Chapter 11 Summary

Eddie comes into the dayroom on Sage’s fifth day in Willowbrook. He tells her that Alan has gone on a fishing trip, no one was home at Dawn’s, and Heather’s father destroyed Eddie’s note. Also, Eddie adds that his uncle can’t help because his job is in jeopardy after his colleague was fired for informing the parents’ association of patient rights. Sage cries, wondering what she’ll do, and Eddie reassures her.

Eddie wakes her up in the ward in the middle of the night. He tells her that his uncle’s colleague, Dr. Wilkins, is going to bring in a reporter and TV crew to document the abuses at Willowbrook. When that happens, in the chaos, he’ll sneak her out through the tunnels to his car and take her home. She asks why she shouldn’t just tell the press, and Eddie points out that she is unlikely to be believed since she’ll be seen as a patient. She agrees to follow his plan.
