Warning: Spoilers
I thought it was a great story. Fabian doesn't warn her about the chemical spill until after he's raped her. She runs into the woods, meets Bobby, and everything subtly begins to change. His mutation is especially interesting because it repeats the same words he used while Stephy was intoxicated and alternates between growling and a sweet, child like voice. He is also able to hide it easier than the others.

Bobby is able to escape their quarantine, lending to the dream like feeling. His disappearing act made a lot of sense because they're in the bedroom. She's attempting to hide her mutation, she has a flashback to the scene with Fabian, and he accuses her of trying to make him ugly. The fantasy shatters. Later Fabian says how he's given everything for their family - he doesn't believe he's a bad guy. When Stephy hears the baby crying that she doesn't want to be alone, the purple mist dissopates and she sees a beautiful baby. Throughout the movie she has to help her dad to bed after he's been drinking. He accuses her of trying to leave a dying man, but in their final scene together as she's preparing to take Sarah and go he walks himself.

She finally gets to perform before Mr. Avery. Though she doesn't get the result she hoped for in the beginning, her dream had changed. She's far away, she has her daughter, and she isn't lonely anymore.
