The butcher of Lodz, the Nazi killer who killed the bat lady’s father and pretended to be a Kasselton’s EMT when Mickey and his family were in an accident, was shown in a pic to Mickey by the bat lady at the end of the last show. Mickey was puzzled by this revelation since the guy hadn’t aged a bit.
However, still no sign of Ashley, and not even the bat lady had any leads. Mickey got it; there was some connection between the octopus guy, the blue butterfly, Ashley’s abduction, and the death of Dylan Shakes, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
What Happened in ‘Harlan Coben’s Shelter’ Episode 4?
In “Phantom Threads, ”The Bat Lady Mickey encountered in the last show was none other than the one and only Lizzy Sobek. She describes the Butcher of Lodz as a monster who killed her father and disappeared Mickey’s father.
She hands Mickey a photo, and he recognizes the EMT who helped his dad after the crash. When Mickey presents the photo to Spoon and Ema, they can’t believe that the Butcher from the 1940s is a Kasselton’s EMT and hasn’t aged a bit. Mickey’s teacher says it’s true that the guy in the picture is not the Butcher when he shows her the photo.
She shows him a different backstory in which the Butcher plays a minor role. Mickey now sees that his pals were correct and the Bat Lady had tricked him. But he is certain that he saw the guy in the picture on the day it all went wrong.
Rachel’s relationship with Ashely is also revealed, and he makes her spill the beans. Shira, Mickey’s aunt, and Hannah get back together as they recall their first kiss at the prom. Ema obtains the main role in “The Phantom of the Opera” after she and Spoon try out for the role.
As she and Mickey investigate the night of the accident, they find that Mickey’s dad was taken away in an ambulance with a unique sign. They track down the icon and ask about the EMT only to learn that an ambulance was stolen the day before and that no one was ever sent to the hospital.
While investigating Mrs. Kent going missing, Spoon learns that Dr. Kent has a file on Dylan Shakes, in which the stuff about his dad getting hit is documented. As the last show’s cliffhanger shown, despite appearances to the contrary, Ashely is very much alive. Mickey learns what became of her in this episode.
When Mickey asked about Ashley, Ashley going missing was the first thing Rachel pretended she didn’t recall. She reassured Mickey that it was likely that Ashely had dropped out of school due to feeling left out.
Mickey becomes upset with Rachel because he believes she lied to him about emptying Ashley’s locker after she vanished. Rachel suggests that Mickey come over to her place later that night so that they may talk about what occurred in more detail, without any interruptions.
She gives him the stuff about Ashley’s final day out in public. With Rachel and the rest of the squad, she had gone to cheer practice. Mickey also noticed her presence but decided not to remain around to see out what transpired.
Rachel says the team’s female members made fun of Ashley because of her provocative dancing skills. Ashleigh fled in shame, but Rachel felt responsible and decided to pursue her. Rachel ran across Ashely and the two guys who had abducted her along the road.
The kidnappers were taken aback by her surprise appearance. Taking advantage of the situation, Ashley kicked one of them while Rachel assaulted the other to free Ashley. Both the girls and their captors escaped.
Rachel realizes that Ashley is in danger, but she doesn’t know who wants to take her or why. Rachel suggests the latter refuge when she mentions wanting to escape Kasselton. Asher’s dad is seldom home, so no one will suspect anything if she starts staying at Rachel’s.
Mickey is pleased to hear that Ashely is safe and sound and has returned home, but he doesn’t have much time to reflect on this development. The octopus-tattooed guy who assaulted Rachel before gains entry to the home.
To prevent Rachel and Mickey from calling for aid, he disables the power and the phone line. As he approaches Ashley, Mickey dashes forward to intervene. The show ends on this cliffhanger, allowing viewers to speculate about Mickey’s future and whether or not the guy with the octopus tattoo will take him out.
Mickey’s history teacher, Mrs. Friedman, files a complaint against the Bat Lady, getting the cops involved that turns up nothing in the backyard. The Bat Lady decides to track down Mrs. Friedman and give her a heads-up if she keeps butting in.
Mrs. Friedman confronts her about altering Luther’s portrait to make him resemble the Butcher of Lodz and about murdering the PT instructor. Ashley was exposed as one of the girls trafficked by the PT instructor, who was shown to be a person selling people by the Bat Lady. Therefore, she saved the planet by taking him out.
This background on Ashley’s PT instructor sheds light on her situation. First of all, we now understand why she was being so secretive and why she gave us a new name for her parents. She had escaped her captors by creating a new name and used it to conceal herself.
However, the PT instructor had identified her and had sent kidnappers to get her. The guy with the octopus tattoo who is pursuing Ashley is likely a member of the bad guys trading people who are attempting to return Ashley to the jail where she was first held.
