Marla’s first Tuesday in Harrow’s Reach. She mistakes the neighbor’s transformation for a gas leak. She tries to call the police, but the curse scrambles cell signals, so she only reaches a pizza hut three towns over. This arc establishes the rules: No one can leave the street during the curse, and the only way to survive is to remind the monsters of their human routines.
