Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tommy relays his belief that Catherine is at fault and is getting away with her actions which motivates Frances, who is standing in Catherine's backyard at the end of the episode, to watch (spy on) her family; Frances studies Ryan with a mixture of fondness and analysis, imagining how Tommy Lee Royce would view his son."
