Chapter 6
Contains spoilersOverview
In the middle of the night, Millie wakes in the attic room and believes she has been locked in. With no phone signal, her panic triggers memories of imprisonment and suspicion toward Nina. The door eventually opens—just stuck—but the episode deepens Millie’s unease and distrust of the household.
Summary
Millie revels in sleeping in a bed instead of her car, appreciating the nearby bathroom and the sense of normalcy. Exhausted, she quickly falls asleep on the attic cot.
Waking at 3:46 a.m., Millie is disoriented before remembering she is at the Winchesters’ home. When she tries her door, the knob will not turn. Panic surges as she recalls the scratch marks on the door and fears Nina has locked her in, echoing her past incarceration and vow never to be trapped again.
Reaching for the phone Nina gave her, Millie finds there is no signal and briefly considers calling 911. With only a tiny, sealed window, she feels isolated and imagines the Winchesters targeting someone no one would miss.
Trying the knob again, it suddenly turns and the door swings open. The door was merely stuck, not locked. Though her heartbeat slows, Millie cannot shake the unease the incident provokes and wonders if she should leave while she still can.
