And then when it turned on a dime, Nancy, and you know, what's interesting, it was only five minutes into the hike.

And I think that's fascinating because it tells me that he was impulsive, aggressive, and he could hardly wait.

If this was more thought out, he would have hiked a full hour, but no, it was five minutes in that is so arrogant that he manipulates her with the card and

Instigates hope.

I think that summarizes probably the entire relationship.

Nancy, it's like the Madonna whore complex where one person, usually these men have affairs where they have somebody who's a sex worker who is highly salacious, sexualized, sexually aggressive.

And that woman is allowed to be very sexual.

And then they have their wives that they keep at home.

And then the wife is expected to be virginal if she even smiles at another man.

He thinks, oh my God, she's cheating on me.

So it's kind of like the Madonna horror complex carried out in time.

And I want to guess that Gerhard is maybe like a highly sexually aggressive person.

So he married somebody who's a sex worker because he was probably out in those environments.

And this is what was familiar to him.

But can you imagine if

Ariel, having a friend, destabilized him so much that he wanted to kill her.

Imagine what he subjected the sex worker to.

I mean, I'm sure life was horrible for her.

And then calling his teenage son, Nancy, he was a teenager, saying, I tried to kill Ari, but she got away.

times did Gerhard burden his children with secrets, with abuse, with things that he said about their mothers.
