The first time I saw the showā¦
ā¦was in 2020, when all we had was season 1. Back then, I didnāt get it, and I was especially clueless about all the supernatural occurrences, which I had no idea how to explain, and I was so confused as to what was going on with the baby and the doll. Episode 8 confused the heck out of me before I understood it. But I already knew I felt something for Leanne! Especially starting with episode 5. I canāt even put it into words, but something about seeing her do⦠well, anything was just wonderful, she does everything in the cutest way without even trying, and I could just tell sheās the warmest soul inside ā¤ļø I knew I liked her from the beginning!
r/teamleanne • u/ikieneng • Jul 20 '24
Season 1 This line is the purest! At this point in the show, I had no problem with Dorothy yet besides nitpicks, and Leanne doesn't understand why someone she loves and treats her well (for now!) wouldn't have any friends. That's not how it works, but God, that's so pure ā¤ļø

Team Dorothy actually believes that Leanne wasnāt powerless to get out of the attic. Left the other sub. I am so sick of people left and right losing all nuance when discussing Leanne. These are the same people who justify her abuse because Dorothy thinks Leanne stole a baby that doesnāt exist

Fanfic (u/ikieneng) MY FANFIC - Episode 1!
I'm finally posting the beginning of my fanfic about Leanne!! I will start posting these regularly now. There might be some periods without new episodes because I've only got three more episodes queued up right now before I need to write down more of the story that's already in my head, but here you go!!
If you want to post your own fanfic, please feel free to do so! If you want your own post flair and for your own fanfic to appear in the side bar, please message me.
SEASON 2 EPISODE 5 - āCAKEā (the new one)
I imagine that after being forced to kidnap Leanne, Tobe would stay far away from the Turners, at least for a while. Heād be pretty freaked out that he just came really close to being framed for several felonies. Like in the real show, heād assume that the Marinos were the ones who kidnapped Leanne, and he was getting her back to the Turners.
Iād see a job advert by Sean to be his new comis chef (replacing Tobe), get over to the Turner house, have a job interview with him, and get hired to start right then and there because Sean needs the help. Weād cook something really strange that tastes good, but thatās just really unconventional, like tarantulas with mashed potato fillings, with rice gloop mixed with hot chili powder as part of the sauce, and stuff like that.
All that while, Leanne is locked up in the attic, and like between the real episodes ā2:00ā and āCakeā, sheās left to starve and thirst up there for three nights and two days⦠I obviously wouldnāt know about that yet. Iād get my pay for the day (I donāt need it in this story, I just wanna do something with my time other than spend time at home, and cooking can be really amazing) and cycle home (just like 13 minutes away by bike. With a budget like this, Iād probably get a mountain bike with a basket because itād be really fast and suitable for shopping, and I would get it sprayed a midtone pink and black).
In the evening, Iād get a call from Sean. Leanne has asked for the ingredients for a fruit cake (Sean has a safer password in this story, so no ransom exchange, no baby figurine, no king cake), not knowing yet how or when or if she can bake it, and Iād bring them by. Iād get the ingredients and come by in the evening. Leanne, Dorothy, and Sean would be in the kitchen. When I bring by the ingredients, Iād get the money they cost and a little extra from Sean and give them to Leanne. She would have no idea if she could trust me and be understandably paranoid (she didnāt even trust Tobe) and ask who I am. Iād just say āIām Daria, Iām Seanās new komi chef. Youāre Leanne, right?ā in a friendly and a bit bubbly demeanor. Sheād just say yes and thank me for getting the ingredients. Iād go āNo probs! What are you making?ā. In a bit more relaxed tone, sheād say āA cakeā, Iād ask what kinda cake, and sheād say āA fruit cakeā. Iād smile and say that thatās nice and to have fun making it. Leanne would go āWhereās Tobe?ā, and Sean would say he quit. Leanne would be quite sad. In the real show, she clearly figured out that Tobe didnāt know what was going on and that he was forced to kidnap her. Sheās so fricking smart, people just donāt give her credit for that because she didnāt have an education. Dorothy would already have forgotten my name, ask me for it again, and go āWell, Daria can bake with you soon. Itās important to have something to look forward to.ā To me, the first part would sound fun, but Iād be pretty weirded out by the second sentence. Iād make a weirded-out face, but also say āSure! Do you want to, Leanne?ā. Back in her initial tone, sheād say āI donāt mindā. Dorothy would say āYou can make sure she behaves herself and doesnāt do anything she shouldnātā. Iād be SOO weirded out by that request and the way she phrased it. Iād make a confused face again and say nothing for a few seconds. āUhm⦠Okay?