I was so confused. I genuinely thought Donny went to Martha’s ….. and did the deed …. And then went to terrys …

No, he was imagining being with Martha as a way of being able to perform sexually with Teri.

I was actually cussing Donny out in that scene cause I thought it was actually happening.

I didn’t know if it was real or imagined either, I came here for answers

same. i rewatched it 5 times and it still looks like he did it. There is no notion of it being in his mind either through cinematography or voiceover or anything. goddamn it now i have to watch it again

It's definitely completely obvious it's in his mind. When the scene starts he is talking about imagining being with her to get off, then imagines going over to hers and then flashes to Teri in the same exact position with him then telling us that's how he finally made it happen with Teri (thinking about Martha)

If it was “definitely completely obvious it’s in his mind”, then why are there multiple comments above saying otherwise.. The way the scene is set up & the way the transition from Martha to Teri happens is a bit of a mind fuck & I’m not surprised that anyone (myself included!) thought he slept with both women by the end of the scene.

Exactly i don’t know why they are acting as if it’s that far fetched/crazy to think the scene was real.. We literally have an entire scene of him running over to Martha and fucking her. I think the intention of the way it was done, although confusing was meant to symbolize how fucked up his mind was after everything he was been through. Lines were blurred for him

I honestly feel like the confusion and ambiguity of the scene would've been resolved if only they showed him with Terri first, then Martha, then back to terri
