deana everett | 124 comments Theo’s man and Alicia’s man are similar. They don’t see their faces, can’t completely clearly describe them. Are either of them real?

Who tried to kill Alicia? It makes sense that it was Christian but it could have been Yuri—something is off with him. It could have been Diomedes but I don’t see why.

How long has Jean Felix been there? Did he do it?

OMG!! I was right!!! It was Theo. I knew there was something more to his obsession, that there had to be something that connected them from before. But now I have new questions. Does he know he killed Gabriel? Why did he let her take the fall? Why was he punishing her? Was he trying to help her out of guilt?

You were right!! That makes all of this more plausible for me. Being Alicia's therapist was the last thing Theo was acting as. He essentially put her there no matter who killed Gabriel.

Krystal (krystalhobgood) Oh. My. Goodness.

Okay, so let me get this straight in my mind. Theo was the man watching Alicia. He was watching her in an attempt to get at Gabriel, who was having an affair with his wife Kathy.

Well, I felt certain from the start that Alicia did not kill Gabriel, so things are starting to add up at least. This is just all pretty crazy.

I was so relieved to see Theo's gross ethical violations explained. Not that he's excused but I was having such a hard time understanding why he was so driven to dive into Alicia's life outside of their sessions.

Me either! I don't read a lot of thrillers so I wasn't really looking for the twist but wow, this was crazy.
