On the night of October 28th, 2018, Saskia's eyes fluttered open in the darkness, and they landed on her husband's laptop. The open screen was facing me. I saw what looked like a mostly naked back and butt with some light blue underpants on. Mike was turned away from her. He didn't see that she had woken up. She blinked against the blur of the computer light, trying to get her eyes to focus. I was so out of it. It was like I was in a dream, but I also knew that this was really serious. She fought to keep her eyes open. Her meds were pulling her to sleep. But as her mind shut down, something within her whispered. Remember this moment. Remember that screen. I don't know how I was able to do this, but I remember looking and I saw the name Chatterbait.
And then I remember seeing 1,600 followers. I didn't know what that meant, but I just knew. Just remember these things. These are significant. And I passed back out.
I'm Andrea Gunning, and this is Betrayal, Season 5, Episode 3. Dead Wait. The next time Saskia opened her eyes, it was morning, Sunday morning. The street outside was quiet, and daylight streamed through the blinds. But as she lay in bed, she could feel panic rising in her chest. I woke up feeling so scared, like petrified. Her mind was flooded by that underwater feeling and her body felt heavy as if she were unable to move. But those feelings were interrupted by the image of the person in their underwear and those words, chatterbait, 1600 followers. She remembered, what did it all mean? And what was Mike doing on his laptop? I still didn't know what was happening and I don't know what he knows. She had no memory of whether Mike had turned around and caught her looking before she blacked out again.
But that morning, Mike seemed normal. He came back in the room to get dressed. And he was like, I'm going to get the kids. At this point, three kids of theirs were staying with them.
