Linda was in a daze. One moment, she was putting her cellphone away after talking to Joni, then the next moment, she was pummeled with half a lifetime of memories belonging to a 41-year old mother of two. The memories were too real to be fake, but she had no idea where they had come from. What was stranger yet was that these other memories told her that she was supposed to be Linda Madison. That's right - Madison, as in her friend Joni Madison, who (according to her new memories) was supposed to be her daughter. That was really fucked up for sure.
In another part of the DeVries house, Agatha sat on the living room sofa also in a daze. She remembered her life as Agatha Pierce and was stunned by the life she saw. It was exactly the kind of life that she predicted that Linda would lead many years from then, if she never dropped out of her Goth phase. And for the first time ever, she finally understood her daughter. Maybe she didn't totally agree with it, but it was like she saw things from a gothic point-of-view that made everything so much more clear.
