Which brings us back to Rue. Now that she’s safe in the comfort of her home, she begins the long and ugly process of recovery. After being chased by police and drugged by Laure (Marie O’Neill), she’s a shell of the person that she was in episode five, barely able to open a Jolly Rancher.
But there’s still Rue in there and she’s holding onto the tiny bit of hope that she can be a good person again. She makes amends with Ali (Colman Domingo) and asks Gia (Storm Reid) to not give up on her.
Meanwhile, Nate (Jacob Elordi) spends some quality time with his mom, Marsha (Paula Marshall), revealing that Cal (Eric Dane) isn’t the only one with problems. As she chain smokes and sips wine in the afternoon, she tells him that she was proud when Nate aggressively grabbed Maddy (Alexa Demie) at the chili cookoff. “I was thinking, ‘That’s my boy,'” she says, before adding, “but you didn’t have to go so far as to choke her.”
This mother-son bonding session is taking place as Cassie attempts to slit her wrists with a cork opener, because Nate is ignoring her. Lexi (Maude Apatow) can’t understand why her sister is so distraught, so she seeks refuge at Cal (Angus Cloud‘s) place. Dare we say this is the start of an adorable romance?
