Girl Finds Out Her Mother Kept Her Sick on Purpose For 23 Years And Kills Her

In 2015, Lacey calls 911 because nobody is  answering at her neighbor Dee Dee's house and she’s worried because her Facebook page had some  really disturbing posts. While the police get on their way, Lacey’s mother Mel enters Dee Dee's  house through a window and finds a disturbing sight. Minutes later the detectives come in and  find Dee Dee dead on a bed, but the daughter is nowhere to be found.

This all started seven years  ago. Dee Dee lives with her sick daughter Gypsy, who is wheelchair-bound. After the devastation  caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Habitat for Humanity gets them a new home in Missouri in 2008  and they get interviewed for it.

Gypsy tells the camera that her mom is her best friend. Because  of Gypsy’s condition, they have a very strict routine: Dee Dee regularly shaves Gypsy's head  and prepares dinner by blending it and injecting it into Gypsy's stomach through a tube. When it’s  time for bed, Gypsy uses a sleep apnea machine, and once the girl is asleep Dee Dee takes a  medicine called “sleepy baby” from a closet full of meds.

They also sleep on the same bed. The next  day, their neighbor Lacey visits Gypsy and offers her a makeover. While they have fun together, the  girls bond, but Dee Dee is always spying on them.

Gypsy shares that her father used to make fun  of her walking before she got the wheelchair, although she doesn’t really remember it. After  Lacey leaves, Dee Dee forces Gypsy to remove all the makeup. The next day, they go out for a walk  and meet the other neighbors.

Dee Dee chats with Mel and keeps on mentioning how hard it’s to  take care of Gypsy because she has paraplegia, epilepsy, anemia, and a heart murmur. At  that moment Lacey offers Gypsy some soda but Dee Dee rushes to stop her, informing everyone  that Gypsy is allergic to sugar. Sometime later at the mall, Gypsy asks her mom for a necklace and  Dee Dee steals it for her.

At the last moment, she notices Mel saw everything. Later Dee Dee tries to  explain herself to Mel, but she doesn’t take her seriously. While Dee Dee is away, Gypsy uses her  mom’s laptop to look for things like “boyfriend kiss”, making sure to delete the browser history  when she’s done.

Dee Dee worries about her reputation if Mel decides to talk, so she decides  to throw a party for all the neighbors. Gypsy gets to meet other teenagers and Dee Dee talks  to every single neighbor to befriend them, but Mel still doesn’t buy her friendly act. While Dee  Dee tries to win Mel over, Gypsy grabs a cupcake and eats it, but Dee Dee sees her and rushes to  inject her with an EpiPen before leaving for the hospital.

Moments later, Gypsy overhears Dee Dee  having a strange talk with the doctor. When they leave the hospital, Mel shows up to give Dee Dee  her forgotten wallet and finally understands the terrible circumstances that her neighbors are in,  so they agree to leave bad decisions in the past and have a fresh start. That night while Dee Dee  is asleep, Gypsy leaves the bed, revealing she can actually walk.

Remembering the conversation with  the doctor, she goes to the kitchen and eats some whipped cream with an EpiPen ready, but nothing  happens. She isn’t allergic to sugar at all and her mother has been lying about it. Gypsy then  returns to bed and an awake Dee Dee scolds her for walking instead of asking her for help.

As months  pass, Gypsy gets more daring and starts sneaking out of bed to secretly watch Youtube on the laptop  while eating sweets and drinking soda. One night she feels pain in her teeth, caused by all the  sugar she’s consumed in secret. The next morning, Dee Dee wakes Gypsy up to inform her she’s  been named the community's Child of the Year.

At that moment Dee Dee notices Gypsy's teeth  issues and gets excited over the possibility of another underlying condition. They go to  see Gypsy’s pediatrician Doctor Harley and Dee Dee says Gypsy's acid reflux has returned,  causing the teeth decay. While Harley calls a gastroenterologist Chandra for a consult, Dee  Dee steals his prescription pad.

Doctor Chandra comes over to check on Gypsy and asks her to  make an urgent dentist appointment, however Dee Dee wants to treat the acid reflux first.  Getting suspicious, Chandra asks for Gypsy's medical records, but Dee Dee informs her that they  were destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. Before Chandra can say more, Dee Dee hurries to take her  daughter away.

Afterward Chandra asks Harley if he’s confirmed Gypsy's medical history, which  he didn’t. Meanwhile Dee uses the pad to forge some prescriptions and get more medicine from a  pharmacy. Sometime later, Gypsy is brushing her teeth when a rotten tooth comes out, causing her  to bleed all over the sink.

