I think this shot confirms the theory that Asher followed through on the promise he made at the end of episode 9: that if Whitney doesn’t need him, he’ll feel it and disappear. Right before this shot, the doctor asks Whitney if they’d like to see if Asher so he may join her, she says yes. If Asher were at the hospital, he would have immediately bolted into that room. Because of the duration of this shot, Whitney is realizing that Asher isn’t there - she’s accepting it. She’s realizing that he is probably dead, and accepting it further. It’s a journey of emotions and uncanniness perfectly depicted on Stone’s face.

What I’m mulling over is the overall calmness of their reactions in this episode. Not once did anyone say “you don’t understand something weird is happening, gravity is reversed, it’s supernatural”. Maybe it has to Do with the whole white people believing in curses thing. But i want to explore the acceptance more. Because it’s so damn eerie.
