By the time the doctors arrive, Tessa is already convinced of one thing: this is her fault.

In Part 3, the story turns inward. Sitting in a hospital room with her sister and mother, Tessa carries crushing shame — believing her choices, her body, and one bad night are to blame for everything that’s happening.

As tests continue and specialists weigh in, the narrative begins to crack. What felt like a personal failure starts to look like something else entirely. When word comes that other women experienced the same symptoms — the same memory loss, the same violent illness — blame gives way to fear, anger, and uneasy relief.

But answers don’t bring closure. They bring new questions.

This episode explores what happens when responsibility dissolves, identity is shaken, and you’re forced to accept that your brain — your voice, your learning, your sense of self — may never work the same way again.
