Grounded, Completely and Totally—Part 1
- So now Vera is both staying home from school (because of the big bump on her head) and she's grounded from working. Basically, she's going stir-crazy at home.
- On top of that, her dad has signed them up for therapy sessions together. Great.
- In the therapy session, they role play a conversation as the other person, so Vera is pretending to be her dad, and he's pretending to be her.
- As she's talking, she says that she's never gotten over her mom—and the room goes silent. She and her dad realize simultaneously that they've never really dealt with their emotions about her mom leaving.
- When they leave, the therapist gives them an assignment to write a little something about Vera's mom.
