How It All Goes Down
- Eva recalls a prison-time chat she had with Kevin, when he accused her of never wanting him.
- "I thought I did," she says. "And your father, he wanted you—desperately" (6.3).
- Kevin is insulted by the "thought she did" business.
- Eva tries to explain that motherhood was harder than she expected—and that she never formed an automatic attachment to him.
- Flashback time.
- Eva and Franklin kept their own last names when they married. She, Khatchadourian. He, Plaskett.
- Eva and Franklin decide that if it's a girl, she'll be a Plaskett. If it's a boy, he'll be a Khatchadourian.
- We make that decision seem easy, but Eva and Franklin actually argue about it for a while. It's the first of many arguments that strain their marriage.
