Mia frames the scene with a Twilight Zone analogy about sudden loss after a longed-for gain, then watches Eugene anxiously await a Zoom session with therapist Anjeli. When the connection appears, the family positions a stand-mounted stencil letterboard Adam had built to foster Eugene’s independence. Anjeli obtains Eugene’s consent to communicate with everyone present and coaches him through the initial motor challenges.

Before proceeding, Anjeli confesses that during Saturday’s session, Eugene had spelled an angry stream condemning Adam and wishing him gone. Her partner, Zoe, inadvertently showed that written note to police when Anjeli was hospitalized, so law enforcement now has it. Shannon immediately flags the legal stakes: the note introduces potential motive and could recast Eugene as capable of a deliberate act.

Anjeli contextualizes the outburst. She explains persistent skepticism around letterboards and says Adam withheld telling the family until Eugene could prove independence, ideally with an eye-tracking device. Saturday’s abrupt delay—after plans to reveal Eugene’s skills on Father’s Day—devastated Eugene, who had endured infantilizing tasks at Henry’s House. The disappointment triggered the vented tirade, after which Anjeli says she calmed him. On Monday she urged Adam to prioritize Eugene over doubters; Adam agreed to talk with Eugene at the park, but Anjeli’s sudden illness prevented her from attending.

Shannon asks for evidence that Eugene cooled off before Tuesday. Anjeli cannot offer a subsequent meeting, but insists the anger was venting, not intent. She defends Eugene’s relationship with Adam and challenges the notion he would harm his father, even as Mia detects a flicker of uncertainty beneath Anjeli’s fervor.

The session returns to Eugene. Guided by Anjeli’s visualizing technique, he steadies his aim on the stand-held board. With the family watching and stakes reframed by the revealed note and the eye-tracking plan, Eugene raises his pencil with new purpose and begins to spell.
