Reply to comment by Dismal-Canaryz in Just finished The Silent Patient and have only one nagging question… *contains spoilers* by playboypink

I think you’re right, that is the most plausible explanation. I just really disliked the way it was done, and felt it came at an odd time in the book for it to not be explored further! IMO Jean-Felix should have been made out to be more manipulative if we’re supposed to assume/believe that he’s trying to control her in that moment

Yeah.. that's a good point, it is a rather cheap way to build tension in that moment.
