Maeve Fly

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of sexual content, rape, graphic violence, illness, substance use, and cursing.

Maeve tries to distract herself, but all she feels is rage over Hilda telling her that she needs to let her grandmother go. She also can’t stop thinking about the fact that she will be alone forever once her grandmother dies.

She takes out her phone to call Kate and finds that Kate’s brother put his number in her phone when she dropped it at the party. She hesitates, then calls him, deciding that she needs a “distraction.”

Maeve wakes up to a lot of blood in her house. She realizes that it is coming from her grandmother’s cat, Lester. She takes him to the vet. While she sits in the waiting room, the hospice agency calls. Maeve tells them that she is not interested in continuing to work with them after Hilda vanished and asks them to forward her grandmother’s records.

The vet comes out and calls Maeve into his office to look at x-rays. Maeve can clearly see the outline of Hilda’s finger in her cat’s stomach. The doctor tells her that Lester the Cat will be fine after surgery but that Maeve should not let him wander outside anymore because of the strange things animals find out there.
