Tear Jerker / Labor Day

• The level of Adele's depression is so severe that she rarely goes out, relies on checks, and stutters and shakes.
• Adele swearing to Frank that she "won't let anything happen to her son", after Frank decides to stay for a night.
• Following Henry's birth, Adele and Gerald tried for a second child. She suffers from three miscarriages as a result.
  Adele: "I'd start feeling the nausea and the swelling. We'd celebrate. Begin setting up the nursery. Only to wake up feeling betrayed by my own body." (Stands up in bed, sees the blood, and begins crying.)
  • After carrying their fourth attempt to full term and going into labor, the baby is born stillborn. The doctor brings in the baby for Adele to hold in the hospital.
    Adele: "Maybe they just took pity on me. They wrapped her in a pink blanket and put on a diaper. The only one she'd ever wear. As I stared at this beautiful little girl, her long eyelashes, her daddy's nose, my chin, the little mouth that would never take a breath, I knew there would be no further conversations. No more attempts. We were done. (Spots a pregnant women at the pharmacy and breaks down in her car.) The world had become a cruel place. I stopped going for walks. I couldn't leave the house. I couldn't even open a window at night. Eventually when Gerald left, I understood. I had become a prisoner.
• The reveal of what Mandy did to Frank.
