5. Episode 3 Recap

Alan meets Candace, Sam’s supposedly dead mother. He urges her to free him since nothing about this imprisoned therapizing is ethical or effective. But Candace remains adamant about keeping Dr. Strauss prisoner if it means helping Sam.

The Patient

In the next session, Alan brings up Candace and Sam’s abusive father and how Sam felt once he left. Alan shared his idea of family therapy with Sam, to which the patient agreed.

Alan urges Sam to think of Candace, to stop himself from committing another murder, thinking it would protect his mother. Sam agrees, but in the following session confesses he put Alan’s latest idea to the test and found himself still imagining every detail of how he would kill his latest marked victim.

Alan believes since Sam still managed to abstain from killing, the family bond might work after all. But later that night, to Strauss’ horror, Sam drags a tied-up victim and shuts him behind a closed door.
