Obviously, he does not reveal that he outed her to serve another agenda, but you have to believe that's going to come up at some point. "You are your own thing," Cory responds helpfully (?).
Bradley cries about how she comes from "rotten roots," and Laura makes her feel happy, and Hal reminds her of those rotten roots. Bradley says their mother is not their problem to solve, and he doesn't need Bradley, he needs rehab - and she'll even pay for it.Ĭory shows up (of course, Cory started all this, remember) at Bradley's and tells her that the network doesn't expect her to respond to all this nonsense. Being around her, he says, will help him fix his life, but not if he has to listen to their mother complain all day about Bradley. Hal further reveals that he's been using, and he really needs help. When Bradley finally gets herself to go home, she learns that her brother has been taking frantic calls from her mom all day about Bradley being with a woman. Laura gives her some pretty good but hard to hear advice about how she needs to get some therapy and deal with how she's feeling, just like Laura once did. No other news! Relationship gossip only! When Laura calls later, Bradley admits that she's still hiding in her dressing room. Pop Culture Happy Hour In HBO's 'Scenes From A Marriage,' Acting Is EverythingĮvery single alert on Bradley's phone is about herself and her alleged relationship, which is hilarious.