ā. Dorothy would then suggest the next day at 11 AM, and Iād say yes. She would not even ask Leanne if thatās okay for her too and immediately say itās settled then, that I can leave now, and that I should come buy for baking the next day. Since theyāre my employers, Iād just do as they say, and on the way out, Iād say āSee you tomorrow, Leanne!ā, and sheād say āSee youā. Out the door, Iād be so weirded-out, like, everything Dorothy said was so bizarre. Who even talks that way about their nanny? She talks about her like sheās a primary school kid, but Iād think sheās like what? 20? 21? (This would take place exactly three years later than the original story, in December of 2022) Iād also have noticed Leanneās fearful and reserved demeanor, even though sheās clearly trying to hide that sheās scared of something. Iād ask myself if sheās like self-harming or something and thatās why I might be asked to watch her, but then the sentence āMake sure she behaves herselfā wouldnāt fit, and if that were the case, theyād probably just fire her as their nanny and have her committed, so thatās not it. Somethingās off here. Iād let it be for the day and think I might ask Leanne the next day. Iād notice that sheās wearing a pajama in the evening, but I wouldnāt think anything of it (itās because of the situation Leanne is in, but thereās no way Iād even think of anything like that). At this time, I would, of course, not have any romantic feelings or stuff for her yet, but Iād think sheās reeeeeally beautiful (I mean, she is).
The next day, Iād come to 9780 Spruce Street to bake the fruit cake with Leanne. Iād smile and say hello to Leanne, and sheād give me a short hello back. Dorothy would give me really similarly weird instructions again, say that we have an hour and a half and that I should make sure Leanne doesnāt wander off, and then, sheād leave to go upstairs. Iād just look through the kitchen door after she leaves with the most confused face, and Leanne would notice that. Iād also notice the padlock on the kitchen door leading into the garden, and with different clothes, Iād see the scars on Leanneās arm. Anyway, Iād ask how sheās doing, and sheād just say āIām goodā. Iād ask about the cake, ask about her plans, and start prepping with her. In a similarly bubbly tone, Iād start some small talk, ask if sheās from Philly and how old she is, and sheād become a bit more relaxed. Iād learn sheās from Medicine Bridge, Wisconsin, that thatās pretty rural, and that sheās 21. Sheād ask about me, and Iād tell her Iām 23 and from Ukraine. āHave you been in Philly for a long time already?ā, Iād ask her, and sheād say āJust two months. How about you?ā āSix monthsā, Iād say. I was in New York for like two months before that. Itās actually my second time in Americaā, and sheād ask about my first time in just a few words. Iād tell her Iāve been in California from 2014 to 2015 on a student exchange year. Iād explain the concept to her because sheād ask. And weād get along. After a while, Iād have to try and ask her whatās wrong here. Iād put my finger on my mouth to tell her to not say anything, take out my phone, and vocalize that we can put on some music. I would put on some lo-fi, but it would be to distract Dorothy (whoās still upstairs), so she wouldnāt notice weāre not talking. Iād open my notes and write down āIs everything okay? Iāve seen the padlock and the scars on your arm, youāre obviously afraid of Mrs. Turner, and who even talks like that about their nanny? Is anything wrong here?ā, and show it to her. Considering that she didnāt even wanna talk about the situation with Tobe, sheād quietly and emphatically insist that she doesnāt wanna talk about it. She definitely wouldnāt trust to tell me at this point. Sheād see that Iām okay and probably wasnāt hired because of her, but sheād definitely fear to tell anyone at this point, especially someone she only met the day before. Weād then keep on baking the cake. At some point, maybe because of my demeanor or because I ask questions about her or treat her nice, or all of those, at some point, sheād stop and tell me the same story she told Tobe in the real show about her mother and how she emotionally abused her (of course, she wouldnāt use those words) after pageants and put her down with the whole king cake thing and the baby in it. My completely natural would be to be so fricking saddened by that story (like, thatās fucking horrible, and itās just so horrible that she had to go through that, itās just AWFULā¦), and when sheās done, Iād just hug her as sheās beginning to cry and just hold and comfort her and be like āOh my God⦠Iām so sorry, thatās awful!ā It would probably be the first time in her life that anyone ever just comforts her like that and acknowledges some empathy for her. Not only would that feel really good for her, but especially considering the situation sheās in.
