You know how you do that? You go home and pack. You move out. You have Sylvia recommend an attorney to draw up a settlement agreement to save him the trouble of suing you for neglecting Gail. You hand over Hailey. And you never speak to him again.

You fool. You absolute fool. You just threw your entire life away with both hands. He’ll sue you for custody of Hailey, you know. There’s no Finn. There’s no forgiveness. You utter fool.

I’m struck by how zero sum game Elliot’s situation is— how anyone’s situation would be. In a way, it would’ve been better if Finn had never said the words at all. There is no best case scenario. Even if nothing had happened there is no best case scenario.As for “honesty,” I’m with Sylvia. The truth accomplishes nothing but more destruction, the last thing anyone needs right now.
