The Aftermath: Picking Up the Pieces After Time Out

Burning Butterflies

Chapter 4, Episode 13

In this episode, Amanda and Melissa dive into the aftermath of Tom and Charlotte’s decision to put Amanda and Brandi on "time-out." The fallout reveals the tangled web of manipulation and control within the church, as everyone scrambles to maintain a façade of order.

Melissa finds herself knee-deep in planning the church play, juggling the demands of her role while navigating the tension created by Froggy trying to both be the lead of the play and the director. Tom, recognizing the need to keep Brandi occupied, assigns her to help Melissa with the play—a move that he doesn't fully think through the repercussions.

Meanwhile, Amanda buries herself in office work, using the tasks as a way to avoid the emotional toll, but still maintaining her friendship with Brandi in secret. And when Young Gun returns to find everything he put into place had been undone? Well, you're not going to want to miss when Amanda and Melissa unpack how these events exposed the toxic dynamics of the church and marked the beginning of a shift in their perspectives.
