will) finally has its “fresh start” on the West Coast, in California. While many loose ends are left untied, the focus here is on the reintegration of Sadie’s alters and the healing of the family as a whole. Along with Female Resilience in the 21st-Century Thriller, healing plays a part here. The proverb “physician, heal thyself” (Luke 4:23) can be applied here: Sadie’s earlier inability or refusal to pursue treatment for her mental-health condition left her vulnerable to Will’s manipulation. The entire family needs to be healed; Imogen was traumatized by her mother’s suicide, and Otto and Tate suffered from their mother’s untreated condition and their father’s criminality and death.