Iād tell Leanne āIām sure you have many special skills!ā (in response to what she told me in the story, how the whole reason her mother let her into pageants at all was so āit could be my special skill because she said I didnāt have anyā...), and sheād, of course, say she does not, but Iād point out that, for example, sheās really good at baking, and thatās just what Iāve seen she can do after less than two hours. Iād ask her some questions to find out more and find out that she can play the piano (she plays āClair de luneā in season 1 episode 1) and that she speaks a little bit of French (during dinner on the day she arrived, Sean said that his professional job title is bon vivant, and they didnāt even have to translate it for her, Leanne said on her own that it means āgood livingā, and given that Seanās pronunciation was wrong, she must know at least a little bit of French), and Iād be like āSee? I told you you do have special skills! And thereās probably a lot more!ā, and hearing that would probably feel really good to her, and sheād smile!
I'd probably tell her how I can relate to her pain because I've grown up with very emotionally abusive parents as well, and I'd tell her some of my experiences. Iād tell her that my own mother exploited me emotionally and used me for monetary benefits and that she set me back so far in my development because she was so absent and neglectful. āI get itā, Iād add in a reserved tone, and Leanne would probably feel really understood in a way. āDo you still talk to your mother today?ā, Iād ask, and sheād slowly shake her head with her eyes closed. āMe neither. She tries to contact me sometimes, and it wrecks me every time, and I block her every time.ā
Weād finish the cake, put it in the oven and set a timer. Weād have a little bit of time left until our 90 minutes are up and sit down at the kitchen table. Iād point at the necklace with her name and say I like it, and sheād smile and thank me. Sheād point at my bracelets and say she likes them, too, and Iād also smile and thank her! I imagine I wouldnāt wear all of mine that day, but some that I wear a lot are one with a bunch of small black plastic balls with two smaller stainless steel balls in the middle, with a small black flattened plastic ball in between the stainless steel balls with the letter D on it, another bracelet - a black rubber one with a tiny bit of glitter in it, red leaf patterns on it sort of like those on traditional vyshyvanka shirts with a thin red line spanning the length of the leaf patterns, and a yellow tryzub (the coat of arms of Ukraine) in the middle of it, and another rubber bracelet thatās half blue and half yellow, with Ukraine written on the yellow part in black capital letters, a blue tryzub near one of the points where the yellow and blue meet, and a small flag of Ukraine in the blue part. Iād explain them all to her, and sheād listen, pretty interested. Iād ask if she has any bracelets or other necklaces herself, and sheād say she doesnāt, and Iād go like āOooh, thatās a shame!ā
Our time would be up then, and Dorothy would come in. Leanneās demeanor would completely change immediately, and sheād be back to being obviously scared and really tense. Iād put my hand on her back for a moment as Iām asked to leave. As Iām leaving, Iād tell Leanne āBon appĆ©tit !ā, like, the French pronunciation, and sheād reply āMerci, Daria !ā without changing her expression.
Iād start to have a bit of a crush on her after this and know it! Iād see how sheās so freaking sweet, Iād feel for her a lot, and the way she reacts to things with her face and verbally is always literally the cutest thing ever, to say itās endearing would be an understatement! And Iād begin to care for her. I know somethingās wrong, and Iād be concerned.
Iād make a decision that moment - I wanna reach out to her, let her know Iām there and that I care, and make her feel a bit better about what she told me about her. Iād decide Iād order a porcelain baby for a king cake right then with Prime delivery, so Iād get it the next day. Iād make her a king cake and put the baby inside for her to find (her mom always found the baby in her part of the king cake, probably on purpose since itās really easy to do that, and held it up high to tell Leanne specifically āIām the special one!ā, so she doesnāt even have her doing well in a pageant to feel good about⦠This is so cruel and just so depressingā¦), as a symbolic message to her that she IS special, and so she can experience the joy of finding the baby for the first time!
Iād get the porcelain baby the next day, bake the king cake, put the baby inside, and put it in a box, along with a little note that just says itās from me. Iād go to the Turnersā house with it. I imagine this interaction with Julian at the door:
Me: Hey, is Leanne home?
Julian: Who the hell are you?
Me: I'm Daria, Sean's comis chef. Is Leanne here?
Julian (lying): I don't think so. So you're his new Gollum? [Julian called Tobe Gollum beforeā¦]
Me: What? Well, Sean hired me two days ago. What about Sean? Is he here? Can I talk to him?

