* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: [[spoiler: Shannon]] loves the "Guarded" book series and talking to Amber online in a fan forum was a form of escapism for her after feeling like an outcast, which is why she was furious with the changes made in the film adaptation. Amber can tell her to "save the sob story", feeling no sympathy for a deranged criminal who has terrorized her for weeks.
