Chapter 19 Summary

When Seth arrives, Dr. Steinbridge asks him to clear up the confusion around his relationship with Thursday and his other wives. Seth tells the doctor that it isn’t true and that he divorced Regina three years ago. Seth says that he left Regina for Thursday, and when Thursday says that he is lying, he tells her that he is only married to one woman.

The doctor tells Seth that Thursday believes he has two other wives, and Seth becomes flustered, explaining that it is a game the two of them play, a joke between the two of them about the time Seth spent away from her. He says he didn’t know she took it that far. The doctor explains that Thursday has a history of “delusions.” Unwilling to listen to what the doctor is saying, Thursday yells for everyone to leave the room. She tries to calm down and takes a short nap.

Seth comes back with her favorite takeout, and she asks why he didn’t tell the truth. He explains that the truth is that Thursday is very sick and that she needs help. He continues, telling her that after their baby died, she changed, and even though she doesn’t want to talk about it, she needs to.
