[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SPOILER DO NOT READ if you haven't seen the show!  - how did her mom die?  was it hepatitis?  Is it related to her alcoholism?

She said she was in love with Townes?  Is that the reporter?  Why didn't she pursue that?

Who was the man her real mom Alice was talking to before she died?  What were they saying?  [/quote]

That was Beth's dad and his new family/wife.  She asks for help with taking care of Beth.[/quote]

I wasn't sure about this scene. I thought it might be that she had an affair with a married man because he kept telling her she had to get out of there. If it was just a previous wife or relationship why all the secrecy? I feel like there were some unanswered questions with Beth's mom and why she felt she had to do what she did.[/quote]

I thought her mother was a brilliant math ph.d who was perhaps bipolar or similar and was losing her mind. She was trying to drop off Beth with her real father to keep Beth safe, but when he refused she saw no alternative but to kill  both herself and Beth in a car crash. But Beth survived.[/quote]

But wasn't there a scene where the dad showed up outside Beth and her mom's house and wanted to see her (Beth) but the mom refused. What changed that he would now be telling Alice that she had to leave and couldn't be there at his house? I followed the gist of the story there just seemed to be some missing details, or I blinked and missed.[/quote]

When Beth's dad came to the trailer to advocate for better living conditions for their daughter and her mom wouldn't talk to him, he told her he was done from that point. That's why he said it was too late when she showed up at his house, after he had started a new family. She was having a breakdown and tried to kill both of them in the car. [/quote]
