Clean No Longer: Joy and Annie:
The Cult have prepped Joy to be Amity’s vessel. She is adorned in
flowers and a brides dress. She is a clean vessel ready for the
taking. Annie, Chance, Abdi and Nadia have worked out a play to
blow things up once Annie and Chance have gotten Joy. But things
never go as clean as the plan. Annie & Chance sneak up to property.
Chance is moving slowly, liked an enthralled person, towards the
house. Vera sees her and says NO and other join her. Chance is
captured by the deputy. Annie cannot get through to Abdi & Nadia
and so she runs to the house and gives up the plan in order to save
Joy. While Pop two other cult members search the tunnels, Annie is
kept outside. Abdi & Nadi blow the charge beneath the statue, right
before the ceremony begins. The destruction of the statue and
freeing of the bugs, breaks the enthrallment and the people begin
to run. Joy stabs Augustin and leaves. Annie finds Joy and they are
reunited.
They get back on the road. Annie discovers a Misery book and begins
to read to Joy. Annie is taken away into it ‘s world. They enter
Canada and Annie sees a poster for a home health nurse. Annie and
Joy have the run of the place. Joy is slowly coming around. But she
will not talk about Maine, doesn’t want to change her hair color,
is watching things in French and denying phone calls. Annie and the
voices in her head are suspicious. She looks in Joy’s drawing book
and is horrified. She suspects Joy has been implanted with Amity.
She drugs her to get answers. Joy denies it and tries to run off.
Annie drowns her and returns to the house in a daze. She finds a
letter to her from Joy. It says that she was going away and working
with a lawyer for emancipation. Distraught Annie runs to the water
and revives Joy.
We see a happy Joy and Annie having fun, driving, getting ice cream
and more. Joy sketches a perfect likeness of the house calling it
the Laughing Place. They go to a book signing for Misery’s Love. We
suspected things, but here they were confirmed. We see Annies
mother and father in the crowd. A man asks if Joy’s seat is taken
and Annie says yes. As Paul Sheldon begins to speak we see the seat
is empty. Joy died and Annie totally broke mentally. Both of them
Mother & Child/Sister & Step-sister had blood on their hands and
neither got out clean.
King Connections:
The connections to Misery are clear with three of Paul Sheldon’s
books Misery’s Quest, Misery’s Paradise, and Misery’s Love.
Misery’s Quest is the first book in the series. Misery’s Paradise
falls towards the end and Misery’s Love was the book before
Misery’s Child (that sent Annie over the edge) source data can be
found here. We had it confirmed from
Pop that the Castle Lake area is a Thinny. This is mentioned in
many of King’s works. So our choice of book and audio book is
Wizard and Glass (fyi this is what Amazon’s proposed Dark Tower
series will start off being based on).
Here is a link to the Book and Audiobook.