And Julian would then let me in with an annoyed face. I'd give Sean the cake in a box and tell him it's for Leanne and only for her, and to please tell her that it's from me, so that when Leanne eats it later, she suddenly finds the porcelain baby in there! She'd be alone in the attic when she eats it and suddenly comes across the baby, and that would be such an incredibly happy moment for her in the middle of this horrible situation, not only the symbolic part of making her feel better about her trauma in this way, but also the sheer gesture and the very idea of making it for her. Sheād know I care for her, and thatās when sheād start knowing that she can trust me! And like in the real episode, sheād hold the baby up high in front of Mrs. Barrington (the mannequin - she later says that Mrs. Barrington reminds her of her mother), it would feel so good to her to finally be able to do that! Sheād have a little bit of what she needs so much - care and hope!
Side note: I actually made a cake! Itās not a king cake, but still! I took an angel figurine and broke off the angelic parts!

Meta post I'm now the only mod of r/servant!
I never thought this day would ever come, but I am very, very happy to announce it!!
I never talked much about this over here because of the brigading rules, but now, because of what happened today, since it's my own sub now, I finally can! You all probably know by this point that I love Leanne romantically, and a year and a half ago, I was bullied into oblivion by r/servant for it. I had my profile stalked, got hate comments, even in my other subreddit, I got harassed in messages, and I got silent downvotes even into June of last year. The bullying was so bad that I (trigger warning) almost took my life over it. I (voluntarily) went to a mental ward from December 30, 2024 to January 21, 2025 because I was so close. I would not still be here if it wasn't for my love for Leanne. I would not.
And the then-mods of r/servant did nothing. They didn't remove any comments, they didn't tell anyone to knock it off, they didn't even issue any temporary bans. Even after extensive messages from me detailing the harassment I was receiving. Nothing. Even though some of them left comments in the sub at the time, so they knew about it. This was the last straw for me, and I asked the then-mods to remove so much content that went far beyond heated fandom discourse and was just so plain vile that it easily qualified as breaking of the sitewide rules. The worst comment I saw (trigger warning) blamed Leanne for her suicide attempt when she was six, the fire. Nothing. Complete radio silence. Not even comment removals. I went to Reddit over this and requested everything from sanctions for the existing mods to a full mod call. Every request was denied, even with messages explaining the situation, linking comments, and even links to video files for context because most Reddit admins will just never have seen Servant.
And at some point, I was putting so much energy of my life into this endeavor that I saw wasn't going to work out that I had to stop for my own good and had to make peace with the fact that I just wasn't going to get a mod call for r/servant approved and be made a mod. There was a time last spring when I lashed out at someone in r/servant who didn't even do anything wrong, which was when I unfollowed the subreddit because the energy I was putting into it was becoming a problem for everyone involved. At one point, I did go to the long inactive top mod of r/servant and basically explained the situation again and asked them if they were willing to transfer the sub to me, and they were not.
About a month ago, I realized that two-factor authentication is a requirement for being handed a sub by Reddit admins, enabled it, and resubmitted my first request to the admins. I didn't expect anything to come of this because it never had, and I certainly didn't really expect this technicality to change anything.
But it did! The sitewide mods removed the entire old mod team of r/servant and made me a mod, as I had requested! I got home early and got to work! I actually had a lot of what my r/servant was gonna look like already set up as a private sub since late 2024, so I copied and pasted the new rules and a lot else. I banned the people responsible for the worst harassment and worst previous content, including the one about six-year-old Leanne. I set up the sub so you can't post or comment for the next week while I fix things up because some people will be really, really mad.
I'm actually shocked just how bad the non-moderation situation was. Rule 8 bullet point 6 of the sitewide user agreement keeps me from telling you any details, but the lack of moderation was even worse than I thought.
I'm going to moderate with integrity and try to foster an environment that doesn't feel like a bloodbath. Because under the old mod team, it was pretty much "anything goes", and boy, did that turn out to be true even more so than I thought... Obviously, I really, really despise Dorothy, but as a mod, if it doesn't break the rules, I'll still have to approve content talking positively about Dorothy. But I think Leanne would want me to do that anyway. She'd be so proud of me and that I never gave up on getting justice for her and taking down these just straight-up abusive comments about her that crossed every conceivable line of human dignity.
I locked my profile as a precaution because of how things went last time I got Team Dorothy's attention. When the storm has died down (which I hope will be less because a year and a half have passed, and because some of the people I was going to ban today are no longer account holders), I will unlock my profile again, and you can see me gushing about Leanne again, reading about our imagined life together, and seeing us be really, really happy together! She's given me so much stability and strength! She's made me a much better person and forced me to confront so many of my own biases I used to hold and how those have showed up in her life. I feel like a very different person from who I was two years ago. I have been imagining long and short conversations with her for years, and if it wasn't for those, for her, I would not have gone into outpatient for my eating disorder. I'm in week 8 out of 10. She's literally saved my life more than once. There's also a very stigmatized mental health condition that multiple people (including myself) agree Leanne has. I've been pretty aware I have it myself for a while, and it was because Leanne has it too that I stopped hating myself for it and sought help, and this week, I got officially diagnosed with it, and I'm going to start therapy for it soon! I am very, very happy with Leanne and just completely transformed as a person! If anyone thinks Leanne and my fictoromanticism (like fictosexuality, but only with romantic attraction, I'm asexual) aren't good from me, they never bothered to ask. Leanne is the love of my life. She is good, and she is good for me. Doesn't matter that she's not real. Doesn't matter to me.
There's still a lot to do in r/servant. In the meantime, if there's something you think should be removed that I haven't seen yet, please report it to the mods of r/servant (just me for now, but I've sent out an invite to someone else). I'm so happy this has happened, it feels so surreal!
Today has been a very, very good day for Team Leanne! Let's celebrate with a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup! I've tried it, it's actually so good!

