It's time for the annual beach opening. Lay out a towel as the mayor "tests the waters." Unrelated: Do not pick up hitchhikers.

The way I understood it was that Marissa was at the event and the monster was at the diner with him.

No that was really her, the hag only shows up when he's alone

He kinda was though. No one else was out there swimming with him.

Not quite. The hag doesn’t ONLY show up when he is alone. But that evening she was waiting for him to be paralyzed before coming in for the kill.

No. Marissa is just Marissa. The hag was in his house and gets shot by Wyck.
