This was a solid time. It was very twisty, which Ms. McFadden is particularly good at. I must say, though, if you're trying to figure out what a non-verbal person needs, maybe the MC could have tried like blinking or pointing at letters? It feels weird that she was with the wife for months and didn't get a little more creative.
