Emma's treacherous boyfriend dropped the bad news that he was cutting her loose, but only in a metaphorical sense -- the ropes would continue to radically restrict her mobility and that of Shay as well. Although Emma knew that she was well rid of him, this insight wasn't helpful to the bound and gagged women awkwardly struggling in the confined space of a sunken bathtub. They both stretched their bare feet over the tub's edge in futile attempts to escape it and Shay desperately contorted her body backward until it was clear that they'd remain trapped until a rescuer appeared.