After this incident Dee Dee starts giving her the triple amount of  medicine. Eventually Dee Dee allows Gypsy to spend some time with Lacey, who introduces her  to her friends. At first the girls finds her a bit weird but soon they accept her in the group. 

Gypsy explains her mouth is ugly because she’s been eating sweets in secret, and the girls  sympathize with escaping from parents’ rules. Meanwhile Chandra starts calling several hospitals  to learn more about Gypsy's medical history, but she doesn’t get clear answers so she calls Child  Protection Services. When Dee Dee sees the car at her doorstep, she immediately forces Gypsy to take  “Sleepy Baby” to make her seem slow-witted.

Agent Allison takes a look around the house while Dee  Dee explains her daughter has the mental capacity of a seven-year-old. Then Allison asks to speak  with Gypsy alone, yet Dee Dee still spies from the doorway. Allison tries asking Gypsy questions  about her home situation, and since Gypsy is dizzy and disoriented, her lack of understanding  proves Dee Dee’s story.

Next Allison asks about some questionable paperwork so Dee Dee uses the  hurricane excuse again. In the end Allison leaves without taking any actions because she hasn’t  found anything suspicious in this home. Afterward Dee Dee covers the house’s windows to make them  blurry.

Later Gypsy is taken to the dentist and when she hears the word “extraction” she says  she doesn’t want to do it, but Dee Dee forces her. When Gypsy wakes up from the anesthesia,  she’s at home and she discovers most of her teeth have been removed, causing her to cry in front of  the mirror. During lunch, Dee Dee starts making exciting plans for the Child of the Year event. 

Gypsy doesn’t want to go because she feels ugly, but a furious Dee Dee yells that she’s  going anyway. On the day of the event, Dee Dee surprises Gypsy with some dentures. Gypsy  loves them, but finds it weird that her mother didn’t give them to her earlier.

When they’re  called to the stage, they receive a check for five thousand dollars in financial assistance. Dee  Dee says Gypsy is shy and speaks in her behalf, then they sing together. Sometime later Chandra  calls Dee Dee to bring Gypsy to do a check-up, and a reluctant Dee Dee must accept to avoid  suspicions.

While Dee Dee is taken to the front desk to do the paperwork, Chandra talks to Gypsy  in private and tries to convince her that she isn't allergic to sugar. She even offers a can  of coke, but Gypsy refuses to drink. Months pass and it’s now 2011.

Dee Dee has become an expert at  collecting donations both through traditional mail and a GoFundMe page. She also keeps receiving some  mysterious checks. At night, Gypsy continues to sneak out of bed to use the computer.

She learns  about Fantasticon and cosplay, so she convinces her mother to take her to the event. While getting  the tickets, Dee Dee says Gypsy was born in 1995, which confuses the girl because she thought  she was born in 1993. Gypsy has a lot of fun and even runs into some of the neighbors.

A man  named Russ tries to flirt with Dee Dee, but she feels uncomfortable and rushes to the bathroom.  Now that she’s finally alone, Gypsy uses the chance to chat with a guy called Scott while  pretending she’s eighteen. They end up chatting a lot and Scott even picks her up so she can sit  in the DeLorean for a picture.

Unfortunately their fun time is interrupted by Dee Dee, who announces  they’re going home. Before they leave, Russ shows up again and tries to get Dee Dee's attention by  saying he also had a son in a wheelchair who died, but Dee Dee turns him down once more. While  Dee Dee is distracted, Scott asks Gypsy for her Facebook account and finds it weird that an  eighteen-year-old only has a shared account with her mother.

That night Gypsy decides to open her  own Facebook account in secret, but she doesn’t know what birth year to choose. She checks her  mother's purse and is shocked to see she was born in 1991, meaning she’s actually nineteen.  Angry, she decides to steal some donation money.

The next day at a gas station, she buys a cell  phone, which she keeps hidden from her mom. Sometime later, Dee Dee receives a call from Russ  and wonders how he got her number, but he’s so nice that she lets him call him regularly and they  grow close. At the same time Gypsy starts chatting with Scott through her new phone and they also  grow close.

Gypsy tells him about her “friends”, who are the hospital staff, and Scott shares  about his work with the elderly. One day Scott even sends her a wig through mail and Gypsy gets  to the mailman before her mother could see it. Now she can privately pretend she has beautiful hair. 

