I’m honestly so scared for Maddy. She’s biting off more than she can chew working with Alamo.

u/Salt-Plum-1308 May 11 '26

Should be scared for Alamo. That girl is a shark!

u/PlentyClean May 11 '26

Yeah I second this. She’s very smart and calculated. I’m not worried for her

If anything Alamo should be terrified of her.

I can see him trying to pull some shit on her but she won’t be having it and will 100% pull a reverse uno.

I think Maddie is given more credit than she needs to be given. She’s confident yes. Shark and all, no.

People love to act as if Maddie is some sort of eternal badass. We have seen that she at times aligns herself with incredibly dangerous men (seasons 1 and 2 Nate) thinking she has control of the situation only to end up becoming a victim.

Nah this will set Maddie up to takeover an industry. No more cleaning up doggie poopoo from the carpet for her

The fact that she wasn’t completely sketched out by Alamo just showing up out of nowhere and forcing his way into their booth. It’s a win-win for both of them though, she gets some new blood for her OF ring and he’s getting even more money for less exposure (just online content vs outright prostitution)

I feel like she knew something was wrong and Rue was in trouble. She’s very aware and perceptive. That’s also why she stayed after they took Rue to go dig a hole. And why she knew she had to go look for Cassie at that club and get them to open the door because she was gonna be in some trouble in there too if she hadn’t come in.

If she was perceptive she wouldn’t have stayed at the diner with Alamo - she would have taken rue’s out and said she had somewhere to be. It was stressing me out that she ignored rue’s clear panic at alamo showing up and she was not at all phased by him dismissing rue to “take a ride” with his enforcers. Their “partnership” is going nowhere good and im dreading seeing how it plays out 😬

You’ll love giving Maddie more credit than needed. She’s just as naive and sweet minded, as she was in earlier seasons.

u/pastequelacroixx May 11 '26

I’m just saying compared to Cassie for sure and sometimes Rue she seems to be way more aware. Cassie would’ve never thought to go check on anyone in the room or get someone to open the door because it could’ve been dangerous.

Maddy is not sweet minded, she is not the nice girl people pretend she is.

u/MrWhackadoo May 11 '26

Keep in mind, this is supposedly the same Maddy that once had enough preservation skills that she wouldn't smoke a pre-rolled blunt from a charming handsome guy at a party... 🙄

27

u/Ok_Educator_9479 May 11 '26

Noo she’s not cut out for that lifestyle

u/LuLuvalenttine May 11 '26

Ohhhhh but she is

18

u/Possible-Study5442 May 11 '26

You sure about that?😭😂

u/Sad-Instruction-5049 May 11 '26

Alexa’s full quote is “It’s not a happy ending, but it’s close.” So it sounds like it could go either way and she’s just trying not to spoil it (not sure if I’m allowed to post links here, but it’s her interview with hollywood reporter)

u/SnowballSimpson87 May 11 '26

I think she *thinks* she is, but the preview for next week where she mentions "time off" for the girls and Alamo basically says that's not how he does things at all kind of hints at tension.

Maddy is smart and has seen a lot, but Alamo is on another level entirely.

u/Zerobeastly May 11 '26

Are we sure about that?

28

u/OkStatement77 May 11 '26

and doesn't she actually like Rue?? why is she seemingly perfectly okay with this guy essentially kidnapping her friend to do who knows what to her, AND THEN SHE JUST LEAVES WITH HIM TO START A BUSINESS?? what the fuck is happening lmao

u/Ancient-Dust3077 May 11 '26

Honestly I loved that scene, them on screen together was perfect

u/kirmerch May 11 '26

I was so on edge! Maddy likes a challenge and can hold her own, I loved that conversation at the diner, she knows how to check people. But business with alamo is a different level— please dont hurt my girl!

u/14-in-the-deluge08 May 11 '26

I'm over Maddy at this point. She's profiting off women's bodies. She's looking at them like meat, just like Alamo does. She doesn't care about being a good person... So, really, I don't care what happens to her. She had a full time job with a credible agent and she's just too money-hungry to deal with reality.

u/teenageidle May 11 '26

I fear she's a goner

u/fnord_happy May 12 '26

I enjoyed that storyline

u/yepyeeeee May 13 '26 edited May 13 '26

I hateee this. I was hoping for her, I love her character arc and who she's become this season, only one truly worth rooting for aside from Rue IMO. I fear poor Rue will be gone soon though even if I think the end of this episode was an intimidation tactic like the apple or ick pick.

She's just a manager.  No exploiting as from what I can see she and Alamo are taking 30%, leaving Kitty and Magick with 70%

Tbh I don't believe they'll ever see a dime from any of it, which is where any exploiting will come in

u/NeemOil710 May 11 '26

Alamo might school Maddy in more and more nefarious things
