The Girl on the Train Chapter 17 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Rachel

  • Rachel has another missed call from Scott overnight. She thinks it's weird that he called her less than forty-eight hours after his own wife was found dead, but she doesn't have time to think about that right now.
  • Rachel meets her mother for lunch, and she gets a small loan from mom.
  • On the way home, the red-haired man sits next to Rachel on the train.
  • Thinking about that Saturday night brings back a bad memory of Rachel being hit and knocked to the ground.
  • She's afraid of the red-haired man so she moves away from him to a different train car.
  • When she sits down, she has another weird memory: a woman in a blue dress walking away from her. Anna.