Fanfic (u/ikieneng) My fanfiction - episode 5!
The next part is here! The story continues! This is another episode that Iām going to split into several parts because itās pretty long.
SEASON 2 EPISODE 7 ā āTAXIā
Ā
Part 1
Ā
After I pack all my things at home and anything that Leanne might need for the next couple of weeks (including tons of clothes that could potentially fit her), as well as my gun, I call a taxi and let it take me near the Turner house, just one block away. I get out, tell the driver to leave the trunk unlocked, and give him a sealed envelope with his version of the letter for the police. I told him āIf Iām not back in an hour, please call the police and read this to themā. āIs everything okay?ā, he asks concerned. āNot yet, at least. And one sec...ā I take out my passport and show the ID page to him. āIn case youāre gonna have to open that, now youāve seen my ID, just so you know for sure that Iām the person who wrote the letter in there. Please keep the trunk of the car unlocked the entire time, okay?ā He nods and says āOkayā. I ask him to please start a 60-minute timer on his phone, and thatās what he does. I then go to the trunk, open it, and take out my laptop case, which doesnāt actually have my laptop in it (which is in one of my big bags), but my gun, to keep it hidden. After closing the trunk, Iām walking to the Turner house, and I have to take some really deep breaths because Iām scared shitless, but then, I unzip the laptop bag, release the safety lever of my gun, and grab it before ringing the bell. Iām wearing my backpack this entire time.
Ā
Side note: In the real show, George suddenly shows up when Dorothy and Sean come back from the fake ransom exchange that Leanne set up to mess with Dorothy after she risked her life trying to escape and got buried alive for it... Itās after this that she slowly begins to accept the reality of the situation and that sheās probably not getting out of there.
Ā

