Chapter 56
Overview
Caterina calls Sue to alert her about a disturbing viral video apparently connected to their flight, which seems to show that one of Cherry's predictions may have come true. Though Caterina tries to downplay the situation, she urgently insists that Sue go through with the medical tests she had been putting off, signaling a shift from dismissal to genuine concern about the plane lady's predictions.
Summary
Sue is shopping for avocados at the supermarket when she receives a phone call from her doctor friend Caterina, who sounds unusually tense. After their dinner together, Sue had felt relieved just having the referral forms and had not actually gone through with the medical tests. She had started to dismiss the plane lady's prediction as absurd.
Caterina asks if Sue has seen a video that is circulating online. Sue has not. Caterina explains that the video features a girl who appears to have been on Sue's flight, and describes it as distressing, noting she's surprised it hasn't been taken down yet. While they talk, Sue's youngest son is also trying to reach her, and her phone buzzes repeatedly.
Sue asks directly whether someone from the flight has died. Caterina pauses and is briefly interrupted by someone at her office. When she returns to the call, Caterina downplays the situation, calling it silly and probably fake, comparing it to Nostradamus getting lucky. However, she urgently tells Sue to go ahead and do the medical tests, reversing any prior hesitation about whether they were necessary.
