“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!”
Aaron, all you had to do was say “yes, it’s a wedding; no, it’s invitees only.” But I suppose if you’d done that then we’d have only gotten a one-week arc out of it.
(I’m trusting that Vicky at least had enough sense to get the marriage license done ahead of time, given how volatile all the guests’ home lives are. I wouldn’t really blame her and Lars if they ended up Eloping)
I don’t blame Marion for being bitter…having a man-child for a husband when you’re already raising ONE kid will twist you. She reminds me of a couple friends’ mothers I knew…forced to be “the responsible one” until it bent them permanently.
Of course, trying to have a grown-up conversation with Rick is like playing chess with a chicken.
I agree totally. Yes, everything we’ve ever seen or heard vis a vis Rick paints him as a walking red flag, a cheap, boorish, and ignorant oaf, the kind of guy who’d come across a decades-old bottle of vintage wine and would chunk in the garbage under the assumption it had gone bad. But Marion’s allowed bitterness to take over her behavior whenever he comes into view, and it’s ruining any chance of her moving on with her life.
I l like he’s just scared that if everything isn’t perfect it may end up like his own parent’s marriage.

Everyone has a breaking point. Aaron has finally reached his.
Say what you will about Rick, but I think the one who actually has the stick up their backside is Marion.
And its all downhill from here!
Aaron’s FINALLY reaching his boiling point with his parents. Glad to see his character development is sticking.
Yup, he yelled at them.
