    Summary

    At minute twenty-six, Matilda squints, her father giving her no other choice but to focus on the TV. She’s hurt, and she’s angry, she doesn’t want to watch this stupid game show—the camera cuts back and forth to her eyes, the TV. Rory is on the edge of her seat, wondering what’s going to happen next, even though something about it starts to feel a little familiar. They cut back to the TV one last time, music growing louder—

    It explodes. Under Matilda’s stare.

    Rory feels an icy, unpleasant sense of déjà vu, and then she starts to figure out exactly why Mama put this on.