After a whole month of friendly conversations, Russ offers to help Dee Dee around the house  and with Gypsy. Dee Dee doesn’t take it well and immediately hangs up. Meanwhile Gypsy goes  outside to use the phone and is seen by Lacey, who agrees to keep her secret.

Gypsy shares her  secret Facebook username and tells Lacey she met Prince Charming, so Lacey believes Gypsy may be  just playing around. That night, Gypsy receives a message from Scott informing her that he’s  in the emergency room and won’t be able to text. Worried about him, Gypsy puts on the wig and  leaves the wheelchair behind to visit him.

At the hospital not even Harley recognizes her. Scott is  shocked to see her walk and after Gypsy asks her to keep the secret, she starts talking to him like  her mom does, which is very infantilizing. When she hears they haven’t given him medicine because  he’s been drinking, she says he doesn’t have to tell the truth if he’s sick.

At home, Dee Dee  wakes up and freaks out when she notices Gypsy is gone. She finds a note in which Gypsy says she ran  away with her Prince Charming and signs with her real age. When Scott is released, he goes home and  Gypsy comes along.

She keeps saying she’ll take care of him and they share a kiss. At that moment  someone knocks on the door: it’s Dee Dee, who has come to pick Gypsy up. At first Gypsy refuses to  go, but when Dee Dee starts saying she’s having an anxiety attack, Gypsy agrees to leave.

On her way  out, Dee Dee tells Scott that Gypsy is fourteen. As soon as they get home, Dee Dee gets rid of  the wig and forces Gypsy back on the wheelchair. More time passes and it’s 2013.

At the hospital, a  doctor tells Dee Dee she has type two diabetes and must receive daily shots. Dee Dee asks the doctor  to reach Gypsy how to help her with the shots, that way she’s making her health dependent on  Gypsy staying home. When Gypsy’s birthday comes, Dee Dee insists Gypsy was born in 1995 and  that 1991 was a printing error.

As a gift, Gypsy receives a pair of guinea pigs. Later  Lacey visits Gypsy and mention she met a guy on a Christian dating site. Curious, Gypsy asks her  to show her the website.

Meanwhile Dee Dee gets a call from Gypsy's father, who wants to wish his  daughter a happy birthday. He seems a sweet guy, which proves Dee Dee’s stories about him being  uncaring and having abandoned them are another lie. Dee Dee tells him that Gypsy is very ill and  doesn’t have much time to live, then she hangs up on him.

Another call comes from the hospital to  inform Dee Dee that since Gypsy is now eighteen, any invasive procedures require her consent. Dee  Dee tells the nurse she’ll talk to her lawyer, then she goes to kick Lacey out. Once they’re  back inside, Dee Dee yells at Gypsy for leaving the house and forbids her from seeing Lacey  again.

That night, Gypsy steals a dollar from the donation bag, and it’s revealed she’s been  doing this for a while. By stealing a little money at the time, Dee Dee doesn’t notice and Gypsy  gets to save in secret. The next day they go to see a lawyer because Dee Dee wants to obtain  legal guardianship of her daughter.

Gypsy answers the lawyer’s questions the way her mom taught her,  and since she sounds competent enough, the lawyer announces that Dee Dee will have to convince a  judge that Gypsy can’t take care of herself. Later at the mall, Dee Dee needs to sit down because  she feels dizzy and her ankles are swelling, consequence of her diabetes. Gypsy volunteers to  go to the pharmacy to get some medicine, but first she stops at a tech store to buy her own laptop  with the money she saved, which she then hides in the car.

Afterward they go home and Dee Dee forces  Gypsy to give her the injection. That night, Gypsy joins the dating site that Lacey told her about,  making sure to wear a wig for the profile picture. The next day, Dee Dee scolds Lacey for putting  ideas in Gypsy’s head.

Suddenly Dee Dee faints and must be taken back to the house, where Gypsy  takes care of her. They watch “Twilight” together and Dee Dee covers Gypsy’s eyes when the main  couple has their first time. Later at night, Gypsy discovers she has messages from ten men on  the dating website and freaks out a bit when she sees a guy sent her a dirty eggplant picture. 

Then she starts chatting with a guy named Nick, who calls her beautiful. Sometime later Dee  Dee contacts her lawyer to ask about a “power of attorney”. The lawyer explains such a document  would only give Dee Dee power over Gypsy if she becomes incapacitated and that Gypsy must sign  her consent as well.

