  • Suggested warning points range from the first meeting and dress to the park lie, possessiveness, self-harm and opera invitation; the panel does not agree.
  • The lack of immediate hospital treatment after self-harm is questioned, though Dan later tells Alex to see a doctor.
  • Keeping a scrapbook of traumatic events is criticized as a thriller convenience.
  • Alex appears to stop working; weekend timing is a tentative explanation.
  • The whites of Alex’s eyes in the tub look poor, and Beth should consider leaving the unsafe house.
