full of cliches and stupidities

Why did the sister hide and trip the relative (I think she was an aunt) down the stairs? Why did aunt and friend call wife up to tell her tripping had been deliberate, but wife didn't ask any questions about who did it?
After wife has figured out that Kevin had killed neighbor and teacher and has been drugging her, she still goes back to the house alone to confront him--duh.
The police were maddeningly obtuse ( as well as bad actors), as in all Lifetime movies. And why does the bad guy kill a dog in so many Lifetime movies? The minute you see a dog that a good character loves, you know it's going to get killed.

Why did the first wedding dance scene go on and on for no reason?

There was no explanation as to why the sister would want to help Kevin kill his wife -what would she get out of it? She kept talking about their "plan"--for what???
What was the red herring about the wife's mother having been bipolar? Why did the wife research the pills she was gulping down night and day for the first time--she didn't look that stupid, and why did they keep focusing on the water glass, as if that meant something? Why was the wife able to foresee in her nightmares what would actually happen when Kevin later forcibly drugged her?
AND WHAT WAS WITH THOSE TITLE CARDS LIKE IN A SILENT MOVIE???

It's a lifetime movie, would you expect anything else lol

I think the plan was just what the movie showed, the hubby wanting to recreate his original marriage. I just don't understand why the sis would help, they should have shown her profiting from it in some way.

I didn't get the bipolar thing, maybe it just explained why the aunt was willing to except her nieces "condition"?
Haley probably didn't think to research the pills at first because she trusted her husband especially since he was a doctor, but once she finally became suspicious she decided to look them up.

Why was the wife able to foresee in her nightmares what would actually happen when Kevin later forcibly drugged her?

I think he had already been drugging her with the needles.

That's all I got.

Life time movies are predictable. The husband is almost always the villain or is in a complete idiot. I could not see what the wife even saw in him.

The wife, Sarah, didn't ask the aunt who her attacker was it's true. But the aunt didn't see Jolene anyway. If I remember rightly, I don't think that Sarah went back to confront Kevin, but to retrieve something.

Lifetime are fond of pet killings in their movies. I don't like that in the plot but thankfully they are no graphic scenes typically involved. Yesterday they killed off two budgies in the one that I saw. Today it was the gardener's lovely dog. I did feel sorry for the gardener. And the dog's killing did increase my hatred for the husband.

After all the deaths at the hands of the husband, who was a cardiac surgeon, I started to wonder whether the death of the child he "lost on the operating table" could also have been deliberate because he had some gripe with the parents and aimed to teach them a lesson. Psychos like him need little to justify their mad actions.

Re psycho surgeon. I didn't think about the possibility of him killing some of his patients. You may have a point there. I didn't like him keep reminding his wife about losing a child on the operating table every time she raised concerns about something. It was to divert from his own guilt of what else he was doing.
