The Girl on the Train Chapter 4 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Megan

  • It's Tuesday, October 2, 2012, a few days after we last saw Megan.
  • She had a panic attack and called a man on his cell phone, but she won't tell us who it is.
  • That evening, she talks about Kamal—yeah, she's on a first-name basis with her therapist now.
  • Kamal suggested she keep a diary, but she's worried that if she does, Scott, her husband, will find it. He often searches through her things.
  • Eleven days later, it seems that Megan has started having an affair.
  • She tells Scott that she's hanging out with her friend Tara but instead meets a man at a motel.
