The Other Mrs.

Otto is home sick and provides Sadie with information about Will that leads Sadie to suspect Will’s involvement in the murder. Will lied to Sadie about not having been in the house earlier in the day. Otto saw him digging in the yard. Other than the police, Will was the only one who knew that Sadie had found the knife.

Will decides he needs to kill Sadie and make it look like a suicide. He has some pills stored up for that purpose, and he will have her drink some wine so it will be lethal. He wonders if she has had her life-insurance policy long enough for him to collect in the event of suicide, then tells himself not to be materialistic. He calls Sadie a monster.

Sadie is finally starting to realize that Will was involved in both murders, but she is in shock that her loving husband could have been living a double life. She does not seem to realize that her life is in danger. The only reason she does not drink the poisoned wine he hands her is because her hands are shaking.

Will has been skimming money from Imogen’s trust fund. He gives Tate Benadryl so he will sleep, and now just has to wait for Sadie to drink the wine. He knows she has been looking up their finances and the connection between Morgan and Erin.

Sadie starts sipping on the wine, and although it makes her feel strange, she thinks it is just because she is so nervous. Her phone is out of battery, so she decides to call the police on the landline. Sadie is frightened of Will, finally realizing that he is capable of killing her, just as he killed Erin and Morgan.

Will is following Sadie around and sees that she is not feeling well. He needs her to finish the wine and contemplates forcing her to drink it. He tells her to stop using the phone. He says he loves his wife but believes it is her fault that he must kill her.

Sadie drops the letter opener she had stuffed down her pajamas for protection, becoming clumsy from the drugged wine. She no longer recognizes her kind and solicitous husband in the raging and condescending man in front of her. She is not sure whether to believe him when he tells her she was the one to kill Morgan, not him. They decide at the same time to go for the knives on the counter.

Will decides to strangle Sadie, which is intimate and involves physical labor. He again tells her this needs to happen because she cannot keep her mouth shut.

Will and Sadie engage in a violent and prolonged struggle in the kitchen, but Will is much bigger and stronger. As he is about to choke her to death, Imogen hits him from behind with the fireplace poker. Sadie rallies her strength to stab him, and the two women end the scene hugging and crying.
