The family wakes up only to find a lot of racist paraphernalia hanging from the eaves of their home, as well as an epithet burned into the grass on the front lawn. They take it with dignity and resolve, except for the Lucky who likes to express her feelings.
She confronts Betty from across the street and they both square off.
This is another episode that makes you wonder if what you're seeing and what the characters are seeing are really there.
This is a horror show in more ways than one. In this episode we also get a taste of the horror of Betty's background. She visits her wealthy parents to ask for a loan so she and her husband can move. The parents are surprised to see her and the mother is especially cold to her and the father reacts rather oddly. We learned that Betty has not visited her family for about 7 years.
Dad is willing to write a check for her, or so we think, but he stops just at the moment of writing the check and tells her she needs a bath and he will draw it for her.
The mother brings her towels and she takes them and very fearfully goes up to one of the bedrooms. Now we've already seen that the family has a maid, Consuela, but it is the dad who's drawing the bath as Betty sits on the side of the bed tearfully and begins to panic. She abruptly leaves.
Well anyone who knows how to recognize trauma can definitely infer that daddy used to molest and rape Betty in the bath and this may be why Betty cannot have children, something that our protagonist pointed out to her.
So from my perspective daddy absolutely used to rape her, mama knew, and in order to maintain her station in life, her reaction was to be jealous of her daughter and to look the other way. So Betty, as racist as she is has some trauma in her background. For some this may elicit empathy or pity for Betty. Betty or the actor that plays Betty does such an excellent job that even knowing this has not reduced my hatred for her and what she's putting the family through.
Great episode wonderfully acted.
Meanwhile we already know that Dad is not going to share in the profits of this company as one of the engineers.
