Chapter 25 Summary

Content Warning: This section features discussions of suicidal ideation.

Nisha invades Sam’s office and confronts her about the shoes. Seeing the exchange, Simon fires Sam despite Joel’s attempts to intervene. Nisha shows discomfort at the unintended result of her actions but still believes herself to be in the right and waits for Sam outside. Sam is forced to pack her things and is escorted outside by security, where she calls Andrea. She begins walking home, and Nisha follows her and harasses her. Sam tries to explain that she attempted to return the shoes but found that the gym had closed. As Nisha walks beside her, Sam realizes that she is wearing her pumps.

When Sam gets home, she sees Andrea’s car in the driveway and notes that Phil is still working on the van. She brings Nisha’s bag downstairs, and Nisha checks to see if everything is still there. Andrea is waiting in the kitchen, and Sam tells her everything and explains that Phil isn’t talking to her. Nisha comes in and confronts her again about the shoes being missing, and Phil comes in a moment later, telling Sam that he knows the shoes are proof of her illicit relationship with Joel.
