Richie catches up with Kate at the pool and strikes up an easy conversation with her. In the movie, the two respected each other almost from the beginning. I also think it’s because there’s no respect between Jacob and Seth in the show, at least none that’s evident.

The scene played better in the movie, mostly because Seth is cool and Jacob is resistant and they have to play “who’s the boss.” It’s toned down here a bit, and I’m finding more and more the tamer versions aren’t doing the movie justice. I really missed Seth saying, “It’s called a punch.” Richie is dispatched to the pool to get Kate while Seth schools Jacob in acting lessons. Keeping on task, they find Scott and Jacob alone, barge in, and take over.

They dupe the clerk and get the Fullers’ room number. Throughout Kate’s time at the pool, Seth and Richie are busy. It’s cliché, but reference Seth and Richie’s past. They fight about it in the car, she becomes enraged, slapping at him (hence the cuts) and while defending himself, trying to calm her down, the car accident occurs. Spitball idea… (and while I know this review is way late, I haven’t seen Episodes 5 or 6 yet) Jacob’s wife has an incurable disease, she wants Jacob to kill her, and he refuses. Ultimately, it’s going to have to come back to something that was out of his control and in “God’s hands.” God failed Jacob and his family, at least that’s what he believes. That doesn’t wash with the faithless preacher. Whatever it is, I can’t see Jacob being responsible for his wife’s death. Back at the pool, Kate wants to know what Jacob is hiding and so do we. When Kate confronts Jacob after the prayer, he tells Kate that her mother just has another migraine. While Kate is reading, we see the accident in flashback, along with a time when Kate watched Jacob pray over her mother, asking God to help her find her path again. We find out that Jacob did fight with his wife just before the accident, as evidenced by the defensive wounds on his arms. We come to find out that Jacob wasn’t legally drunk (yes, he’d been drinking but was well under the legal limit) but the details still don’t support his story about avoiding a deer.

While she’s sunning herself in a chair, he’s reading the full accident report from the night her mother died. Being the typical teenager, she ends up closing the door in his face, changing clothes, and going to the pool. He apologizes for getting drunk and she tells him she no longer feels safe with him, that she doesn’t trust him anymore. Jacob bangs on the door and demands that she open it, like she’s ten, and so she does, standing tall in her bra, which clearly embarrasses Jacob. Once they’re in the room, Kate goes into the bathroom to change into her bikini (she’s gonna hit the pool). Tension rises as Jacob grabs Scott by the collar and shoves him against the wall, telling him they’re still a clean family and they don’t talk like that. The Fullers check into the Dew Drop Inn and en route to their room, Scott calls Jacob half-drunk.

DJ Cotrona has nailed Seth Gecko from the start. He’s swigging from his beer, evaluating the situation, and smiling that smile. Fans of the movie will appreciate the homage scene where the motor home almost runs Seth over.
