The Woman in the Window

Anna cancels her scheduled appointment with Dr. Fielding. When Ed and Olivia try to engage Anna in conversation, she resists them. She takes several sleeping pills and rests.

When Anna wakes up, she is hungry, so she eats cereal and watches a film, avoiding Ed and Olivia. She falls asleep, but she wakes to hear her phone ringing. Wesley Brill is returning her call. They talk briefly, and Anna remembers their affair and the regret she experienced the night of the car accident. Wesley reminds Anna that she had not wanted to see him when she was in the hospital; she hangs up on him, feeling sure that he no longer matters to her.

Bina arrives for Anna’s physical therapy session, but Anna turns her away. Bina explains that Dr. Fielding has told her what happened and that he has spoken with the detectives. Anna decides to cancel her French lesson the following day. Anna opens the door to David’s apartment, and when he appears, he tells her he is leaving. Before he goes, he asserts that the earring belongs to a woman named Katherine, not to Jane Russell.

Anna accepts that she has invented the whole story; though she cannot remember taking the picture of herself, she accepts that she must have been the one responsible for both the photo and the invented gmail address.