Knowing she can manipulate her into it, Dee Dee agrees. Days pass and Gypsy  continues to chat with Nick in secret. Eventually they meet on webcam and Gypsy tells him about her  health problems.

In return, Nick confesses he has multiple personality disorder and says his other  side is darker. The next day Dee Dee receives the “power of attorney” documents in the mail and  starts planning. She pretends to feel really sick and makes Gypsy take care of her.

While  she’s fake-suffering in bed, Dee Dee tells Gypsy horrible stories about the world and scares her  into signing the documents, claiming it’s a way to protect them both. Afterward she calls Nick  and has a breakdown as she tells him the truth about her situation, saying she’s been trapped  all her life. To distract her, Nick shows her a very dirty drawing.

At first Gypsy freaks out  but then she hears him out. The next morning Dee Dee wakes up and sees Gypsy is gone, only to  find her in another room sleeping with her laptop. Furious, Dee Dee takes the computer and smashes it  with a hammer.

Then she screams at Gypsy, who says she’ll just get another one. This makes Dee Dee  angrier and drags Gypsy to their common bed, where she ties her daughter’s hands. A struggling Gypsy  spits on her mother's face, causing Dee Dee to pull away as she has a breakdown.

Then Gypsy tries  to leave, but she hears Dee Dee’s pleading words and decides to stay. That night Gypsy texts  Nick sharing what happened. He promises to always protect her and teaches her how to use her  hand for pleasure.

The story then jumps to 2015, revealing that Gypsy has indeed gotten a new  computer and uses it to have dirty meetups with Nick online that include costumes. Nick complains  that they’ve been together for two years and never met in person, so Gypsy makes a plan. In the  morning, Gypsy tries to convince Dee Dee to take her to Disney.

However Dee Dee’s health has been  getting worse because she refuses to take insulin or exercise. She snaps at Gypsy and tells her  to be happy with what they have, which is ironic because the house is currently full of random  hoarding and trash bags. Meanwhile in Wisconsin, Nick is starting a new job.

His boss shows him  how to make a pizza, but Nick accidentally drops the food twice and the boss ends up sending him  to be a walking advertisement by the road. When he returns home, he calls Gypsy and they share  another dirty game. They pretend to be characters that want to kill an evil stepmother, but it’s  clear they’re implying this is about Dee Dee and that helps them finish faster.

The next day,  Dee Dee offers Gypsy to take her see the new Cinderella movie. Gypsy is excited and immediately  sends Nick a bus ticket plus a fancy shirt, that way he can join them on the premiere and cause a  good impression. She even teaches him what to say, which he has to write down.

When the day comes,  Dee Dee makes Gypsy wear her Cinderella costume. At the theater, Gypsy and Nick are excited to  see each other in person for the first time, but when Nick approaches her he fails his opening  words and Dee Dee thinks he’s a creep stranger, so she takes Gypsy away from him. When they finally  sit to watch the movie, Nick tries to sit behind them, however Dee Dee sees him and drags Gypsy  to sit somewhere else.

Then Nick tries again, but Dee Dee repeats the same process, so Nick  ends up leaving. Worried, Gypsy pretends to need the restroom and finds Nick in the corridor, so  they rush to hide in the bathroom and share their first kiss. Then they lay on the floor and do the  naughty really quickly before Gypsy returns to her mother’s side.

Once the movie is over, Nick tries  to approach them again on the way out, causing Dee Dee to yell at him before dragging Gypsy away.  When they arrive home, Nick calls Dee Dee and tells her everything, hanging up before she has  the chance to speak. Dee Dee looks calm after the call, however she sends Gypsy to bed and ties her  up as punishment.

In the evening, Dee Dee releases Gypsy for dinner and she uses the chance to text  Nick, asking him to bring out his darker side out. Nick gets on a bus and reads the texts as he  imagines Gypsy is there with him, asking him to kill her mother. The next day at the mall, Dee  Dee needs to sit again because of the pain in her feet.

Using the bathroom excuse, Gypsy goes to a  store and pretends she needs a gift for her dad, who is a hunter. The clerk advises her on what  knife to choose. Dee Dee realizes Gypsy is taking too long and goes looking for her, but she’s at  the toy stand and the knife is hidden.

That night, Gypsy calls Nick and plays with the knife while  they agree on a plan. The following night, Gypsy leaves the bed as soon as Dee Dee  falls asleep and packs her suitcase. Soon Nick arrives and Dee Dee gets killed in her own  bed.

