So: Angus's version. Mom preferred Lydia. Kirstie jealous. Kirstie kills Lydia, tells Dad, who tells her to keep it to herself. Now Kirstie is assuming Lydia's personality because she wants Mom to love her. Kirstie basically becoming both twins. Mom (Sarah) is becoming afraid of Angus's temper. She discovers Angus has had an affair with her best friend. Kirstie/Lydia is predictably having trouble at school.
I found it slightly boring for a bit, but these new twists have definitely upped the pace. The visit of Emily Durrant was terrific. Lydia, in the midst of the play date, starts talking to Kirstie--totally terrifying Emily who never wanted to come in the first place. There was the definite hint that Emily might be killed by Lydia/Kirstie and, why not, if Kirstie did in fact kill Lydia--which seems likely. Sarah going through Angus's private chest of drawers, then hearing a sound downstairs, was also nicely scary/tense/supernatural.
