if you're wondering why Marissa was so worked up
I've been a long time lurker but I had to finally sign up because I saw many people really confused about the level of Marissa's anger at the restaurant in last night's episode.
Like, I agree on the surface it was confusing, right? They started arguing about generalities like a check-in? And then by the end of last night they were arguing about how they were arguing which was really fxcking annoying.
Anyway here's the answer:
*She was embarrassed because she doesn't want to be seen as a cheater or even just a casual fvck toy.*
What set her off was his initial comment on "if you cheated on me then you would lose."
She was mad he brought the incident up again on camera. She's ashamed and should be.
She wasn't really mad about "oh this was supposed to be a nice date."
That's a lie (and Marissa is a liar.)
She just so desperately wanted to control the narrative and her image and the fact that she even had a fvck toy in the past to keep in touch with let alone that she might be texting that fvckboy does not fit with the image she was trying to so carefully curate.
She was using the lie along with her gas lighting and reversing and etc to bury the fact that she's a hoooor.
PS EDIT I'm not new to reddit but I lost my login and so I can't post this anywhere else because my profile is so new I tried to post it to regular 90 day.... Feel free to share it my thesis please.
