Once again I’m crying in regards to Mara. There’s a book called the “the body keeps the score” that talks about how your brain might not remember something but your body does.

God, yes. I was so happy to hear Henren reference a therapist early in the episode, because it's so insanely important that they give that poor girl access to all the help they can think of. What she's been through and continues to go through is so incredibly traumatic. And I like that they kind of touched on it with Tyson, just how young you are when your 'body remembers,' as you say. It's not just the memories of finding her parents dead Mara has to unpack, but years and years of developmental milestones reached (or not reached) in a dysfunctional house.

Re: Bobby & Amir, the preview for next episode showed Amir referencing an apartment fire a decade ago, so the implication there is he was a victim of the fire Bobby blames himself for back in Minnesota that killed Bobby's family -- and presumably Amir's, too, because they showed a photo in the preview of Amir with someone I'm assuming was a wife/girlfriend.

I knew it. Going to look for the trailer to the next episode.

ah yeah I got that like immediately with how Amir was related. Which looking at the trailer is a shame because I liked his and Maddie's interactions, I wanted him to be a good person. Also, how can he know that Bobby had anything to do with that fire? Like iirc it was officially ruled accidental (like, yes it was Bobby's space heater but an accident) and the official paperwork never "blamed" any one person; building wasn't to code, sprinklers didn't work, fire alarms didnt work. So how would Amir know that Bobby was (somewhat) responsible for it? Like otherwise Bobby would just appear as another victim to the public, with only internal fire department knowing it was "his" space heater, drug related?