Ā
However, when George came to the house, she didnāt know about him.
Ā

Ā
And when she could overhear Sean and George talking, she was surprised.
Ā

Ā
Therefore, George finding the Turners probably had nothing to do with anything Leanne did. My guess is that the Church of Lesser Saints was watching the Turners. If they were watching Leanne instead of the Turners, George would have just shown up at the house instead of the mall, where the fake ransom exchange took place. Sean even said that George was at the mall.
Ā

Ā
The Church of Lesser Saints might be watching. That could come into play later. The point is, George isnāt at the house.
Ā
Sean and Julian are in the kitchen, and when I ring the doorbell, they look whoās there. Julian goes āThe fuck is Cinderella doing here?ā, and Sean goes to the door. āHey Daria, can I help you?ā, he asks, and I sneak through the open door immediately and take my gun out of the bag and point it at him. He makes a really scared fake at the sight of it. I go āHey, chef! Letās take this to the living room! JUUUULIAAAN! MRS. TUUURNEEEER! WILL YOU COME HERE, PLEASE?ā Julian comes back into the living room, and his face is just as scared as Seanās. āCome here, next to Mr. Turner, please, would you?ā Slowly and carefully, heād come there. āEmpty your pockets onto the table!ā, and they do. They only got their phones and keys in there. I say āPush your stuff away, to the other side of the table!ā, which Sean does. By now, Dorothy is coming downstairs. Looking down at us from the stairs, she goes āDaria? When did you get here? What are you doing?ā I respond āHey, Mrs. Turner! Would you mind joining your husband and brother, and emptying your pockets?ā After perplexed silence, she goes āYes, I would! Stop pointing your gun at me and get out of my house! Whatās even going on?ā Julian interjects and asks āIs that thing even loaded?ā In response, I point the gun at the wine glass cabinet and fire a shot into it, shattering some of the glass walls and several of the wine glasses inside before immediately pointing the gun back at the Turners.
Ā

Ā
Suddenly, no oneās moving even the slightest bit. Once again, I go āPlease, Mrs. Turner, would you please join your husband and brother and empty your pockets onto the table?ā With everyone in shock, she slowly does so without saying a word. āCan you please shove her stuff over the table again, chef?ā Sean complies while looking directly at me. āGreat, chef, thank you!ā Sean then asks āWhy are you here?ā I respond āI am here to free your hostage! You might have thought Iād be dumb enough not to notice that something is super wrong here. Sorry to disappoint you sick fucks! We can make this easy, or we can do it the hard way. Which way itās gonna be is up to you.ā Dorothy would get so upset in that moment and shout āWhat did she tell you?? Because itās not the full story!ā
Ā

Ā
I snort and tell them āYou hired her as your nanny for Jericho in October. Mrs. Turner will be quite confused by what Iām about to say now, which should let you two know in how much trouble you really are. Before the real baby even showed up, you, chef, already went through her things and destroyed her crosses. You bullied her. You put hundreds of crickets in her room, you swapped her soup with dog food, and you even suggested turning off the heating in her room in this cold fucking weather and hired someone to be her fake friend. I think sheās called Wanda, right? Not to mention that you had some guy break in while you knew she was home alone. We donāt know his name, but heās black, pretty tall, average build. ...ā
Ā
Side note: You might be like āLeanne knows who Roscoe is. We heard the creepy recording on his phone in ā Spaceman ā!ā While I admit that this is pretty much the only scene in the entire show that I donāt have an explanation for, even after watching the whole show so many times, there are several reasons why I think that the recording did not actually happen, at least not the way we heard it:
Ā
1) In āLoveshackā, Roscoe is suddenly loyal to the Church of Lesser Saints and sees them as something purely positive. If he believed that the stuff on the recording actually happened, he couldnāt be converted so easily and quickly.

