Little thing in her mouth @ joans coffee


Can somebody tell me what the little green/black thing was Annie took from her mouth or lip when she drank coffee with Joan. I can't forget this little detail. Can someone help me?

reply

could be something Joanne put in the drink to make Annie more susceptible to suggestions
Annie just shrugged it off as the tea leaf or something

I assumed it was just one of the pills she took before drinking the coffee.
(It could've melted a bit and turned dark after coming into contact with the coffee.)
And she just caught it on her lip instead of swallowing it, and then decided to spit it out.

But it doesn't make sense to include a scene like that.

The only time I've seen this mentioned was in a fan theory that argued it might just be a sign that she was mentally ill, as
A) It's common for schizophrenic people to imagine people are putting stuff in their food
B) Maybe only Annie saw this thing. Cause if Joan had seen it too - wouldn't she have mentioned it?
(even if she tried to put some weird cult shit in the coffee, she would've had to mention it if she got caught, just to say something like "Oh, sorry, must have dropped something into the coffee pot")

It implies Joan was drugging her tea.
