See, Betty, Vicki, and Colby don't just bring home traumatic memories of that night.
They bring home physical trauma too, what some would consider hard evidence.
It starts that night in the car.
Even though it's the middle of winter, they end up riding home with the air conditioning on because their skin feels so hot.
It looks like they've been badly sunburned.
By 1 a.m., Betty has dropped Vicki and Colby off at home.
Vicky covers her grandson's skin in baby oil to try and soothe the pain.
The burns have already started to blister, but the blisters are just the beginning.
Vomiting and uncontrollable diarrhea starts that night too, which leads to dehydration.
No matter how much water they drink, it never feels like enough.
Two days later, Vicki feels well enough to check on Betty at her home, and it's a good thing she does.
Betty is in terrible shape.
She's too weak to even get up and pour herself a glass of water.
She's hospitalized the next day.
Doctors have no idea what's wrong with her, but her symptoms are alarming.
About 50% of her hair falls out in clumps.
That's on top of the burns, blisters, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and weakness.
By some accounts, doctors put a biohazard warning outside Betty's door.
It gets to the point where they become concerned she might not survive.
which is actually what puts an end to the trio's secret pact.
