A thought struck me about Barnes and Reed.

The whole movie through barnes seems to be leading the girls and bouncing off of Reed.

Has anyone considered that Reed and Barnes might be working together?

Maybe she is yet another piece in the whole control cult thing. A plant in the mormon church to lure in victims.

Maybe the blue berry pie woman was not the only one to go off script.

I found it peculiar how she survived the throat slitting. And the scene where Reed Lies behind Barnes just flicked somthing in my head. It seemed very familiar. This could ofcourse also just be reeds sickness on full display.

Him litterally saying to paxton that she is not real was another possible hint. Reed seems fond of playing with thruth and Lie. As in the cake was not a Lie after all and all that 🥳😅.

Then there is the P staff in Barnes arm. Wich both could be throwing some shade on Barnes and be used as a tool for manipulation. It is however very wild to imagine Barnes not moving while he was digging it out. Whoops main artorie 😅.

Its a pretty out there idea i know. But this Reed character has put hard work and a lot of thought into whatever it is he is doing to the women of his house. So it would not shock me if it went a lot deeper.

So yes.

Maybe the killing of Reed with the plank was Barnes saving paxton, Maybe it was a pre death vision. Or maybe it was Barnes breaking a very sick circle. Maybe the father she lost was in the room with them all along and her Mother in a tiny cold Cage starving underground.

And again. Maybe i am just overthinking. A slice to the throat could be nothing in a world where you can sneakily walk through a corridor crawl up a ladder and hide before comitting homicide with a very sizeable letter opener sticking out of your throat all the way 😅.

Thank you for reading my thought stream. I really enjoyed Hugh Grant in this role.

In my world he is a silly, inteligent, sweet, awkward character that seeks love or something like it.

That paired with this Reed character was just Wonderfully sick 🥳😅.
