1995

  • We watch Jeannette a year older on her birthday discussing Kate's accusations with her family and lawyers, and vehemently denying them. By this point, the case has received national attention and Jeannette has become despised around the country, unable to show her face anywhere without being ostracized. Jeannette's lawyer suggests that she attempt to be more likable to get people on her side, a suggestion Jeannette balks at.
  • Despite garnering public sympathy, Kate has become withdrawn and rebellious and when he finds out Jeannette is suing her for defamation, she has a breakdown. During the annual hunting trip, Kate reminds her family that they're responsible for leading her into the lion's den, so to speak.
  • It's still difficult to know who is telling the truth. Kate privately reveals in an online chat — to her stepsister, unbeknownst to Kate — that she hasn't been honest about something. Jeannette confides in one of her old friends that she broke into Martin's house many times.
  • One of the big twists comes when Kate's listens to her 1994 therapy sessions, to piece together her memory. Kate hears herself telling her therapist that she met a girl named Annabelle the day she was rescued. But whether that is true or something her mind came up to deal with the trauma remains to be seen.
