As Gaskill interviews Rachel, she begins to see how the different parts of the night are connected: her impulse to go visit Tom placed her in Megan’s proximity. And because Rachel can’t account for what happened that night— she only vaguely remembers fear, violence, and isolation—it’s not impossible that something went terribly wrong on Blenheim Road. Her unsteady demeanor, and police reports from Tom and Anna, no doubt make the detectives suspicious of Rachel—they see her as a deviant in terms of how women in society are expected to act.
