Interesting that Beth, who has all kinds of animus against Stephanie, would aid in her defense. Maybe it was “He’s grabbing a weapon! Stop him!” Or perhaps “He’s been fooling with my sister! Go ahead and hit him.” Or even “He tried to hit Stephanie, which in the final analysis, she doesn’t deserve. Time to get things under control.”
Or, as I would surmise, a bit of all three, in about a 50-10-40 split, respectively…
I’m thinking she saw him grab the poker, realized, in his maddened state, that he could potentially kill Mateo, so she whacked him before he even had a chance to get a shot in, ending the fight before it could escalate. At least, I HOPE she ended it.
Some people hit rock-bottom, Dave decided to keep digging! And always with the victimhood complex (“Whaaa! Nobody loves me! Woe is me!”). He’ll be lucky if he doesn’t end up the night in jail.
Among the hardest lessons life will drop on you is the realisation “You simply cannot save them all.”
Sometimes you just have to let people go their own path however dark it will be.
Dave managed to pile up a horriffic number of No-Go´s in just a few minutes.
Poor Mateo, his farewellparty turned into a smouldering crater…
Called it that Mateo would be beating the crap out of Dave, but good for Beth for finishing the fight… at least I hope it’s finished.
I really hope the police arrest him and gives him time to process how he just blew his life up as well as sever all of the friendships he’s had up to this point, all in one fell swoop. But, for all we know, he seems like far bigger of a threat than Mark was, and we saw what the police did to him…
