![]() ![]() Nate’s parents seem to be frightened of their own son, and for good reason upon understanding that he and Maddy’s relationship is over, Nate goes straight for his dad’s gun, seeking to retrieve the sex tape from Maddy. We know that’s the moment when Nate first found his dad’s meticulously organized collection of sex tapes, but I’m not sure that explains Nate’s issues - it is implied that Cal was violent with Nate, at the very least. Marsha goes on to accuse Nate of inheriting all the worst traits from his father, and even speculates on what went wrong, pinpointing the moment he “darkened” at around nine years old. For Nate and Cal, reputation is everything. She casually reminds Nate that he choked Maddy - which didn't bother Marsha at all - but the mere mention of this infuriates Nate, who reiterates that the charges were dropped, as though the law aligns with reality itself. Nate doesn’t like to acknowledge this aspect of himself, and he despises it when others do, but Marsha (as we saw in Cal’s flashbacks) is a pretty frank person who enjoys pushing boundaries. We rarely spend much time with Marsha in the show, but the scene proves pretty revealing, as the two immediately bond over their shared dislike of Cal, but it doesn’t take much playful prodding from her to spark Nate’s temper, which is always swimming under the surface, ready to emerge at the slightest provocation. He knows it’s over between him and Maddy, so Nate drowns his sorrows with his mother, Marsha. ![]() ![]() The second he looks at his phone, Nate knows exactly what happened yesterday, because Cassie has been frantically calling every second she can, while Maddy hasn’t contacted him at all. This proves to be a Nate-centric episode, which are always the best the guy is coldly calculating, yet wildly unpredictable. Nate is still basking in the glow of his victory over Cal, who has left the family to pursue his sexapades Ash, it seems, hit Cal hard enough to come out of the closet. ![]()
