And then she burned her.” She’s referring to Marian’s cremation, which Jackie apparently knew was to hide the evidence of abuse. “Your mother never looked more beautiful than that day. “Goddamn Martha Stewart funeral,” says Jackie. She asks Camille what she remembers about Marian’s funeral. Camille goes to Jackie’s house, where Jackie offers her alcohol and pills, showing her the collection of illnesses she’d acquired. Leafing through it, she finds a bunch of requests for toxicology reports and diagnoses for Marian, all submitted by Jackie. Richard, as a parting shot, left the files about her sisters on Camille’s passenger seat outside the hotel. Who’s he referring to here, given everything he knows? Turns out Jackie had been inquiring about Marian’s death to hospitals. She tries to make excuses and defend John’s innocence, but whether he actually believes her or is just pissed at John for their hookup, he tells her, “It’s always the fucking family, Camille.” John gets arrested, Richard confronts Camille, of course. The cops find John at the hotel and Richard walks in to find Camille in there. It’s why she could never take her clothes off for Richard, even when they slept together.and Richard walks in on them. It’s like she needed someone as wounded as she was to open up to. They go to a hotel, where Camille actually takes her clothes off (remember, she stayed fully dressed every time she and Richard hooked up) and lets him touch her scars. He and Camille joke, morbidly, about whether their dead sisters would have been friends. He’s still very beaten up about Natalie’s death, in general. Camille sees through it, and tells him that she knows he’s innocent. He’s preparing to get arrested, and makes a show about what he thinks the cops wanted to hear about how he killed his sister. Camille hooks up with John.Īfter tracking John down to a bar a few miles outside of town, she finds John. But Ashley, painted as fame-hungry and posturing from moment one, uh, didn’t. She did exactly what we expected her to do, when the tone of the show suggested up until this point that women-especially young women-could be strong and defy the expectations put on them. I feel like Sharp Objects did Ashley dirty by wrapping up her storyline like this. But with a little coaxing and promises of having her face on TV, Vickery convinces her to give him up. He’s nowhere to be found and Ashley, at first, covers for him. Vickery and the cops go to Ashley’s house to find John and bring him in, after someone at the factory fingered him as Anne and Natalie’s murderer. Weird Cheerleader Ashley turns John Keene into the police. You want her to get out of there and save herself and go be complicated. I gotta say, it’s kind of refreshing to actually get to root for Amma, who was so dark and spiteful throughout much of this season. It seems like Amma is aware that there’s something in the medication, but she takes it anyway, albeit reluctantly. Adora takes her cell phone and gives her more medicine. Later, Amma tries to text people behind her mom’s back. She eventually submits to the medicine again. Obviously, cue the guilt about how Amma doesn’t need her anymore-make a lot of sense in light of the MBP diagnosis.
Adora tries to pin it on Camille, but Amma says she just needs sleep. When Adora tries to give Amma more medicine, she admits that she’s not actually sick, just hungover. Amma (finally) pushes back against her mother. He checks out Amma’s records and finds that she had also been admitted to the hospital several times for similarly suspicious reasons.
It also explains why Camille, by not submitting, was shunned by her mother. Munchausen’s by proxy seems like a natural fit. It was easy to spot, especially in retrospect, that Adora favored the daughters who didn’t fight back, and who let her take care of them. Okay, so we’re finding out that Adora possibly slowly murdered her own favorite daughter? Within the first ten minutes of the second-to-last episode? Something feels more complicated. She tells Richard she still has friends at the hospital, if he wanted to hear from them about “the other one”-presumably Amma. Nothing more laudable than someone taking care of her sick child.” The nurse reveals that when she went to the police, she lost her job at the hospital. She tells him, Munchausen by proxy (MBP) “is when you make someone else sick so you can care for them so you can save them, so you can try, so you can be seen trying.” Richard asks her if Adora has this, and she demures. The nurse tells her Marian was passed around from doctor to doctor, with various diagnoses. Richard tracks down a nurse working in a methadone clinic-her reputation clearly disgraced, wonder by whom-who tells him that she kept Marian Crellin’s file because she was suspicious about how she died.
