Sometimes, I think maybe Im deader, she says of Perry.
Well, someone who might feel even deader than her is Bonnie.
Once again, Bonnie walks out deep into the water and goes under.
And its working because Bonnie is actually laughing!
Madeline is surprised to see this odd pairing and her presence suddenly makes it very awkward.
When Bonnie leaves, Madeline asks Ed how long he plans on punishing her.
Madeline deems that cruel and says her husband isnt a cruel person.
Whatever I am or have been hasnt netted the desired results, so why not mix it up?
Mary Louise says there was never a more gentler, tender boy than Perry.
He grew up to be neither, shoots back Jane.

As they go for a smoke, Renata goes to vent to Madeline at the real estate office.
Mary Louise is keeping busy, having also gone to see Quinlan for an update on Perrys case.
A mother needs to know, she tells the detective, who clearly doesnt think Perry just slipped.
He was the best monster, one of them fondly says about their dad.
You have no idea, kid.
Like always, Celeste is also thinking of Perry.
Celeste denies it, blaming the marks on breaking up a fight between the boys.
So much so that he actually does get to quickly meet Ziggy, showing the boy how to surf.
The incident with Amabella and the resulting outrage leads to an assembly on climate change.
Still in IDGAF mode, Nippal tells the parents to shut up before calling Madeline, a.k.a.
