And furtherless, the latest version of the logline has two major plot triggers. (Some might even say 2 inciting incidents.) 1] The blackmail that triggers the attempt to fake her death. 2] The love affair that triggers her to reverse course and fight back.
Of course, a good script would have plenty of reversals, twists and turns in the story line. But a logline usually only includes one major trigger: the original inciting incident. The trigger of the love story doesn’t seem to complicate her situation so much as offer the solution to her predicament. Indeed, it seems to raise an entirely new dramatic question than the one that follows from the first trigger.
