Chapter 73

Carmel and the other guests finally leave the yoga studio, where they see a steel can filled with the embers of burning papers. This was the fire.
They make their way through the empty house and meet Yao carrying a tray of fruit. Come on now, Yao.
He’s pretending like things are cool. He tells them that some of the activities might have been “unusual,” but that it was all done for their benefit.
Lars is not having it. They’re definitely reporting them to the police and shutting Tranquillum House down.
Just then, Masha enters. Her guests must be so happy with their results, right?
Wow, this lady be trippin'.
Heather is furious, and the two trade insults. When Heather tells Masha that she’s a terrible mother, Masha lunges for Heather with a silver dagger in her hand.
At the same moment, France grabs the candelabra from the sideboard and swings it right at Masha’s head.
Good Lord. Did Frances kill her?
