Max has been on an incredibly long journey with Sam. Max used to be like Frankie, making it look like Sam’s lack of support was the source of all their problems. The only difference was that Max would frequently break down and throw tantrums, whereas Frankie would raise tensions, quickly depart, and leave Sam wondering what she had done wrong. But it appears that Sam has passed the point where the light at the end of the tunnel becomes visible, and Max understands. Max has reached the point in her life where she has revolted against her mother and finally seen her as a person.
Now she can accept her as she is, as Sam Fox, an imperfect human being who did her best, and it gives her hope, despite the fact that it needed Max to get extremely drunk. Not just for Sam, but also for those who have children or wish for Frankie and Duke to grow up to be like their older sister. Sam, on the other hand, has had enough. Duke has always been on their phone, barely hiding their smoking addiction, Frankie is as annoying as ever, and Max? Max isn’t doing awful, but she’ll have to take a stand for the team because Sam needs help disconnecting everyone from their phones. This is a challenge for everyone, including Sam, who is just as reliant on her phone as her children.
Better Things Season 5 Episode 7 Recap And Review
Frankie has reportedly been Jay’s girlfriend since they were 13 years old. Jay’s traditional Vietnamese parents assume Frankie was his girl because he had a beard, not because she is a loving partner. This makes Sam a little sad, because Jay is incredible, and she feels bad that his parents are losing out on who he truly is. Sam, like most people, reassures Jay that her house is a safe place for him to be himself, which he enjoys. Duke, unfortunately, does not share Frankie’s feelings, but Frankie’s decision to prevent Duke from asking questions has just added to Duke’s frustration.
Where Was Jay All This Time?
One of the strange aspects of Better Things is how much goes on behind the scenes in Frankie’s life, especially what has been going on with Jerza and even Frankie too. But, while we’ve gotten a few details, the fact that Jay, who says Frankie has been their girlfriend since she was 13, is only now showing up?
Frankie’s turning into a tiny butthead with a grudge on their shoulder is bad enough, but now this person with whom they’ve been faking a relationship is presented? Isn’t it Frankie who has been pressuring Sam to tell the truth all along? Don’t get me wrong: Frankie’s desire to learn the truth about Sam and their father comes nowhere close to the desire of a closeted child, but it highlights Frankie’s duplicity and makes you wonder if we’ll ever get a fair resolution for Frankie. One that reminds us that life goes on, and Frankie may never completely grow out of her attitude.
Telling Sam About The Abortion
Max’s abortion has been a month, and neither Rich nor her believes Sam shouldn’t be kept out of the truth any longer. However, with Duke overhearing them, it appears like the secret is slowly coming out, leaving Rich with little choice except to act – especially since Max has backed down. So, while Sam avoids any exact details, she focuses on Rich being that, the problem is ended, and Max being fine. After all, that’s all she wants to hear at the end of the day.
Plus, after struggling with Max who was nothing more than a pain in the ass for so long, Sam is savoring in the fact that Max has returned home after drinking with Paisley, pleasant and affectionate. But now that she’s grown up and become more responsible, she might be able to make it without Sam. Now all I have to do is get these two over the hurdle.
In this episode, there were a few unsolved questions. For example, if they’ve been dating since they were 13, why are we only now meeting Jay? Even if it’s merely for the sake of keeping a cover story? Is it true that they’ve been together as long as Jason and Jerza? Why don’t Jerza’s parents ever visit? Were those kids truly unaware that Sam was Frankie’s mother? Is it true that Frankie avoids talking about their mother to that extent? Do you believe Duke is the way he is because he hasn’t found his tribe? As a result, the modishness?
