it doesn't become clear until this episode that the series intends to play out all the proposed theories, i think. i honestly love that. in the first episode, i wondered why they'd show martha tripping on her way up the stairs and what the ridiculous animal (now clearly owl) noises were in past scenes. it's an interesting way to handle a case. without any spoilers (i mean it's a true crime case come on but still), toni collette acts out the "accidental fall" theory in a way that is deeply disturbing. like, i had to pause and take a second the same way i had to in a certain scene in hereditary. really would not wish this version of a death on anyone tbh.
