Actually thinking about in relation to the library scene in Episode 3, I can see why the MC narration talks about calling for help.
Bella is completely heartbroken over losing her child—miscarriage, or SIDS, or even somehow indirectly being her fault, hence asking James for forgiveness—and is holding onto the desperate idea that James is still alive somewhere. Because if he can return, then so can the kid (metaphorically, I just mean have another child). Broad strokes, I can see that something like this.
