Just a note, in case you may be unaware as someone not Anerican, re: American justice system standards that are so well known and instituted they actually have become part of our social consciousness/culture: The dad not cleaning himself up after finding a messy crime scene is expected by police. It's actually something that would work in someone's favor to show their possible innocence. In our system, if you happen upon a deceased person, moving stuff around, changing your clothing (even to save your own dignity or the deceased person's) is literally a crime. They don't care if you're covered in blood. In fact, that's a bonus, because it's evidence. Changing your clothing is destruction of that evidence. So what they're showing here is just how honest and forthright the dad was being. You find your deceased wife? You check on her, abd when you see she is indeed deceased, you call the cops and wait for them. You don't change one iota of anything. No matter how embarrassing, horrific, or gross. He tells Nell it's paint because he's trying to protect her. Because he can't change his clothes without commiting a crime. It is disturbing but it's the right call in that horrific situation.

The psychologist is played by Russ Tamblin. He is in the original film version of the book. He plays a character named Luke in the movie.

Nell’s story is so very tragic. I’ve seen this episode so many times but it always makes me tear up.

The actress who played Nellie had never acted in anything before this and I'm amazed by her skill

Man, the last ten minutes if this episode are so utterly heartbreaking. The house giving her everything she wanted before just snatching it away.

this show is so good

Looking forward to your reactions for the remaining episodes. This show just continues to get better and better.

I came across your reaction and wanted to watch from ep 1 but its not available :(
