S5Ep13: Mary’s scene with Angie about Robert Jr. has me seeing her in a more sympathetic light
Recap for those who haven’t watched that season or don’t remember: Mary talks to Angie about Robert telling her he has done heroin and she breaks down.
I think we’ve seen her cry before on the show, but this is the first time it felt authentic? I remember seeing people claim she’s exploiting his issues to distract from the issues of her church, which is likely true. But first time watching has me feeling bad for her regardless? Especially because she implied she feels she is making the same mistake her mother made by ignoring her kids…idk, not even liking Mary as a HW before this it was a genuinely sad scene and I really like that Angie promised to not go and tell the others.
