Chapter 23 Summary

Gwen, Meredith, and Jacob (her receptionist) watch Scott Harden on the news. Gwen notices that he skims over the details of his time in captivity and does not describe his kidnapper. Gwen’s next appointment is with Luke Attens, her most volatile client. Luke is having a panic attack because their session is taking place in the conference room instead of in Gwen’s office. When he calms down, he mentions Randall Thomspon and asks if Randall was a client of Gwen’s. Gwen denies this. Luke says that Randall was his teacher and calls him a “pervert,” but Jacob interrupts to check in on them. Seeing Luke’s anger escalate, Gwen ends the session and leaves, telling Meredith to call security. While Gwen is in Meredith’s office, Luke barges into Gwen’s office.

Chapter 24 Summary

Gwen knows that Luke might react violently to her notes on Randall Thompson, which are easily accessible in her office. The security guards arrive, saying that they have Luke at the front desk, but they have to let him go because he did not technically assault anyone. Gwen thinks back to what Luke said about Randall being a “pervert.” She goes back to her office to clean up a lamp that Luke broke and calls Robert’s office to warn him about Luke, as Robert’s business card was on her desk when Luke entered her office.
