Sean even kept in contact with Hank when Alex asked him not to, leading up to Hank witnessing an emotionally abusive, one-sided fight where Sean yelled at Alex for not wanting to eat dinner. Though he has been trying to bond with his estranged daughter all season, Hank has a deeper relationship with Sean, as he is a recovering alcoholic and has been acting as Sean's casual sponsor. To get evidence for her case, Alex asks her father Hank to testify that Sean has abused her. Instead there will be another hearing over custody rights, similar to the one is episode 2, and Alex isn't allowed to leave the state with Maddy until then, risking her spot at school. Her new high-powered lawyer, courtesy of her client (and now friend) Regina, serves Sean with a motion and restraining order, but he argues that Alex is lying about him abusing her. Sean gives up his custodial rights over Maddy.Īt the start of the episode, Alex is still duking it out with Sean through the courts, with less than a week to go before her summer semester begins in Montana.
Instead, she heads off to her new life with Maddy.
Alex is sad that her mother's entering another doomed relationship, but she doesn't change her plans for Paula. She's staying with Micah instead, since the man kicked out his wife for her. She does agree to supervise Maddy's supervision with her dad, and when things go south, she handles it well, bringing Maddy back to Alex.Īfter the incident with Sean, Paula changes her mind, telling Alex that she wants to go with her and Maddy to Montana. When Alex confronts her that night in the Walmart parking lot, Paula's still in denial about everything, claiming that she's living in her car because she likes being nomadic. She also, in typical fashion, skips a doctor's visit for a shift at her new job, selling glass art with her new married boyfriend, Micah. Paula turns down the offer at first, since generations of her family have lived in Washington.
