When an entire episode is focussed on one character and you can't take your eyes off the screen, you know that you've been watching someone a bit special, even awesome. Sissy Spacek has been around for ever but I've never paid her much attention. I never saw Coal Miner's Daughter nor Carrie. My bad. She must get some recognition for this performance which is mesmerising. I won't say more because that might spoil this treat for someone else.

What happens after she stabs the creepy guy and runs away from the bathroom? All I saw was that she ended up in a room with plenty of people. |

I'll come back to you on this. Need to get it sorted out in my mind because as you know she was using chess pieces to identify reality from her imagination and there was a "bit if a surprise" at the end |

What happens after she stabs the creepy guy and runs away from the bathroom? All I saw was that she ended up in a room with plenty of people . That "crowd of people" were friends, etc., at her wedding. She had relapsed at that point but escapes from that party to her bedroom and sees herself in an earlier time in her life, packing a bag to leave with Alan (which she never did), but then suddenly she finds herself at a funeral (whose ?). She continues to flit between realities and has an argument with her deceased husband during which she remembers where the bullets are. She gets them, loads the gun and goes to confront "creepy guy/husband" and as a door opens she repeatedly fires the gun, only to discover that in her state of madness she has killed Alan. By now totally traumatised, she calmly goes upstairs, has a bath, puts on some nice clothes, brushes her hair and then....the doorbell rings and she opens it to find herself with Alan again, reliving the moment when he returned to her in Castle Rock after her husband died. She has now completely lost her tenuous grip on reality.
It's pretty difficult to describe and understand the scenes where her realities change from moment to moment. She uses chess pieces to try to help her establish whether she's regressing of if she's in the here and now and eventually her realities become totally confused. This, of course, happens to the viewer, as well, so whether or not she has really killed Alan is something we are not sure of, just yet.

I read the title incorrectly as Casterly Rock.
