At the basement space Eugene unlocked, the family realizes it is Anjeli’s house. A bulletin board and diploma confirm her identity. Mia hides a matching yellow heart card, fearing it proves an affair. John uncovers a therapy box and binder logging Eugene’s sessions here since October.

In a small video room with an iPad and a poster outlining the PPT process (poke, point, type), John admits he and Adam argued about this method days earlier. Using Anjeli’s website and a guessed password, they open a client portal and select a recent recording.

On the video, Anjeli presents a lesson on alternative energy, then holds a stencil letterboard for Eugene. He slowly pokes letters to spell “SOLAR,” “WIND,” and “NUCULAR.” Mia questions manipulation; John explains scaffolding and motor support consistent with the PPT stages. They rewatch, checking for subtle cues and seeing none.

Adam appears offscreen, then on camera when Eugene jokes that “Mia’s mouth” is an energy source. Adam is overjoyed; he and Anjeli celebrate with Eugene, hugging. Their warmth and near-intimate moment suggest deep closeness before the recording ends.

The family is stunned: Eugene’s apparent communication upends assumptions, while Adam’s secrecy and the intimacy with Anjeli feel like betrayal. The discovery raises urgent questions: why Adam hid the therapy, and why Eugene, the only eyewitness to Adam’s disappearance, isn’t signaling what he knows now.