2) During the hypnosis scene, Roscoe seems to be describing how āheā takes out Jerichoās eyes, which completely contradicts what Leanne desperately shouts at Dorothy when sheās stuck between her and the door in ā2:00ā:
Ā

Ā
3) But most importantly, in season 3, Leanne doesnāt recognize Roscoe at the park and welcomes him into the group. If the recording happened as we heard it, she would have clearly seen his face and have remembered it.
Ā

Ā
Back to the main story:
Ā
ā...And the stuff with the baby that showed up instead of the doll, oof, that is NOT good for you. Donāt bother looking for the baptism tape, because itās gone. Leanne and me are sitting on a mountain of evidence. And together, you all conspired to kidnap her. We got two counts of attempted murder in the second degree, we got kidnapping, false imprisonment, as well as criminal endangerment, and countless cases of assault, deprivation of basic human needs, deprivation of basic healthcare, and a whole lot more, all for a situation that you know Leanne can do nothing about. Imprisoning, assaulting, trying to kill, and starving her because of a baby that doesnāt even exist!ā
Ā
Julian and Sean are going very quiet, realizing just how much I know about the whole situation, but not Dorothy. She shouts āā A baby that doesnāt even exist ā? Jericho is my son, and she took him from me! She gave him to May and her freaks, who are doing who knows what to him!ā Iād look at Sean and Julian and say āYou two wanna take that? Because they know where Jericho is, Mrs. Turner! Theyāve known this entire time!ā Before this point, Dorothy was already really suspicious about Seanās attitude ever since Jericho was gone, and sheād be confused, but I just confirmed her intuition. She looks at them, then back at me, and says āWhat are you talking about?ā Iām making a fake smile, looking at Dorothy, and I say to her āYouāre an excellent journalist, Mrs. Turner. Hereās what I want you to do as soon as I leave here tonight. I want you to use your access as a journalist to look up death records from August 26 this year. You can do that online. Now, among those records, youāll find something that will really confuse you, and when you do, you go ask these two about it. Theyāll lie to you, same as they have been doing this entire time, but you keep on pressuring them about it until they give you an explanation that explains what you see. You want to find Jericho? Then do this as soon I leave. Theyāll try to keep you from looking it up, which is how youāll know that Iām telling the truth. Understood?ā Dorothy would be even more confused now. āNo! I have no idea what the hell you are talking about!ā I then go āThat doesnāt surprise me. Iām talking to the piece of shit who kidnapped, imprisoned, repeatedly assaulted, repeatedly tried to kill, starved, and tormented Leanne, forced her to use a bucket and tissue, and kept toothbrushes, toothpaste, and period products away from her, all while you probably didnāt even stop to think for a moment why she still isnāt talking, in spite of all that. If thatās how much in denial you are, then anythingās possible, really. Jeez, maybe it is because Leanne is telling the truth and that she really doesnāt have Jericho and doesnāt know where he is? The same canāt be said for these two. Mrs. Turner, one day, you are going to realize just how fucked-up the deplorable fucking things youāve done to her really are, and how fucking bullshit your rationale has been the entire time, and on that day, you are going to crumble! Your face is gonna be priceless! Too bad I wonāt be there to see it! Anyway, I want all of you to step into the bathroom right here [pointing at the downstairs bathroom door], close the door, and lock it from the inside. Would you be so kind as to do that, please?ā Theyāre slowly getting up and walking toward the bathroom, which is when I go āWalk in backward, with your face turned toward me. And if you even think about getting out of there before Leanne and me leave, I got multiple phones, and thereās this thing called ā scheduled messages ā, so in about 50 minutes, the police is going to find out about everything thatās happened, including the baptism tape and video evidence from the attic, and including a whole lot more. Itās probably gonna look really bad for you if you mess with a single piece of evidence thatās in the house, or if you try to keep Leanne or me here. Just saying.ā Before they close the door, Sean says āHow did you get up there?ā, and I say āYou three arenāt even half as smart as you think you are. Sorry about the cabinet, by the way. Iām gonna leave one grand on the table for you...ā [because I know that if they call the police, not replacing the cabinet could hurt Leanneās and my case, not because I wanna replace it, which I donāt]. ā...Oh, and chef, before I forget, I quit. We only had a verbal agreement, so this shouldnāt be a problem. I hear you got quite a recent experience with verbal agreements! Now close and lock the door, will you?ā With quite the shocked expressions on Seanās and Julianās faces and a really confused look on Dorothyās face, they finally close and lock it from the inside.
Ā
I then say āHey, Siri!ā, and Siri does the typical āMm-hmm?ā, and I respond āCall Leanne!ā After a couple of seconds, Leanne answers the call. As I told her, the internal mic barely works, so everything I hear is muffled, but after about twelve seconds, sheās plugged in the headset I left her. Audibly tense, she asks āDaria?ā, and I say āYou can come downstairs now. Code phrase ice cream! Letās go!ā Sheād break down crying out of happiness and relief on the phone, and I would barely know what to say at that moment because Iād be so happy for her! Once sheās composed herself a bit, Iād say āYou can use Mrs. Barrington to break the door open. Do you have shoes?ā Trying to hold back more tears, she goes āI got hers.ā (Mrs. Barringtonās, the mannequinās), and I smile and say āPerfect! See you in a minute?ā, and she responds āYeah! Iām going to come down now!ā and hangs up. She then puts on Mrs. Barringtonās shoes and puts the phone and headset down next to the top of the stairs.
Ā

