And as she insisted on going to stay with her parents, I began to fear the worst, feeling Philip might became trapped himself, knowing he couldn’t let her go and thus be forced to cross yet another line and kill her to silence her. Instead, he tried one last Hail Mary pass, removing his wig, and apparently about to get really truthful with her. Will it work? We’ll see. But Martha’s old life is gone now, one way or the other.
