When Ratched finds Billy with Candy, he is calm and peaceful. He and Candy both move “like cats full of warm milk.” The nurse threatens to tell Billy’s mother. Billy regains his stutter and begins to cry, begging her to keep it a secret and blaming Candy, McMurphy, and Harding for the whole thing.
Ratched (aka Ryan Murphy’s psychological horror series for Netflix) will follow Ratched’s “journey and evolution from nurse to full-fledged monster." And the cast is incredible.
