How It All Goes Down
- Soon after Snuffles goes missing, something else disappears: Celia's eyeball.
- It's terrible. Somehow, while playing in the bathroom, Celia gets drain cleaner in her eye.
- Franklin blames Eva for leaving out the drain cleaner that weekend. (Was Mr. Snuffles down the drain?!)
- Kevin was supposed to be watching Celia, so Eva blames Kevin.
- This fight really drives Eva and Franklin apart.
- While Celia is in the hospital, Eva and Franklin tell Kevin to look after her and make sure she doesn't get teased at school.
- Kevin doesn't seem to care.
- With Celia in the hospital, Eva stays home a lot when not visiting Celia.
- Kevin starts playing flog the dolphin, with the door open, in plain sight, where Eva can see him do it.
- Later, Mary Woolford pays a visit.
- Mary's daughter, Laura (who hasn't been killed by Kevin yet), is upset because Kevin called her fat.
- Laura has an eating disorder, and thanks to Kevin's comment, she has relapsed into bulimia.
- Eva tells Mary to tell Laura to "suck it up" (23.153) and slams the door in her face.
- Celia returns home, and Eva won't leave her alone with Kevin for a second.
- Eva has to clean out Celia's crusty eye socket with a Q-tip and baby shampoo.
- One afternoon, she asks Celia how it happened. How did she get drain cleaner in her eye?
- Celia says, "I got something in eye. Kevin helped me wash it out" (23.165).
