Let us return to the key Emily found in the snowglobe. It was for a storage unit, and the only thing in that unit is a lunchbox Alison had when she was a kid. In the lunchbox? A jump drive.
On the jump drive? Years of secretly-filmed videos of them. Alison is in them and doesn’t seem to know they were being recorded. It’s just the girls hanging out at various places, having sleepovers, being in various states of undress. It’s the skeeziest of finds.
Don’t worry, there’s more! Of course we need the dramatic A ending.
I super thought that I was going to be able to be like AH-HA, SEE, I KNEW ALL ALONG re: Fitz’s terrible key choices, and link you to the relevant post where we first saw his poorly-hidden key, but it turns out that didn’t make it into the post.
However, I assure you that in my notes for episode 7, I have the line “Fitz keeps a key under the mat of his door because that’s safe in an apartment building where it can just get kicked around,” and that I knew all along he was making shitty decisions, and that I should always be trusted about security matters.
Oh, right, you probably need to know why I’m talking about this. I’m talking about this because “A” STOLE THE KEY. It wasn’t hard for A to steal this key, because the dude keeps said key under his doormat in the indoor hallway of his apartment building.
Is this one of those things that you do when you’re a man living alone and you don’t have to worry the way women do when they live alone? (Which, brb, I gotta check my door.)
I’m back. So, yeah, A stole Fitz’s spare key, but hasn’t done anything with it yet. I’m sure when they do, it’ll be…totally fine and not completely bonkers.
A lot’s going on! I hope you’re ready for next week, where I break down the finale that had me texting the friend who got me into all this in ALL CAPS for about HALF THE EPISODE. It’s a big one! I’ll see you then.
