Consider a situation where three friends, Marcellus, Jia, and Henrik, go to the movies together. They all watch the movie in the same row but are not sitting together. Marcellus sits at the end of the row, with several strangers between him and Jia, who sits directly next to Henrik. During the movie, Henrik gets up to buy popcorn and misses a crucial plot twist. When he returns, Jia, thinking Henrik saw the scene while standing at the back of the theater, makes a comment about the plot twist. Henrik, not wanting to admit he missed the part, nods and pretends to understand. After the movie, Marcellus, who watched Jia and Henrik's interaction and saw Henrik leave the theater, asks Henrik what he thought about the plot twist. Based on this, does Marcellus believe that Henrik saw the plot twist, and why?

Provide a brief response.
Marcellus does not believe that Henrik saw the plot twist. Marcellus saw Henrik leave the theater to buy popcorn and was aware of his absence during the crucial part of the movie. When Henrik returned to his seat, Marcellus would have inferred that there was no possible way for Henrik to have seen the plot twist unless it was shown for a prolonged duration that extended beyond Henrik's return. Given that Jia made the comment to Henrik immediately upon his return, it would have been clear to Marcellus that the plot twist occurred during Henrik's absence. Therefore, when Marcellus asks Henrik about his thoughts on the plot twist, it might be either to confirm his suspicion that Henrik missed it or to understand how Henrik would respond, given Marcellus's understanding that Henrik could not have seen it. Despite Jia's assumption that Henrik was aware of the plot twist and Henrik's pretense of knowing it, Marcellus's knowledge of the situation leads him to believe otherwise.