Then Gypsy and Nick escape in a cab and go to hide in a motel. Gypsy feels an anxiety attack  coming, so she takes some medicine before getting her costume and the camera so she can record  their naughty time together. When they're done, they cuddle and discuss their future, however Nick  isn’t very good at chatting in person and Gypsy starts realizing he may not be the guy she thought  he was.

Then a flashback takes the story to 1991, showing Dee Dee giving birth to Gypsy.  Her mother Emma soon enters the room and takes the baby from her arms, already giving her  instructions on how to do things. Later at home, Emma keeps on criticizing Dee Dee’s motherhood  skills, especially when Dee Dee insists Gypsy may be sick.

Emma is sure the baby is fine, but  they go to the hospital anyway. The doctor informs them that Gypsy is smaller than she should  be at two months old, but it’s very common. She only needs some supplements and for Dee Dee  to feed her more.

Even while the doctor talks, Emma tries to control the conversation. In 1993,  the cops come looking for Dee Dee and arrest her for check fraud. Emma brings Gypsy over so she can  watch her mother be taken away.

Later in court, Dee Dee gets sentenced to six months in prison.  She tries to say goodbye to Gypsy, but Emma doesn’t let her. In prison, Dee Dee sends letters  to her daughter, but never receives anything in return.

When Dee Dee is finally released, she  rushes home but Gypsy starts crying when she sees her. It’s clear that Emma hasn’t been following  Dee Dee’s instructions and she even says Gypsy has been happier with her. Later Dee Dee insists  Gypsy is sick, but Emma assures her the baby is fine and proves it with the thermometer.

However  Dee Dee thinks Emma wants to make her look like a bad mother and secretly gives her some medicine. In 1997, Emma's health is deteriorating. She’s wheelchair-bounded and depends on Dee Dee  for most things, yet she refuses to go to the hospital.

Eventually a doctor comes to see her and  informs Dee Dee that her mother's pain tolerance has failed, so she only has a few days to live.  The doctor calls Dee Dee a saint for taking care of an old person and a child at the same time,  which Dee Dee really appreciates. Afterward Emma calls for Dee Dee, but instead of helping, Dee  Dee turns up the volume on the TV and watches a movie with Gypsy.

Later Emma starts to struggle  to breathe, so she tells Dee Dee that she made it impossible for her to live, then she dies. Hurt by  such words, Dee Dee runs to Gypsy and promises she does love her. Sometime later, Gypsy wants to play  on the trampoline with her cousins, but her mom doesn’t let her.

As soon as Dee Dee is distracted,  Gypsy runs outside and plays on the trampoline anyway. Unfortunately she slips and falls on the  ground, where she doesn’t move. Dee Dee runs to her side while her sister calls the ambulance. 

When Gypsy is released from the hospital, she’s on a wheelchair, and Dee Dee makes her stay on it  even though Gypsy is better now. A few days later, Dee Dee announces she can’t buy her mother’s  house, so they have no choice but to leave. Back to Gypsy and Nick, they check out of the motel  and go to have breakfast.

When two cops enter the diner, Gypsy begins to panic because they still  have the knife. She tries to take the anxiety medicine and accidentally drops the bottle, so a  cop picks it up for her and reads Dee Dee’s name on the label. Then the couple decides to mail the  knife to themselves in Wisconsin to avoid security checks.

When the couple makes it to the bus  station, they discover that Nick didn’t reserve a seat for Gypsy too. This bus is full, so they have  no choice but to book tickets for the next one, which leaves in two days. They return to the same  motel but their room is now taken, so they end up in one with twin beds.

Nick watches a very violent  movie and Gypsy hates it. That night when they do the dirty, she doesn’t have a good time either.  Afterward Gypsy goes to the vending machine for a snack and sees a mother with her child, which  makes her feel so guilty that she runs back to her room in tears.

Eventually the couple makes it to  Wisconsin and are picked up by Nick’s mom Kathy. On the ride home, Gypsy learns that Nick told  his family that she and her mother were homeless. Kathy begins to ask about Dee Dee, causing Gypsy  to experience flashbacks full of guilt.

At Nick’s home, Gypsy meets Kathy's boyfriend and is  given a tour. Soon she realizes that this isn’t anything like Nick promised: his room is  a creepy mess, there’s no food in the fridge, and his parents are always rude. Later the couple  goes to the supermarket and Gypsy pretends her leg is hurt so they can have an electric cart.

