The Writing Retreat

Alex rushes back to the cell, but Wren is not there. She decides to unplug the monitors to end the surveillance. She hears voices coming from upstairs: Yana’s betrayal has been discovered. Taylor is threatening to shoot her. Instead, Roza orders that Yana be locked in her room. Alex realizes that nobody knows that she is back in the house. It would be better to get some rest than to strike out in the dark.

After she wakes up, she goes to Yana’s room and releases her. When it becomes clear that Alex will not flee with Yana unless Wren can also go with them, Yana gives Alex the code to the key panel. Alex frees Wren from the cell. Before they can get out of the house, though, they hear shots. They travel back through the passageway to Roza’s room. When Alex looks out of the window, she sees Taylor dragging Yana’s inert body toward the garage.

Alex stays calm, even in the face of more death. She and Wren are hiding in Roza’s wardrobe. Alex feels compelled to confess that she did push Wren off the stairs on her birthday.
