Episode: 6
Betty leaves the room and passes two men in the hallway. At Frank's house that night, she drinks alone while looking at an old picture of Charlie on her phone. She remembers a confrontation from three years ago. Maggie gave her an ultimatum to choose Charlie or her mother's surgery money. Betty accepted the deal to save her mother. Back in the present, Betty sits alone on the floor with the photograph.
Betty steps out of the room marked CARLB. She passes a man wearing a gray suit in the hallway. Right after that, a man wearing a black suit walks into the space.
Betty sits by herself in Frank's house during the night. She drinks from a glass and stares down at her phone screen. An old picture of her and Charlie appears on the display.
In a flashback from three years ago, Maggie corners Betty outside a building. Maggie offers to pay for Betty's mother's surgery. She demands that Betty leave Charlie in exchange for the medical funds.
Betty breaks down and agrees to leave Charlie. Maggie throws the check onto the ground. She pins Betty's hand down onto the pavement and steps on top of it before walking away.
The scene returns to the present inside Frank's home. Betty stays seated on the floor by herself. She keeps her eyes fixed on the photo of Charlie saved on her phone screen.
“Break up with Charlie, and I'll cover your mother's surgery costs.”
“No, Maggie! I won't break up with Charlie! I love him!”
“Choose. Love, or your mother's life?”
“I... I'll break up with Charlie.”
Betty sits on the dark floor inside Frank's house, still staring down at the picture of Charlie on her screen. She remains trapped between her buried feelings and her secret marriage. Will Frank discover Betty drinking alone over her ex, or can she hide her lingering grief before he returns?
