The Mother
Mae is helped by Sandy, the woman with whom Vanessa was fighting. They go into the lesbian bar from which Sandy and Vanessa emerged. They start to talk. Sandy owns the bar. Mae tries to explain why she feels so disoriented. They wind up having sex in the bathroom.
Mae wakes up and finds out that she is married to Sandy and has a daughter with her. It is their daughter Eva's birthday. Eva wants Mae to help her with everything. She gets indignant when Sandy tries to help her.
Mae has to take Eva to school the next day. She realizes she doesn't know where Eva's school is. She digs through Eva's backpack and finds something that has the school name and address on it.
Mae drops Eva off at school and then walks across the street. She knocks on the door of the house, the same house where she lived with Elijah. A woman answers the door, Rose, Elijah's wife. She doesn't look real happy but she also doesn't look surprised by Mae's arrival at her doorstep. She tells Mae that Elijah will be back soon.
Sandy was played by Emily Hampshire whom I also know from Schitt's Creek where she plays Stevie.
This is what I was hoping for and yet not. Everything changed but Mae still seems unable to cope. It is the same sort of problem she had in the previous episode and yet different. She is still trying to figure out what is going on and yet she isn't in the same place as she was.
I laughed at this one a little bit. It just seemed so absurd at times.
I feel like I'm all in at this point. There are just 4 episodes left.
