And I could be a jerk but I would be lying if I didn’t think that all Vince’s work was going to be for naught. Not just trusting dad. Watching his mom, staring at her husband so trustfully, I wonder if her edge is close too. Nobody means to slip back into drug use but then again, nobody would start if it seemed nasty and dirty and awful in the beginning. In the beginning, substances – like charming men – seem awfully irresistible. My question, if that should happen, is whether Vince will be able to retain his heart if he has to walk away from both parents a second time.

There’s no segue that’s apt here, except to say that the pool of despair Julie Taylor lies in now is a particularly deep place for her and I hope Vince never gets there.

Unlike him, Julie knows she’ll be taken care of by her parents. They’ll fix her car. But she never expected that they would try to hurl her – physically – out the door. She never expected that their disappointment would run so deep that they couldn’t stand the sight of her. Because yes, that’s what’s going on here.

I believe everything Tami has been saying. That Julie has to look at her choices. That she has to face up to what she’s done, and that she can’t feasibly push away her entire college experience (no matter how dubious I am about Burleson University for our supposedly-straight-A Julie Taylor).

But forcing her to go back isn’t about making amends. Tami and Eric know there’s nothing she can do to fix things, and if they were being smart, they’d help their daughter’s academic career by telling her to lay low and transfer next year to somewhere she could start fresh. But that’s not where their heads are. Forcing her out of the house only means they don’t have to look at the mistakes they’ve made.
