Doubles as Fridge Horror, but, Dr. Heiter's past as the lead surgeon in separating Siamese twins. That's not a throwaway line, that's his backstory. Given how rare it is for both twins to survive the separation (or just survive period), and how common it is for both to die, it's not a stretch that operating on pair after pair after pair of conjoined babies would desensitize a man to human death and suffering and fuck him up more than a bit. Madness may have been his only option.
It also lends some credence to having him use it as a pet. He probably realistically doesn't expect it to last his whole lifetime anyway, as evidenced by his plan to get rid of the "Jenny tail".
Considering that Heiter killed police officers that had warrants, I think it's safe to assume that Lindsay didn't have to wait too long for help to arrive.
Thus; She'll be fine (albeit in need of some facial reconstructive surgery and some good therapy from a mental health professional (and one for the therapist as well)).
What if one of the centipede's components wound up vomiting (and it's astonishing that none of them did during all this)? They'd very likely drown.
The last paragraph in Fridge Brilliance was quite hopeful. However, it could also end in Hope Spot as she could either die from sepsis before the other cops arrive or, even worse, the cops don't show up at all for some reason. Think about that.
The American justice system often targets people of color and the mentally ill, how many of the prisoners in Third Sequence were put there under false or exaggerated charges?
