This episode continues to follow along Beth’s journey and I was particularly interested in how the episode opened. With Beth in class and finding new people to talk to it is allowing her to come out of her shell a little bit. I was surprised at how open Beth was with her Mother about where she had been and what she was doing, and the way her mother seemed to respond almost nonchalantly. This serves to give more background as to the way she was used to being dealt with and how other people probably wanted her to come out of her shell also. Then, thinking about how she has problems trying to relax and we see it took a solid amount of effort to open up to the man and try to become intimate. This episode served to lead us further through her story while still adding on details about her background that help clue us in on her various actions.
