* GenreSavvy: Nobody tortures Rita, Larry, and Vic with the worst days of their respective lives. Though they all know it's a trap, Rita and Larry can't help but go along with it. Vic is too experienced to be fooled into playing along with the script, and as he says, he sees his worst day in his dreams every night, and resolves to be a better person because of what he did. So Nobody instead flips it back on him by [[spoiler:implying what happened isn't what Vic really thinks happened.]]
