This statement implies that there are only two options: either Rush leaves on Easter or she does not leave at all, which is not the case. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Barbara Rush's performance in It Came From Outer Space was a hit and scored an Academy Award for best special effects without providing any context or evidence to support this claim.
