"Dominique, -nique, -nique" says it's time for meds in the common room. Lana's looking pretty despondent and zombified right about now, and as she stares out the barred window, we see the POV of something advancing behind her. The soundtrack gets all intense and scary, and Lana jumps at the hand on her shoulder, but it's only Dr. Thredson. Cheap scares! You almost got me, show! I will now give no further thought to the symbolic meaning of such a shot sequence! Anyway, he's all "We're leaving here tonight, you and me. Meet me by the staircase after dinner." Sounds like a clever, well thought-out plan.
Thredson then strides down to his office, where Kit is waiting for their session. Kit's all worked up about how Grace is getting sterilized, but Thredson very plainly says it's not his problem. Because far be it from Ollie Thredson to interfere in Sister Jude's sovereign business. He's here to help Kit complete his very therapeutic therapy, wherein Kit realizes that he really did kill those women. The next step, in Kit "giving [him]self-permission to believe it" is to commit a full confession to tape. Thredson has conveniently brought a recording device for this very occasion. Kit wants to make sure that if he does this, Thredson will tell the courts that he belongs in Briarcliff and not the electric chair. Thredson says yes, but only if Kit confesses like he really means it.
...Okay, here's the deal. I know I probably should have been playing the Which Main Character Is Bloody Face? parlor game since episode 1, but I'd been having so much fun with the show that it honestly never occurred to me. Obviously we'd find out that Bloody Face was really Gwyneth around episode ten or so, and that would be that. So I understand how the rest of you are totally justified in your gloating that you Called It (!), but understand that I kinda never gave a shit. HOWEVER. As soon as Ollie Thredson laid out this hella sketchy plan in the name of therapy, even dumbass me realized something was up. Obviously the guy is a family member of one of the victims or somebody else with an agenda to fuck over Kit Walker and send him to the electric chair hey you know who would have just such an interest in seeing Kit Walker executed for the Bloody Face murders the real Bloody Face OH WAIT. Anyway. Anyway, Kit goes along with this, because as an intellectual, Kit makes for a great underwear model.
