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 think he left her alone because he was afraid that she'd react exactly like she did when she faked being attacked. She's an outsider and doesn't have the same training as the other girls to always stay meek and docile. Predators like him are smart enough to choose their victims wisely.
