Twisted Love

Over the phone, Alex assures his uncle that he will achieve his vengeance within a few months. After the call, Alex pulls out his burner laptop and opens his research on Liam Brooks. After Liam assaulted Ava at the gala, Alex has worked to have him fired and blacklisted. Liam is also hooked on drugs and has racked up several charges for driving under the influence, and it is only a matter of time before Liam is ruined for good. Alex gets a phone notification that opens to reveal a video of Ava and Madeline arguing beside a pool. Aware that Ava can’t swim, Alex rushes to Madeline’s house.

After Stella drags Ava to a party at Madeline’s house, she finds herself trapped in a pool room with Madeline. Ava recognizes Madeline as the woman she saw Alex talking to at the gala, an incident that consumed Ava with jealousy at the time. Now, Madeline insults Ava by listing all the reasons that Ava is not Alex’s type. Madeline also reveals Alex’s darker, unconventional sexual preferences. Angered by Madeline’s attacks, Ava pushes back, stretching the truth about her and Alex’s relationship to deflate Madeline’s attack. Madeline loses her composure and pushes Ava into the pool, and Ava sinks, convinced that she is going to die.
