'We both know he put you in those handcuffs way before Gerald did.' 'If we don't tell your mom today, we can't ever tell anyone,' Tom warned Jessie. 'We both know you've been sleepwalking since you were 12 years old,' Jessie's alter says. She's gravely injured, but she's free.īut it all goes back to that summer of the eclipse. You're only made of moonlight.' Bleeding profusely, Jessie manages to drive her car to the nearest neighbors, crashing it before passing out. His bag of bones is open and Jessie puts her wedding ring inside, saying once again, 'You're not real. Her path out of the house is blocked by the Moonlight Man, who she still thinks is a hallucination. But nothing has been easy for Jessie, ever. Jessie pulls her mangled hand out of the right handcuff, wraps her bleeding hand with pads, and grabs the car keys. Jessie also realizes she exchanged her father's handcuffs for those of her abusive older husband. She'd been handcuffed to and by her father once he made her complicit in his abuse and what she would need to do the rest of her life to keep that horrible secret.

After a few blissful sips of water, a dehydrated Jessie, overloaded with adrenaline and cortisol - still listening to the stray dog chomping on her husband - passes out.Īs she smashes Gerald's water glass and begins slicing through the skin on her wrist and up into her palm in order to remove skin and slide out of the handcuff, Jessie later comments on the realization she made while doing so: She's been living a metaphor ever since that summer of the eclipse. Jessie's alter reminds herself that the real Gerald left a glass of water on the shelf over her head, and when she can't reach it to her mouth, Jessie's alter points out the tag she pulled from her slip that she can make into a straw. To counter this horrible hallucination of her cruel dead husband, another version of Jessie appears, a stronger version that goes head to head with ghost Gerald and tries to help Jessie rescue herself. Ghost Gerald admits to having hurt her often and on purpose, as Jessie realizes what would have actually happened to her in that bed had her husband not keeled over. 'I'm pretty sure you just lost your mind,' Gerald's ghost laughs, and calls Jessie out for always disassociating whenever conflict appears. Jessie's next visitor is Gerald's ghost, who taunts Jessie horribly, saying cruel things about what a pushover she was and revealing what a true sociopath he'd been while alive.
