[Once she's in the bathroom, she presses her back to the door and lets herself slide to the floor. Steph's speculation doesn't help clear up any of Ellie's confusion, but if Joel was drugged or something, at least that meant she could give him the benefit of the doubt.
She just wants to rewind to last night. Maybe if she hadn't fallen asleep, things would be different.
Ellie leans her head back against the door to listen to what Steph's doing. Any sound is muffled by the wood between her and the rest of the apartment, though she'd recognize Joel's low rumbles and Texan accent from across anything. But the tone was off, off, off. While she can't hear the words, she remembers them, and how off they were, too.
She presses her palms against her eyes. The hell was going on?
After Ellie thinks it's safe to head out, she pushes herself to her feet, flushes the empty toilet, and washes her hands before heading to the door. It's pretty obvious she was just biding her time in there--or taking a massive dump.]
