First off, you weren't kidding when you said the Brokes would be taking a darker turn! I don't remember if I said this before, but this legacy really feels like an actual legacy. The whole connection with the new generation and the new is done so well. I feel so bad for the Brokes having learned of this sad secret. It is a burden only family members can understand.
I really like the telling of this chapter, with Thomas going to the counselor and stuff. Again, it adds to the new dysfunctional element.
Love the basketball court/gym. :D
Very sad with Rose Mary and Buck. I remember when I thought she would be the one hurting him!
This chapter really reminded me of how children so easily the victims of domestic disputes. I don't blame either parent, but it really takes a lot to reassure your kids that any separation isn't going to leave them with less love.
I look forward to seeing how the Brokes will brave through this dark cloud. Maybe not immediately but eventually. They're strong!
It's good to see the Broke's back, even if this was a really heart-wrenching episode. So many people I want to comfort, so many people I want to smack upside the head. Sometimes the same person even (I'm looking at you, Buck Grunt).
Wow. I'm really surprised that the Grunts fell for Olive's story hook, line and sinker. I'm not convinced that Cosmo was responsible for "killing Lyla," and Puck and Wanda are right. It makes me wonder though if the Grunt boys were just looking for an excuse to leave. You find out from a questionable source that your grandfather in law is a killer, and now you want a divorce? And before, everything was just peachy? Call me skeptical, I guess. *grrrrr

Amazing. So heartbreaking- poor Rose Mary, oh my gosh!- and yet somehow heartlifting. Or am I crazy for thinking that?
Can't wait for part 2!
