Remember that Fridge and Headscratchers pages do not conceal spoilers.
- Why does Perry want to go to counseling with Celeste? The answer is in real life. Many abusers go to therapy with their victim to learn better how to push their buttons. Perry didn't just want to placate Celeste, he wanted new ways to hurt her.
- Likewise, leaving is the most dangerous time for the victim. When Perry learns Celeste is planning to divorce him, he attacks her openly, and is only stopped by Bonnie pushing him to his death.
- Like stated in Fridge Brilliance, leaving is the most dangerous time for the victim. We know that Perry was angry enough to publicly attack Celeste after he found out she was planning to leave him, and in the book he had given her a concussion only days before. If she had gone back home with him that night…it’s probably best not to think about.
