We're learning a lot of new information. The woman, Teresa, is moving in, seemingly from another part of the country, after a breakup or divorce, and with few resources. I was wondering before why she didn't have any helpers. She's "dressed for the gym" and apparently attractive to the guy, Scotty. It's hard to feel the same apprehension as in the earlier bits with a guy called Scotty, by the way. He's being helpful for some reason, seems to be good at handy kinds of tasks like knowing how to pull down the ramp on the rental truck, but he "wasn't doing anything else." So he's a slightly less creepy but still unknown character. But when he's thinking about what she unloaded by herself, the only heavy piece of furniture he thinks of is the bed. Is that significant in some way? Teresa doesn't seem bothered by it.
She seems to be an independent kind of person yet a little old fashioned (using the expression "Mercy!" which makes him smile).
We get one bit of info about what's going on in the neighborhood: "they find that family," meaning dead? Murdered? If there is an unsolved murder(s) in the neighborhood, why would Teresa be so trusting with someone she finds in her house while she's moving in? Also, she's been through some kind of bad experience: "We didn't have much by the end." Was the man she was with a gambler who used up all her money? Still questions to be answered. So far, she has revealed more about herself than Scotty has.
