Maybe life insurance on her hubby and kids. Or mayabe some kind of government compensation to people whose immediate family were departed.

So John burned down the house that the Garveys were supposed to rent (the seer / medium guy said he was going to rent out the 2nd floor). As a result they moved in next door to him instead. Just in time to meet Evie before she disappears . I happen to like these circular interconnections .

Stephen King often describes characters with a "shiteatting grin". I know understand what he means by that, the actor playing John does it perctly.

Criticism is fine. What's really weird is people who say they hate something and yet here they are, posting in the comment section of a review of a show they supposedly hate. When I hate something or just find it boring or stupid, I don't seek out sites discussing it. It stops being something that I devote my precious…

My first reaction was that Evie was somehow descended from this woman. Only to realize on second thought that it would be unlikely considering Evie's ethnic heritage.

It's called "hate-watching". First world problems and such.

Amen to that! She didn't seem to like the show very much .

This theory is inconsistent with John finding the car running with music blaring, locked doors and Evie's bag and phone inside (I didn't notice if there was stuff from the other girls there).
