Big Little Lies Season 2, Episode 3 preview: Mary Louise sets her sights on Jane
By Reed Gaudens
In the latest episode of Big Little Lies, Mary Louise gets to know Jane while Madeline tries couples therapy and Renata goes on the warpath.
After Mary Louise butt heads with Madeline not once but twice (we’re still thinking about that moment with the cross necklace), Big Little Lies will next see Perry’s mother set her sights on Jane. In last week’s episode, Celeste and Jane were forced to reveal the truth about Perry, Ziggy’s parentage, and the whole nine yards to their children and Mary Louise. Naturally, Miss ML has some skepticism and questions for, well, the entire town of Monterey.
Meanwhile, the truth about Perry wasn’t the only secret revealed at the expense of Madeline. Chloe revealed that classified information and Abigail inadvertently outed Madeline’s affair to Ed. Who can our problematic fave trust in her home? Big Little Lies follows another therapy session as Madeline gives couples counseling a shot. But Renata isn’t so open to healing quite yet, as her apprehension about not being rich and Gordon’s legal misgivings have her taking out her wrath on an unsuspecting Principal Nippal. Maybe he had it coming?
