FIVE. The whole subplot with her mother. WAS IT NECESSARY? Did her mom NEED to randomly show up? Did Abby really need to find out through Jesse that she died? AND identify the body?

It didn’t really give us anything new but it filled a lot of gaps along the way and it was nice to see how other characters were perceived or what went on in their heads in different scenarios.His short answers were beginning to bug me. “That’s it?

I just wanna hang out.” My frown involuntarily smoothed and I sighed. “I didn’t say you’re a bad person. I just don’t like being a foregone conclusion for the sole reason of having a vagina.” I focused on the grains of salt on the table until I heard a choking noise from Travis’ direction.FOUR.
