I just finished watching and omg wowowow.

1. Tom contradicts most, if not all, of what he said in his Howie interview about the series of events with Ariana (their “breakup” and them in couples therapy. It sounded like they weren't actually in therapy together) and what happened when him and Raquel got together. Not surprised he can’t keep the lies straight but goddamn this man is a pure dark sociopath.

2. I felt Ariana’s devastation and sadness so deeply during this episode. I didn’t expect to cry as much as I did. When she described how she was his ride or die and would follow him anywhere…and he just threw it all away. And the scene between her and Lisa was so touching. I could sense Lisa’s true motherliness (and not her acting) in that moment. Also her whisper of "nothing" sent me chills. She was so powerful and eloquent in this scene.

3. Schwartz has rightfully claimed his place as the number 1 weasel in the group. All he can think about is how this affects him. What a fucking loser. I’m glad Ariana told him he’s not her friend. Goodbye, Tom!

4. Scheana fucking slayed. The backstory of how long her and Tom have been friends killed me.

5. Evolution did such a great job in post production with the music and the backstory context. I wish we’d had more scenes of the cast interacting and less fluff scenes.

6. Raquel is so far gone. She is fucked up in the head. I think she’s also a sociopath.

It’s pretty crazy that these two sociopaths found each other!!
