The women portraying these complex characters are doing some really important work.
To give some quick context, we found out in the season-one finale that Celeste’s abusive husband, Perry , was actually Jane’s rapist and therefore her son Ziggy’s father. In the episode's final minutes, we see Bonnie shove Perry down a flight of stairs to stop him from further beating Celeste, and he dies from the fall.
In one particularly tough scene, Celeste finally opens up to her late husband’s mother about his abuse. Her twin boys found out through the grapevine that Ziggy is their half-brother, and this news sends Mary Louise spiraling. When Celeste reveals that Jane was raped, and that’s why Mary Louise didn’t know about Ziggy, Mary Louise deflects, blaming Jane and questioning her honesty. “She could’ve been drugged.
Another gutting moment in Sunday’s episode transpired when Jane tells Ziggy about his real father, Perry. Like the twins, Ziggy also found out at school that his real father was Perry. When Jane confronts Ziggy about why he didn’t ask her about it, he says he figured she wouldn’t tell the truth. Ziggy then says he heard Jane was “salted.
Sunday night’s episode was triggering for me, and I imagine it was for many women—women who’ve survived sexual abuse and domestic violence. Women who have been married to, related to, or parented an abuser. Women who are friends with people who’ve endured any kind of similar situation. Violence against women isn’t just pervasive in today’s culture; it’s woven into the fabric of our lives. Sexual violence is a constant threat to women .

Little League Coach Just Washed-Up Former Little LeaguerDERBY, KS—Speculating that the sad former star was probably just attempting to relive his glory days, several sources told reporters Friday that Little League coach Mark Clancy, 27, was nothing but a washed-up former Little Leaguer. “Look at him out there acting like he’s this big deal. This guy hasn’t been in the Little League for years. It’s pathetic,” said spectator Louise Birch on the out-of-shape coach of the Wichita regional Little League team, speculating that Clancy’s MVP medal for the Benton school Wolfpack went straight to his head and he’s never let it go. “You can just tell he thinks he knows it all just because he had a few good seasons back in the Westurban pee-wee league in the mid-’90s. He’s trying to make it feel like it did when he was 8 years old and throwing people out at first or batting .125. Yeah, he was pretty good in his prime—a lot of people around here remember him from back then—but to see him at 27? It’s just sad. He never even won a Little League World Series.” Birch also recalled the game two decades ago, where Clancy completely choked and let the ball roll between his legs, tripping backwards before accidentally throwing the ball to the third base instead of second.