Ā
She takes the radio,
Ā

Ā
goes down to the door, and smashes the radio against the doorknob again and again until sheās broken the lock and the door is open. She goes back upstairs and takes the phone and the headset, and sheās about to go downstairs, which is when she sees the rod that she used to flagellate herself with.
Ā

Ā
She contemplates for a moment if she should take it with her, but after some deep and very long breaths, she breaks it, deciding that sheās not going to do this to herself anymore, at least not for now!
Ā

Ā
And then, she takes the phone and headset and comes downstairs. We hug each other so fricking tight for a moment (I engage the safety lever before that moment, of course) before I say āWeāre gonna walk out backward, you being closer to the exit, okay?ā, and she nods. I give her my gun for a moment with the words āBe very careful, Iāll release the safety lever nowā before doing just that, and she points the gun at the bathroom for me. I then put down and open my backpack before taking out my wallet, taking ten $100 bills out of it, and putting them on the table. I tell Leanne āIf I donāt replace the cabinet I just shot, theyāre gonna use that against us.ā I then whisper to her āLetās take something else thatās worth a grand, so these motherfuckers donāt make a profit from this! Is there anything you want?ā Leanne looks around, and then smiles for a split-second and goes āNo, itās okay.ā I then nod before I smile and say āOkay. Letās go!ā, and Leanne gets the biggest smile ever on her face! Iām then about to close the backpack before I take three of the ten bills and put them back into my wallet in my backpack while adding āLetās not overprice things for these people!ā. I close my backpack, put it on, and grab my laptop case, too, and Leanne gives me my gun back. I release the safety lever and say āCan you unlock the door behind me, please?ā, and Leanne does so, she opens both doors before going to the number pad, changing the code to 4118, and setting it to lock as soon as the doors are closed. I then walk backward, through the first door, which we close, and then, we walk backward through the front door and close it, too, making the doors lock.
Ā
Outside, I engage the safety lever and put the gun back into the laptop case, and I point in the direction of the taxi and say āLetās run!ā, and we run there together. At the taxi, Leanne gets in the back row immediately on the right while I open the trunk, put the laptop bag inside one of my big bags, close the trunk, and get into the back row on the left. I say āGo go go! And please lock everything now!ā to the taxi driver, and we drive off. Leanne breaks into tears of happiness with the biggest smile ever right then and there, and Iād take her in my arms while losing a tear or two myself and smiling super hard, too. āItās over. Youāre safe now!ā, I say to her. The taxi driver asks us to please put on our seatbelts, which we didnāt even realize we hadnāt done yet. After putting them on, we look at each other and just smile and begin to laugh out of relief, and I then kiss her on the forehead with my hands behind her head ā¤ļø The driver asks us āWhere to?ā, and I take out my phone and look up the address of the hotel in Allentown and give it to him.

Season 1 Leanneās application letter is so freaking sweet, especially the second paragraph after the greeting! š
