Missy and Nicole lived together at Seven Oaks at the sentence of Reena ’s attack and execution .

The day after the execution of Reena Virk , Missy , Nicole , and Kelly acquire Reena ’s shoes . Under the Bridgeepisode 3 changes the true narrative , in which Dusty and Josephine dispose of Reena ’s shoes . The last similarity between Missy and Dusty is their reaction afterward . Missy makes it very well-defined thatshe blame herself and is haunted by what they did to Reena . This matches the book – where Dusty find fault herself and thinks about Reena all the time – and the Hulu miniseries – where she blames herself and the others who attacked Reena . The sheer number of parallels is uncanny .
