Summary
Let me tell you another secret of the trade: It feels like sinking when I'm standing in one place. So I look to the future and I book another flight.
When everything feels heavy, I've learned to travel light.
Or,
Tim buys a couch. Jay is afraid of it.

Summary
Jay decides to retread his old film school memories and Tim bothers Jay into letting him join in.
OR,
"I think it might upset you." Jay pushed back again. His grip on the remote was knuckle white.
"It's a silent film, how bad can it be?" Tim picked up the remote and flopped against Jay's shoulder. Some stupid movie wasn't going to break him.
Jay sighed, relented. “Are you sure Brian never showed you this?” Jay asked softly. Tim glanced at him. Jay ran a hand through his hair and shrugged. “He took lighting class too and I know Prof. Minesinger really liked showing this. That's how I first learned about it. And…” Jay bit his lip, pressed rewind on the remote.
The TV stuttered, showed a man standing over a woman laying in bed, then a close-up on his face. He was holding a knife, a hungry, wild expression –
The man's face. That thing’s mask stared back at him. The makeup on the other man: pale white skin, the diamonds around the eyes, the lipstick, the exaggerated eyebrows.
The same mask he'd thrown in the dumpster.
“Cesare.” Tim felt something shift in his mind as he spoke the name. Something hidden in the attic, creaking down a ladder.

Summary
Jessica could run. Amy’s boyfriend has a gun and the weird Hooded Guy who she’s pretty sure kidnapped her aren’t people she wants to be around— anyone would run. She should run.
But Jessica is tired. And angry and confused and needs to know what the hell is going on because otherwise, she has a feeling she’s just going to get stuck in a loop like before.
Jessica stops the Hooded Guy from killing Alex, pointing out that he has answers. Reluctantly, he agrees to help her get them.
(Or instead of running after Alex pointed a gun at her, Jessica determines that she needs answers and as scary as the two guys in front of her are, she’s going to get them.)
