She says no, and backs off, but the seed has been planted: Oh God, in addition to the emotional and physical abuse, did Cal sexually abuse Nate, as well? “I feel like you’re trying to say something without saying it,” he says menacingly. “It was such a drastic change,” she points out, that she sometimes worried if he’d had a head trauma that she didn’t know about. Marsha muses about how she can’t understand how Nate is so angry, “because you were such a sweet little baby.” She recalls that around age 8 or 9, he “darkened” from a kind and gentle kid into something much more concerning. But when she jokes that he didn’t have to go as far as choking Maddy, Nate gets deadly serious, angrily pointing out that the charges were dropped and seeming to equate that with negating anything he did.Īnd then things get even harder to watch. The whole conversation is unsettling, particularly when she brings up Maddy - whom she doesn’t like - and admits that she was proud of Nate when he manhandled his then-girlfriend when things blew up at the carnival in Season 1. just being angry at Cal Marsha highly doubts her son’s assertion that all of his vitriol was Cal-focused. He joins her in a midmorning cocktail, where she advises him, “Whatever you do, don’t marry anyone you meet in high school.” They debate whether Nate is an angry guy vs. And actually, Rue voiceovers, he’s feeling great, “because, after an 18-year d–k-swinging contest with his dad, Nate has finally won.” His mother is also feeling rather exuberant, dancing to En Vogue in the kitchen as she drinks, smokes and bakes. “My daughter’s going to kill herself!”Ī NEW DAY | The morning after Cal’s big speech also is the morning after Maddy learned that Cassie and Nate were a thing, but Nate is unaware of the drama: When he works out, he doesn’t look at his phone, so he’s blissfully ignorant of the zillion calls and texts from Cassie.

“Please don’t do this to us,” she says, crying and getting increasingly upset.

In the bedroom down the hall, Leslie gets a call that there’s no rehab option for Rue right now. “I’ll tell you when you get back,” Gia whispers. She’s been waiting on it.” And that night, Gia crawls into Rue’s bed, where the sisters talk about how Rue doesn’t really know what’s going on in Gia’s life anymore. He says he doesn’t know, but there’s hope - but it’s Rue’s job to find it.īefore he goes, Ali tells Leslie to “let Rue be Rue and shower that little one with love. Gia asks Ali if it’s possible for Rue to get clean, given the very small odds of that happening. But Ali sides with the younger sibling: After all, Rue has let herself and everyone else down multiple times. Gia expresses a little bit of doubt, which her mom shuts down quickly. When they all sit down to eat, Rue says she wants to go to rehab, get clean and make amends with everyone in her life. He lets her know that it would be totally understandable if she were angry with Rue, but she maintains that she’s not. But after he arrives, he jokingly banishes Rue and her mom to another room, which gives him some time to talk with Gia. He’s short with her at first, but once she gets out her apology, he instantly forgives her and then, off her surprise, quotes the Quran: “The hour is certain to come, so you must forgive graciously.” She sobs in relief and thanks him, then pops another Jolly Rancher.Īli eventually comes over to cook dinner for the Bennett women. Rue has mixed feelings about what she screamed at her mother (“I wish I could say I didn’t mean any of it,” she voiceovers), but she truly regrets what she said to Ali, “reducing someone’s life to a moment, an ugly moment, and punishing them for it.” So she works up her nerve and calls him. In the meantime, she cares for her howling, writhing, nearly incapacitated daughter while Gia cries as she witnesses her sister’s torment. Her mom is hoping to get her into a rehab facility as soon as a bed opens up. But as withdrawal has its way with her, she’s very bad off the first shot we see, she cries and snots all over the dining room table as she tries to unwrap a Jolly Rancher candy.
