The New Couple in 5B

In a session with her psychologist Dr. Black, Rosie rehashes the events of the past weeks and a recent fight with Chad, in which she confronted him about his relationship with Dana. Dr. Black assures her that the anxiety she is feeling is normal given recent events, and that the visions she has had in the past are waking nightmares that manifest as a result of her trauma. He suggests that Abi accidentally forgot to load the box intended for Dana into the cab, then lied about it to protect his job. He gives her a Hamsa hand of his own, explaining that such charms are widely available and that many people have them. Rosie leaves feeling relieved. Max calls with news that he has been fired and his publishing house is closing.
