Binary Idiom

PROMPT: Write a story that features an English idiom.

CW(s): implied incitement of/engagement in criminal activity (including encouraging people to commit suicide), heavy themes of manipulation, black mail and accusations of infidelity.

Also, a gazillion English idioms, because I have zero chill when it comes to prompts. It was go big or go home for this one.
