White Bear - When did she eat??


I know it's not relevant to the points of the episode - but really, when does she eat, relieve herself, etc? I can't remember if they ate anything during the episode (the female actor she ran into had said they stopped at the gas station for "supplies").

There's only so long you can go day in and day out like that before your body and mind just break down.

I think the only time she had to eat was when they're in the van on the way to the station.

That is a very good question! I have pondered that as well, they have to be feeding her or she would completely waste away. They must provide her with food at some at point, I wouldn't think it would be while she remembers everything or she'd just refuse to eat (kind of a hunger strike). However, they have to be providing her with food and water at some point.

Since we the viewer don't see the full cycle in real time, it can be assumed there are breaks during the flyting to have snacks or rations, and likely after the reveal and during the reset there is likely time to feed the prisoner.

I guess they'd just feed her intravenously whilst she is out cold. Probably just enough to keep her body going - she doesn't exactly look in a healthy fit state in the episode.

We don't need to see these minor details. It is like asking when does she take a *beep*
