[deletions] I like this a whole lot better than my bad Coop explanation: Coop warns her because the time isn't right for her to take the ring. Maybe the ring really was there, not just dreamed, but disappears because, being warned, she fails to put it on within some critical time limit, or it is withdrawn because of the warning. Interestingly, the ring arrives after Annie leaves: # Annie: My name is Annie: I've been with Laura and Dale. The good # Dale is in the lodge and he can't leave. Write it in your diary. # {Sarah calls Laura, distant, mournful. Laura looks at the door, # then at her bed. Annie's gone. In her hand is Teresa's ring. This is echoed later in a scene in the shooting script where a nurse takes the ring off Annie's finger: # -- Nurse attends to Annie. # Annie: My name is Annie. I've been with Laura and Dale. The good # Dale is in the lodge and he can't leave. Write it in your diary. # The nurse slides the ring off of Annie's finger. She goes to another # room and puts it on. > > Both ring and necklace are left behind after their owners are killed, I don't think the necklace is magical, just symbolic. Also, I don't think the ring is left behind. It goes to the lodge from whence it is sent out again. -Rich Haller