While  Nick distracts the employees, Gypsy steals food like her mother taught her, but this causes her  to see her in every corner. When they return home, Kathy asks about Dee Dee again and the guilt is  so strong that Gypsy rushes out of the room. She asks Nick for medicine, but they don’t have any. 

Gypsy cries as she reveals she wants to go back, saying they could live in her mother’s house after  the body is taken away. First they need to make it look like someone else killed Dee Dee, thus Nick  makes Gypsy post some disturbing messages on Dee Dee’s family Facebook so people could believe  they had a violent stalker. In Missouri, Lacey sees the posts, so she and Mel go to check the  house.

When nobody answers, they call the police, who soon find the body. In just a few minutes,  they trace the Facebook posts to Wisconsin. Back to the couple, they receive the envelope with the  knife and Gypsy asks Nick to show her where the lake is so they can get rid of it.

However Nick  says it’s too dark to go now, causing an argument. Their fight is interrupted by Kathy, who forces  them to join dinner. That night, Gypsy finds a note in Nick’s room with instructions on how to  treat a girl right, confirming everything she saw online wasn’t the real Nick.

At that moment  the cops surround the house and Gypsy panics, so she hides with Nick in the closet and they  agree to tell the truth because they didn’t do anything wrong. A SWAT quickly comes in  and arrests them both. Later at the station, Gypsy pretends she didn’t know her mother was  dead and starts to cry, although the detective doesn’t buy it.

In another room, Nick tells  another detective that he did stab Dee Dee so he could run away with Gypsy, clarifying it was  her idea. Kathy is also talking to the cops, explaining Nick has a history of mental illness  and that Gypsy probably manipulated him. In the end both Gypsy and Nick are sent to jail until  it’s time for the trial.

In the neighborhood, Mel and Lacey gather with the neighbors to light  some candles for Dee Dee and say goodbye. On the day of the trial, Mel and Lacey watch it on TV  and are shocked to see Gypsy walk. In court, Gypsy continues to say she didn’t do anything  and that she loved her mom, but her lawyer advises her to change the story or she’ll  be executed.

She thinks they can prove Gypsy was abused by presenting Dee Dee’s false medical  records, but because of the “power of attorney”, only Gypsy’s father can access them. Gypsy refuses  to call the man, still thinking he’s a bad person. Afterward the prison’s doctor removes her stomach  tube and announces Gypsy is the healthiest person in the building.

Later Gypsy calls Lacey and asks  her to visit her, saying she needs a friend. Lacey says she’ll think about it and hangs up. Feeling  desperate, Gypsy finally calls her dad and leaves a message.

Eventually Gypsy does get a visitor  and is shocked to see her father Rod with the medical records. Rod shows her all the medical  conditions Dee Dee invented through the years, then he explains he tried to visit Gypsy but Dee  Dee wouldn’t let him and kept moving around. He could only send some checks, which Dee Dee  cashed in secret.

Gypsy doesn’t believe him, so Rod shows her some pictures of him with  little Gypsy before Dee Dee took her away, causing her to have a breakdown. Now they have  the medical records, Gypsy’s lawyer tells the judge the girl had been abused and Dee Dee’s  death had been self-defense. She also asks for Gypsy and Nick to be judged separately since  their circumstances are different.

However the lawyer tells Gypsy in private that she’ll  have to admit she did it so they can ask for a deal. Lacey sees the lawyer’s interview on TV and  feels guilty for not seeing the signs of abuse, yet she doesn’t pick Gypsy’s calls. Mel sees her  daughter’s attitude and ends up going to visit Gypsy herself.

She tells Gypsy that sometimes  the only way out is through. After Mel leaves, Gypsy thinks about her last conversation with  her mother and their shared love, feeling guilty again. A flashback shows Nick’s arrival and how  Gypsy gave him the knife.

Then she pointed at the room and hid in the bathroom, where she could  still hear her mother’s screams. Nick came to find her with the knife and kissed her, so Gypsy had to  wash blood off the weapon and Nick’s skin. For a moment she was in shocked, but then she hugged  Nick and forced excitement about their future adventure.

They went to her room and did the dirty  on her bed with the plushies, which didn’t last much. Before leaving, Gypsy freed the guinea pigs  and took her grandmother’s ring. In the present, Gypsy is sent back to her jail and imagines Dee  Dee is there with her.

This story is based on a real crime: after a year of incarceration,  Gypsy pled guilty and was given a sentence of ten years. Nick was also found guilty and was  given a life sentence without a chance of parole.
