Hell to the Should Have Been

Coming Home

I'm going to tell you right off the bat; I'm going to get things confused and out of order. I'm going off memory and mine sucks.

The siblings and Puck come home in the middle of the day. They unpack and go set up in a parlor as they wait for Dr. Jackson. Sam, Tina and Ellen are dropped off by Dwight, who doesn't stay.

Everyone is sitting around the room, when Marcy and Mal take Ellen to a corner to apologize and "beg" her forgiveness. I can't remember if she forgives them right away but I don't think she does. She wants answers.

It starts Marcy and Mal to arguing because he's still upset that she ran to Yheng but she spills that she knows where he'd spent vacation and it wasn't Tibet.

The trio argues loudly, making the others chip in.

Somehow Mike and Marcy end up arguing worse and he throws an ashtray I think at her. She ducks but the damage is done and she throws a vase. He barely moves in time.

I'm not sure but I think this is the time that both spill about the other wanting to kill their mother.

Nic is distraught because she's never seen fighting like this before but luckily Dr. Jackson shows up right then.

He makes them all sit down and take deep breaths. He asks what's going on but they start fighting again. He whistles and has them go from oldest to youngest and tell what's bothering them; honestly.

Laura goes first of course and says how much she hates Robert. He fills her with disgust and it takes massive amounts of ecstasy to lie down with him. She loves Marc but she's terrified of him. That was why she didn't marry him. She knew he had a strong personality and she was weak like Judy.

She also admitted to hating having to be perfect. It wore on her how she had to be an example because she was the oldest but especially the oldest sister. Always on, always performing, always excelling. She felt she was less of a person and it hurt.

Dr. Jackson invited her to take a deep breath before having Marc go.

Marc admitted to loving Laura back but he couldn't do this anymore. He had to do what was best for him and being a married woman's conquest was not best for him.

He also admitted to the pressure of always being on. He was the oldest boy so he could never rest. He was always on guard so no one could "get one over" on him. It was tiring.

Mike was next and finally opened up about all of his feelings about Jeanette. He swore that he could hear her in his dreams and it was driving him mental.

He also admitted to hating the perfection label but also the perfect gentleman label. He was bred to be kind and nice and sweet and mild mannered and that wasn't always him. He had mood-swings like everyone else. He had less than presentable emotions like everyone else. He was entitled to be human like everyone else.

Mercedes told about how much Rose drove her crazy. All of her mother's focus was on her and it was hard to be under a spotlight for her entire life, especially for someone like Rose. But she felt she had to take it because she knew Marcus didn't love her.

She also admitted to feeling like Mike and Laura because she had to be the perfect lady at all times and it was draining her life force. She also had less than picture perfect emotions and she was scared that if anyone saw them, they wouldn't love her anymore. She even admitted to feeling like Puck judged her for being rich.

Quinn broke down in tears about being ignored by her parents because she wasn't a boy or the oldest girl. She thought it shouldn't bother her because she was a robot. Which made her cry harder. She and Marcy were brought up to be robotic leaders and not to have any emotions but Sam brought out feelings and they confused and enraged her.
