Part 4: “Victims”

Part 4, Chapter 20 Summary: “Every Open Door Reveals Another to Be Opened”

That night, Mary doesn’t sleep well, dreaming of her former bullies and Eleanor. The next morning, she yells at Nadine’s dog, Chipotle, to stop pooping in her room. Then, Mary goes into the bathroom. She tells the ghost woman her theory that she is the reincarnation of one of Damon Cross’s victims. When she asks if the ghost’s name is Jane, the ghost rushes her, causing Mary to flee the bathroom in fear.

In a book about reincarnation, Mary reads about automatic writing, which is a way of channeling ghosts and spirits. She realizes that her journal may be an example of automatic writing, so she looks through it. She notices two names, Zepar and Azazel, which she recognizes as the titles of two of Eleanor’s drawings. Mary decides that she needs Eleanor’s help in deciphering this.

Part 4, Chapter 21 Summary: “Mood Swings”

At work, Mary sees a flyer about Nancy’s egg hunt. In the basement, Eleanor is in a great mood. She thanks Mary for telling her to show people that she has “use” and apologizes for how the night ended. As she looks at Eleanor, Mary sees flashes of Carole’s mangled face, but she brushes away the connection—Mary knows that Eleanor is innocent.
