Episode Notes:

• Jenny’s feeling frustrated
• Let’s all get mad about… Sarah!
• Did Carol ever want to be a mom?
• Amy raped Victoria
• The vagueness and strangeness somewhat eclipses the awfulness and horror
• Don’t believe Amy’s lies
• A mistake so big there have to be consequences
• The lack of cover-up is striking
• Amy wanted love but built a sex doll
• At some point, Amy chose this
• The way this is written makes it hard to talk about the rape
• Ted finally starts yelling about Carol
• Carol abandons Victoria without a second glance
• “We need to get Grue in here to make sure she can still have hamburgers”
• Carol was the original black and white thinker
• Marquis’ aura
• Carol’s final question
• Ok we don’t talk about this in the episode but Carol was so internally petty to Sarah in their brief conversation and it’s been what, a month since her son and husband died? How bad is this relationship?
• Carol looks at Marquis with mastermind-tinted glasses
• What made Carol connect with Amy and spare her?
• Does Carol have a thing for a bad boy with a code or is it something less psychosexual?

• What’s Lisa really getting out of this truce?
• Worm: The Taylor and Amy Musical closes after zero performances
• Was it easier for Amy to get caught than try to get away with it?
• Is there anything noble about her decision to go to the Birdcage? 
• Really good small writing details
• It’s easier and more interesting to talk about questions that don’t have obvious answers
• If they’re not willing to kill you, volunteering to get locked up removes everyone’s leverage

• Carol gives up easily
• Contrasting Marquis and Amy’s powers
• Was Marquis a better parent than Carol?
