Show Notes
As Taytum tries to commit to James, the “safe” alternative to Ryder, she is haunted by her mother’s observation that James hasn’t matched the way Ryder looks at her. A weekend visit to James ‘s house quickly turns dark when he reveals a past struggle with drug addiction (WARNING MENTION OF DRUG ABUSE) and begins to drink heavily in front of her. As he recounts a history of bar fights and chaos, Taytum realizes with a sinking heart that James’s demons might be far more dangerous than the “vicious cycle” she was trying to escape.
