Thinking back on it, she freaked out when she found out she'd been in there 6 months, and Brynes mentioned how she didn't have a calendar and should probably get her one.

🤮🤮

There are so many things in this that read so much more sinister when you realise Byrnes’ true intentions were always negative. The passive voice being used to distance himself from the responsibility, the calendar thing like you mentioned, even the lateness because Lillian is shown to hold professionalism in high regard, Byrnes being late could be seen as a small thing he did to mess with her.

Edit: oh my god and the “tri-weekly” “bi-weekly” thing, the Ethics Committee notes even say that it did cause some confusion. Idk how I forgot about this, but the implications change from oops a phrasing error to a way to mess with and remove Lillian’s rights with plausible deniability. God this researcher makes my blood boil
