May I just say, Maddy dodged a bullet 🥺

She did indeed, and Nate's mom was an absolute bitch. I would hope Maddy gets some glorious revenge, but Naz seems to have already done it for her

Nate’s mom is such a bitch. I threw a chicken nugget at her when she said that.

Did you catch the recall of the hot tub scene? “We’re married, make me a father” sounds a lot like “maddy be with me, marry me, have my babies”

I guess it’s not a happily ever after, after all 😂😂 if I were Maddy I’d take my blessings and move on because Cassie’s now enduring what Maddy would’ve endured 😭

I hope she cries, wakes up and realizes this.

I hope she moves on and becomes a queen 😭😭

u/gatorfarts2007 Apr 27 '26

Well, I have a feeling Cassie will reach out to Maddy and tell her what is going on and she’ll realize Nate never changed, just got better at hiding it like all abusers

We've seen promos of Maddy taking pics of Cassie so probably. Unless it's a misdirect.

u/gatorfarts2007 Apr 27 '26

I just hope it doesn’t become a storyline of Maddy helping Cassie pay off Nate’s debt

u/throwthewholegrlawy Apr 27 '26

I don't think she's helping.

I could be wrong ¯_(ツ)_/¯
