The Other Mrs.

Sadie returns home while Will and Otto are at the Lego event. Imogen has installed a lock on her door to prevent Sadie from snooping in her room again. After saying hello to Otto, Sadie notices that a light is on in the attic. This is where Alice died, and the children have been told to stay out.

Sadie acknowledges her bad memory, then remembers her terrible roommate, Camille, who used to wear her clothes and return them wrinkled and reeking of cigarette smoke. She also snooped through Sadie’s things, even after she moved out. Sadie wonders now whether she imagined this.

She also remembers meeting Will at the engagement party and how he used a “cheesy” pick-up line: “Hey there. I think I’ve seen you before” (179). She recalls all the terrible things leading up to their move from Chicago, including new details about the ER incident that led to her resignation. She left in the middle of a medical procedure and was found on the roof by colleagues, who were convinced she was going to attempt suicide. She chose to resign rather than undergo psychiatric evaluation.

In the attic Sadie finds Otto’s expensive pencils and some drawings, but they are violent and disturbing images rather than Otto’s usual anime.
