Allegedly

Mary is in the hospital recovering from her fall down the stairs. She is severely injured, but Bean—Mary and Ted’s nickname for the baby—is alive. Winters stays with her in the hospital, wincing as he appraises her injuries and congratulates Mary upon learning she’s having a boy. Winters tells Mary about his five daughters and how his wife is throwing their youngest, Latoya, a big sweet 16 party. As a way into an apology, he claims not to understand women, despite living with six of them. He tells Mary, “I should’ve listened to you, Addison. You were trying to tell me something without saying it, and I didn’t listen” (333). Mary doesn’t blame Winters for not believing her about being in danger because no one “could’ve known New Girl would turn out to be exactly what her parents feared” (333). When Winters leaves, he informs Mary that New Girl and Kelly have been removed from the home, so she’ll be safe when she returns. Ms. Cora visits Mary and is enraged that this violence against Mary could happen. She reprimands Winters and threatens to get Ms. Carmen fired. Police arrive and take Mary’s statement.
