Not to jinx it, but she’s made so much progress! She was able to sit Gino down on the couch, identify what she was feeling, and then have a calm, respectful discussion explaining what she was thinking, that she was sorry and regretted it, and also inviting him to be honest about the fact that he lied too (because he did). And even when he got defensive and denied lying (again, he did) she didn’t get reactive. Her emotions showed up in the conversation, she was clearly upset (which is absolutely fine), but she didn’t allow her emotions to control her. It was really touching to see her communicate in a heathier way. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that progress continues in the next episode, but I hope it’s something she continues to work on because she was doing so well!

    Exactly! She’s a picture of serenity (and manipulation) when defending her own unforgivable actions. When she suspects Gino - of anything - a blazing inferno of rage. Nothing to be proud of yet!
