Okay, what is happening in Monterey?

And the pain he feels having to carry Bonnies water.
I think his idea of shoving an electric eel up his ass isnt half bad.
That in itself makes this show feel unique.
Now when we talk about Madeline, we have to talk about Ed.
Just when I said he wins the prize for best husband on BLL, he loses it.
Hey may be Madelines nut job, but the whole matter is giving his beard a bad name.
But maybe thats because Madeline is making out with her theater director.
Sure, the guy is hot.
Did you all feel the same?
Will Joseph Bachman (Santiago Cabrera) blow up the MacKenzie family?
Weve got three more episodes to find out.
And her performance during the meeting with the towns ribald mayor is excellent.
The meeting is a huge victory for both Celeste and Madeline.
Celeste feels renewed also awakened, but in a new way.
In fact, the mere idea of her having another kid is such a power play, its infuriating.
And the conversation she has with Madeline is such an honest depiction of the challenges women often grapple with.
Celeste feels enormous guilt when she says, Being a mother isnt enough.
She actually feels evil for admitting it.
It may be an old debate, but its still felt.
Their lives were everything, says Madeline about her two girls.
I forgot I had my own.
That victory is quickly contrasted with yet another brutal choking scene between Perry and Celeste.
What are the boys seeing?
How are they absorbing this?
Thats something thats sure to come to light in the upcoming episodes.
Jane:
Since shes revealed her well-hidden secret to Madeline, she feels her body waking up.
Keeping it a secret helped the abuse retain its power.
Her response surprised me, simply for its honesty.
Its rare for television shows depict how rape victims process their trauma.
It all read very real to me.
Did you guys agree?
Yet, despite her newfound awareness, Jane is still thinking about moving back to Santa Cruz.
You dont have to look for him if thats what youre doing.
That fear is all over Shailene Woodleys face when she yells at the teacher after she asks the question.
Its pitch perfect in a moment that feels out of tune for Jane.
Jane and Ziggy then meet with a child psychologist.
Both women playing these doctors are cast perfectly, and both are so needed for these main characters.
