Carole actually, finally, worked up the nerve to go and see her son, the day after his arrest. She finished crying about it a long time ago.
No one should allow their kids to do such things, and when the kids do? Crying about it all the time, in front of them, does no one good, and she's determined to show him how serious this is.
Finn was processed and place in a holding cell the day before, and it wasn't all that bad in his mind. He had stopped crying in the car pretty early, and he got to relax in the cell the whole time, without really worrying about anything or anyone else. He thought he slept pretty well, for someone who's been arrested for assault.
"You've got yourself your first visitor, Hudson."
Finn sits up in bed and wonders whether it's one of the guys or his mother. He gets escorted out of the cell and towards the meeting room.
"Finn."
Carole steps into the interrogation room, and Finn smiles at her.
Her face hardens, "I can't see how you can smile at me at a time like this, as if nothing is wrong."
He furrows his brow, "At a time like what mom? I'm getting out, aren't I?"
She shakes her head, "No, you aren't. This is some serious stuff Finn. You can't just walk away from this."
"I didn't do this!" He yells out, all games out the window.
Carole shuts her eyes as his voice drowns out even her thoughts when he yells.
She opens them and quickly indicates to the guards that everything is alright, before turning to Finn.
"Yes. You did. And the sad thing is? I really believe you did. You have no where you can go Finn. I can't even recognize you. I seriously can't believe that my son has done something like this."
Finn starts to tear up. Not at all able to accept that his own mother is siding against him.
"Are you crying because you're sorry you've done this, or are you crying because you got caught?"
He's angry when he bursts out, "Cuz I'm here! Cuz I got caught and got sent here! I wouldn't even be here crying if I didn't get caught. This is so stupid. I didn't do anything wrong!"
"How the hell can you keep defending yourself?! You physically used your strength to hurt another person! That's not okay!"
Finn growls, "If she didn't do the things she's done, I wouldn't have had to. It's her fault mom. If she just butted out!"
Carole can't believe her ears right now, "It's her fault that you hurt her? Finn, I've heard a lot of really messed up things, a lot, and nothing I've ever heard can ever come close to this caliber of messed up. You can't be serious."
Finn shakes his head, "My own mom."
"Yeah Finn. Your own mom. Your own mother is repulsed by just how entitled her son feels when it comes to things he thinks he deserves. Just absolutely repulsed by your justifications for your actions. These are inexcusable things you've done to another human being! Disgusted, completely, that you're blaming the other person for your actions! She's the victim here Finn, not you!"
Finn clamps his mouth shut and refuses to speak to her any further, which is fine to Carole, because she's got plenty to say to make up for it.
"Never in my whole life have I ever been so disappointed in you Finn. I thought I raised you better than this? I thought I taught you better, taught you to never use your size like this. Hell, come to think of it, it isn't even just the physical assault now is it? It's the predatory behavior you've been expressing. You and I both know that you confessed to the Berry residence ordeal. You and I both know you did that. When has something like that ever been okay?"
