SBK is finally revealed – sort of
Wow!
Both Garrett and Madeline proceed to tell their sides of this saga.
To start, we see that Tessa was very sick one night around Christmas in 2002.

She had a fever and the whole family was worried about her.
Alison plays this off, showing very little concern about this mistake.
She may have even said WHOOPSIE, if Im not mistaken.
But this isnt your average whoopsie.
While Mitch is on the phone with their lawyer that same night, someone breaks into the Hawthorne mansion.
This presumed burglar quickly dismantles the homes security system and makes his way toward the massive staircase.
The rest of the family gathers and sees the stranger sprawled out on their staircase, not moving.
Mitch takes his pulse and determines the man is dead.
Then we see a small silver bell fall out of the mans pocket.
(Defending yourself from a well-known serial killer?
Seems like covering it up would be maybemoreof a problem, but I digress.)
At this point, Cam gets back from his drug bender and sneaks in the house.
Thats when he sees who wenowknow is Garret, dragging a body down the steps.
He turns around to grab the body and toss it in, but its gone.
The real SBK was, in fact,notdead.
Instead, he was awake and wielding a knife at Garrett.
NEXT: Garrett, what did you do?
This exchange explains why Garrett had the SBK knife.
Back in present day, Cam points out that this story so far doesnt quite add up.
Why was dads DNA on the belt?
Madeline explains the payroll files sent to the accountant still presented a major problem.
Mitchs accountant was David Morales Christinas father and the last known SBK murder victim.
This made Mitch a perfect SBK copycat.
Cam, Tessa, and Alison are enraged with Madeline.
They couldnt believe shed lied to them for so many years or encourage the murder of two men.
Someone is definitely messing with them, but who has the artistic ability to put THAT one together?
(Perhaps Sophie and Phyllis are working together on this one?)
Brady tries to convince Garrett to come clean.
Brady swears he will protect Garrett and do everything in his power to keep him out of jail.
Finally, towards the end of the hour, the audience is shown the truth behind this whole ordeal.
Unsurprisingly, Madeline orchestrated every single part of the story we saw.
Its a shocking reveal, but at the same time, not so shocking right?
Tune in next week for the two-hour finale and the end of ourAmerican Gothicjourney!
