Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Martha, wearing a scarf as a shrug, instructs Vivi to pull back her scope. To her horror, Vivi spots Pamela’s car approaching the house; she will be home in less than two minutes. Carson and Zach realize that Pamela is approaching as well, but Carson will not make it out of the house in time. Martha urges Vivi to use a nudge, and Vivi makes a phone call from Peter appear on Pamela’s phone. Pamela pauses to answer it, though she cannot hear anything, but this gives Carson enough time to leave by the back door. She heads straight home and goes to sleep, not needing a single sleeping pill.
Vivi goes back to the summer of 2011. JP told her he was leaving her for Amy. In therapy, Vivi and JP were told they both hold responsibility for the affair—Vivi had not made JP feel loved and reassured enough. Vivi realized that, over time, she had lost respect for JP because she had constantly been the sole provider for the family. She moved out and went on a 29-stop book tour across the country, missing the kids’ first day of school and Carson’s 11th birthday.
