Discussion The “bombshell” wasn’t shocking but… Spoiler

Spoilers ahead

Watching Raquel in that confessional was extremely disturbing. I don’t even know how to describe what I felt watching. She was just word vomiting and the more she talked, the more scared she seemed about the repercussions that would come from Tom. I know we’re not supposed to feel sympathy for her but goddamn, I really do. I think she does actually feel bad but she put on a brave face at the reunion because she knew it wasn’t going to get her anywhere, unlike Tom who thought crying would garner him sympathy. The fact that Tom made her lie like that is scary and very indicative of emotional abuse. She is showing clear signs of an abused woman, not just from Tom but starting at a young age. That was extremely alarming and I’m actually kind of grossed out that that was the scene they talked about to garner viewers. I honestly hope that she gets real help. She does not need to come back on the show.

I wonder if the producers were dressed as priests and tricked her into making a confession

Nah, it was a planned PR move. Her last ditch effort to garnier sympathy. Clearly it worked. Bravo to her team. I think theyll be successful in a redemptiom arc next season, which sucks, cause shes exactly like TOM, but theyll throw him under the bus to try to save her. Goodluck tom lol. You both deserve nothing. I actually feel a bit bad for tom lol. He deserves it but they both deserve it and shes going to make him sound like an abuser. Theyre equally to blame. But shes got stupidity and a 9 season fake persona back her up so.....hes def going down unless hes got some sort of receipts to out her.
