Little Fires Everywhere recap: The custody battle begins
— released in one fell swoop last week — set the wheels in motion for the custody battle to come, episode 4 examines what motherhood means and who’s deserving of that opportunity. The contrasts between Elena and Mia have been pretty stark since the opening moments of the premiere.
Meanwhile, Elena’s reading up on Lilith Fair in an attempt to learn about Izzy’s interests, still upset Izzy won’t confide in her like her other children. One of Elena’s fundamental parenting flaws — as has been frequently teased — is her somewhat deluded understanding of her relationship with her children. She believes what she wants to believe and right now, that’s 1. three of her children confide in her and 2. Izzy’s been spending time with Carl .
But any previous thaw between Elena and Mia has firmly frozen back over. Elena is more interested in talking about Bebe driving Mia’s car to crash the McCullough party and how odd it is that Mia hasn’t asked about Linda. Mia sidesteps the car question but the two suspiciously eye one another, nothing really left to say. While the pieces are still falling into place, the battle lines are becoming much clearer — and they are not on the same side.
While she publicly exudes a pleasant Mrs. Cleaver energy, Elena’s vicious and calculating when it comes to defending her interests. Under the guise of writing a story, she demands Scott provide crucial info on Bebe, which she presents to Linda as confirmation Bebe’s looking for a lawyer. Her advice is to talk to Bebe and “make her see” that a life with the McCulloughs would be better. But Linda can’t bring herself to give Bebe the time of day, so Elena takes matters into her own hands.
By the time Elena arrives home from Bebe’s, she is incensed and looking for a fight, which she finds with Mia. Elena feels personally wronged by Mia’s position in the custody matter, despite the latter assuring her it’s not about the two of them, but Mirabelle/May Ling — a baby she believes belongs with the birth mother who wants her badly. Disgusted, Elena calls Mia a bad mom, citing everything from her frequent moves to her minimum wage side jobs.
