I knew she was dead as soon as I saw the cookies and the note. You knew he was getting back in that car at some point, but I wasn't sure how until I saw the cookies and the note. It could've been her leaving him, or it could have been him blowing the law school interview because he was tired and stressed, or it could have been him choosing to go after acing the interview, just because he wanted to see if he COULD have done it... but once I saw the cookies, I knew she was severely and significantly dead. That said, the blood drop onto the face still freaked me out, despite the fact that the burning woman on the ceiling was, for me, the least scary part of the show.
