Check out what happened in The Basement!

As the Gemini Killer, a man consumed by multiple personalities and a penchant for violence, Bill Anderson holds captive Allison Perry in a dingy basement, her screams muffled by the crackling flames of a blowtorch. Meanwhile, Craig Owen, Kelly's wealthy musician husband, is unwittingly abducted by Bill outside a liquor store, only to find himself bound to a school desk in Bill's lair. As Baylee the Clown, Bill's sadistic alter ego takes hold, Craig is subjected to a litany of physical and emotional torment, his cries for mercy falling on deaf ears.

As the torture continues, Craig's reality becomes increasingly distorted, with Bill morphing into various personas - a police officer, detective, and even his own interrogator. The lines between victim and perpetrator blur as Craig finds himself trapped in a desperate bid to escape. Kelly, growing worried about her husband's disappearance, turns to Lauren at the liquor store for answers, only to be met with deafening silence from the authorities.

Craig's attempts to reason with Bill are met with brutal resistance, his fingers severed by wire cutters as a bitter reminder of his futile struggles. The psychological game between captor and captive reaches new heights as Bill dons the persona of Dr. Jack Goodman, painstakingly sewing up Craig's wounded hand with cold detachment. Through a twisted narrative, Bill regales Craig with tales of his own troubled past, revealing the scars of childhood abuse that have shaped his fractured psyche.

As the stakes grow higher, Craig attempts to appeal to Bill's humanity through shared experiences and empathetic connections, but each attempt is met with swift rebuke. The Gemini Killer's true identity remains shrouded in mystery, even as he assumes the guise of a lawyer, Craig's last hopes for escape dwindling with each passing moment. In a desperate bid to turn the tables, Craig turns to Bill's mother persona, pleading for her help in escaping the clutches of her tortured son. As the clock ticks away, Craig's fate hangs precariously in balance, his only solace a glimmer of hope from the metal nail file slipped into his palm by Bill's own mother - the one person who might yet hold the key to his liberation.

As the narrative unfolds, Bill assumes the role of a prison guard, delivering pizza to Craig's cell alongside deliveryman Andre (no actor mentioned). This marked the beginning of Craig's final meal, which Bill - in character as the guard - partakes in alongside his captive. In this peculiar moment, Craig engages Bill about the Gemini tattoo on his wrist, prompting Bill to share an intimate detail: he has a twin.

Meanwhile, Craig seizes the opportunity to escape, utilizing the nail file to fray at his rope restraints while Bill momentarily steps out of the room. However, Bill's vigilance proves unwavering, and he swiftly recaptures Craig upon discovering his attempted breakout.

The dynamic between Craig and Bill continues to escalate as they engage in a heated confrontation when Bill dons the persona of Catholic priest Father Fitzgerald. When Craig's words provoke Bill's ire, the priest exacts revenge by slashing Craig's face with the nail file.

As the story progresses, Bill takes on the role of an executioner adorned with the Gemini symbol, his cold calculation evident as he torments Craig with a blowtorch, ultimately tearing off Craig's head. The sun rises to signal the end of this gruesome chapter in their twisted dance.

In a chilling revelation, Bill arrives at Kelly's residence, dressed in his police officer uniform, and delivers the ominous message: "it's done." Kelly's subtle implication suggests her desire for Bill to target Bianca, who remains slumbering on her couch. This dark turn of events is revealed to be a consequence of Kelly's manipulation one month prior.

Having deduced that her twin brother was indeed The Gemini Killer, Kelly masterfully manipulated Bill into making Craig his next victim, driven by Craig's infidelity with Bianca.
