In the Treehouse, Annie is lecturing the kids about how much they all need Mary. But they've already got one rude megabitch in Annie. Why would they need another? Annie holds the delusion that Mary is capable of being loving and supportive toward her family, and I'm not sure if anyone could disabuse her of that notion right now. She's really gone crazy. As punishment for their disobedience, Annie is sentencing them to live in the Treehouse. She has brought them a change of clothes, a week's allowance and "some school books." They are allowed to use the toilet in the CamPound, but that's it. No shower facilities, no food, and probably no water either. Great parenting, Brenda Hampton-style! I don't even know if this is fucking legal. If she's not planning to provide the basic necessities for her under-eighteen-year-old children, shouldn't she be in jail? ["And shouldn't their father have something to say about it? I know he's scared of Annie -- and he can join the very large club -- but this is so over the top, it's totally incomprehensible that Eric wouldn't try to talk her out of it." -- Sars] Please tell me that the kids are going to move out on their own and not go crawling back to their heinous mother. They'd have to be safer living on their own. At the very least, can't they finish the treehouse themselves? I seem to remember that Lucy knows how to install a toilet. I don't know. Words really fail me at this point.
