Episode 4 of *The Last Night at Tremore Beach* kicks off with Alex and his family returning to the serene house. After Bea and Bruno have finally drifted into peaceful slumber, following the turmoil of recent revelations, Judy unburdens her heart to Alex, acknowledging the authenticity of his vision about her troubled past. She confesses that her mother's battle with cancer inspired her to pursue nursing. Tragically, following her mother's demise, Judy abandoned her career to embark on a journey of self-discovery, seeking new horizons and meeting diverse souls.
In the heart of France, her path crossed with a kindred spirit at a hospital, and together, they embraced a lifestyle defined by fun and exhilarating adventures. One fateful evening, they ventured into a party where a group of men cast admiring glances. Judy's friend, after checking on her, left with one of them, while Judy, captivated by another, remained with him in the dimly lit basement. However, the enchantment quickly soured when she stumbled upon his clandestine recording of her.
As Judy tried to reclaim his phone and escape, the group formed a human wall, trapping her. The night turned into a harrowing ordeal as the men took turns violating her. As dawn approached and they prepared to flee, one of them insisted that their sinister deed was incomplete. Judy, fueled by courage, retaliated, striking him with a bottle and shoving him with all her might. He stumbled and collapsed, causing his compatriots to panic and devise a despicable plan: to bury both Judy and their friend to silence their guilt. One of them choke-holded Judy, intending perhaps to terminate her, but she fainted before any fatal harm could be done, narrowly escaping death's cold embrace.
As they deliberated on the grim task of disposing of the bodies, Judy miraculously regained consciousness, narrowly evading an unthinkable fate. This harrowing ordeal paved the way for an arduous legal battle, wherein Judy was compelled to repeatedly confront her trauma in the courtroom's harsh glare. Eventually, justice prevailed, and the perpetrators were convicted. Though free from their immediate threat, Judy chose to leave France, seeking solace in the familiarity of her nursing career.
Yet, the specter of PTSD clung to her, rendering her former life a distant, unreachable memory. It wasn't until a compassionate colleague noticed her silent battle that Judy was nudged towards seeking professional help. She embarked on a therapeutic journey that served as a beacon of healing, gradually easing the burden of her past. Through this process, she embarked on a profound quest of self-discovery, wandering solo through treacherous trails until serendipity led her to a quaint hostel owned by a wise woman. Confiding in this newfound friend, Judy eventually inherited the hostel upon the woman's retirement, marking a turning point in her journey towards happiness. Little did she know, just four months shy of this renewed bliss, Alex would arrive on her doorstep.
In her newfound solace, Judy gently encouraged Alex to seek the same psychiatrist who had mended her broken spirit. When Alex pondered how he could possibly know of her troubled past, Judy offered a vague explanation, hinting that perhaps he had caught snippets of her tale in the sanctity of her slumber. The following day, with heartfelt concern, Judy chauffeured Alex to the hospital, where the psychiatrist suggested clinical hypnosis as a gateway to uncover the roots of his visions.
