This struck Andrew as like a little strange because he was like, okay, this guy invited me back to his apartment.

He offered me money for my company, which in my experience leads to one thing.

Yeah.

But instead, Dennis tied a cord around Andrew's feet and told him that he was afraid he might have come there to rob him.

Okay.

Once Andrew's ankles were secured, Dennis grabbed a necktie and wrapped it around Andrew's throat.

And he pulled it tightly and he just started admonishing him for going home with a stranger while he did this.

Now, had Dennis not loosened his grip at the first sign of panic from Andrew, it seems entirely likely that Andrew would have suffered the same fate as Stephen Holmes.

Absolutely.

But...

He did.

He loosened his grip.

He saw Andrew panic.

He loosened it a little bit.

I don't know what the intention was there.

But in that instant, Andrew used the opportunity to like turn out of his grasp or get himself out.

He grabbed a candlestick from the table and hurled it at Dennis.

The chaos of all of this also gave him the opportunity to remove the rope from around his ankles and he ran from the apartment.

That's so scary for all that to happen, like, to get away.

Now, about an hour later, the police come knocking on Dennis' door because Andrew had reported the whole thing.
