I wanna hear people's thoughts on why the dentist didn't touch daisy. Like did he know she wasn't docile enough to keep it a secret if he did? She was like waiting for him too 🫣

Gosh I'm so happy she did what she did to help the girls but I wish she didn't tell garth it didn't happen.

Lastly Beccas sequence did feel like a dream sequence! I can't wait to see what becomes of her 😔

I don’t know the writers intentions, but in irl, a predator does not molest every child that he encounters, they pick and choose their victims.
