We learn a bit more about Noah’s tormentor

We open with our very first Juliette perspective.

This means, in my mind, that Cole got right skipped over.

This does not hey me.

We see her pouring over textbooks, going a little Da Vinci Code, looking for clues.

Shes friendly to the librarian as she tells him she has a dinner party.

She goes so far as to lie to a couple of students about what it is, too.

Thank you, show.

(She doesnt say sleeping.)

And this is heartbreaking!

(I will spare you all my thoughts on him living in Livingston, N.J.).

She gets into his place and finds him bleeding everywhere.

And I mean everywhere!

She gets him into an ambulance and sits dazed on the curb while covered in blood.

Her daughter calls and she doesnt say much except to agree.

NEXT: Gunther is explained, sort of…

He tells Noah they met at swim meets back in the day and hes been following his career.

There are someMiseryshades in here, and Brendan Fraser does an excellent job of treading that creep line.

Back in the hospital theres a totally over it doctor who tells Noah his wife has been anxious.

Afterward, he tells her she can stay if she stops talking.

She tries to hold his hand, and he pulls it away.

Noah, I dont want to be mad at you while youre injured!

Another prison memory: Hes writing letters when freaky Fraser shows up with a six months in jail present.

Its a typewriter that looks more suited for Magneto, but Noah is delighted and thanks him sincerely.

They ask about Cole, about Alison, and they seem to know an awful lot.

Noah finally begs the nurse to get them away.

She changes his bandages while she explains why she was the one who found him.

He sits on the bed and they start to make out because: Noah Solloway.

Even a stab wound cant keep him down!

She sexily teases him about being a murder suspect and slips away.

Noah lies down and remembers more like how his arm was injured.

Then he taps a picture of Alison on the wall and suddenly starts being sort of strict about rules.

Noah fights for his photo, and Gunther twists the holy hell of it behind Noahs back.

It is really scary.
