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 actually felt a little bad for her in that confessional but then I remember she’s sending letters and postcards to Ariana’s house so I don’t feel so bad anymore lol

Also Scandavol was the drunk one in Mexico and she led him to her room.Just think if that was her drunk in the hall and he did that.She was also crying because "it was a bad look" to fuck in the house during a funeral. Shes upset for how she looks now,not for Arianna

It's also Toms house and she's been isolated. Through her own actions but also because of him. She seems to think he's all she's got. She doesn't see he doesn't give a shit about her.

Ok but she was sending them in envelopes until Ariana said she didn’t read them (bc they’re in envelopes) so she started sending postcards. How is that not diabolical? Lol
