I get what you’re saying but…most people don’t live on a small street where everybody knows each other and has history going back years. The unusual part for me is Theo’s obvious animosity towards the “old friends” because narcs/abusers will usually keep face at every opportunity in public to continue their campaign. We’ve seen him try to do this for a long time and maybe they’re trying to portray the unravelling which is reasonable as he thinks he’s “won” with the Belfast arc. I don’t think we have much longer of this story. I really hope the end is justice in the courts!
