Chapter 27 Summary: “The Manipulator”

Zade seems to be in a depressed mood, so Adeline invites him to sit on her bed. She massages his neck, and he tells her that he was unable to save a young girl earlier that day. Though he arrived on time, the kidnappers killed her before he could intervene. Adeline tries to comfort Zade, but he cannot shake his mood. Though Adeline tries to be intimate with Zade, he refuses, saying he is consumed by thoughts of his failure.

Adeline gets a phone call from her mother as she and Daya get ready for Satan’s Affair. Her mother asks about Adeline and Daya’s Thanksgiving plans, but Adeline starts asking her about Mark Williams and his father, Frank. Adeline’s mother accuses Adeline of being a sex worker based on her connection to Mark Williams, but she tells Adeline that Frank was a good friend to Gigi and John. She remembers that Mark and Sera were friends until Gigi’s murder, and Sera once told her about Frank tackling Gigi and saying something about betrayal. Daya wonders why Adeline did not tell her mother about Zade, and she asks Adeline what Zade is planning with Mark Williams. Per Zade’s request, Adeline does not tell Daya anything.
