The thing about the "you're disgusting" is that it's brutal, raw, but honest. Thomas is a religious young man, who loves his family, who believes in religion (perhaps to a fault as any person who lives by any ideology), and is trying to be decent in the face of that which he finds repulsive in every way. Charlie is a gay man, who had a sexual relationship with a student (questionable age difference, lustful tendencies), usurped his family for his own wants (pride), used a woman to have a child (envy) then left that child to live a life with his lover, only for that lover to die, and now he binge eats (gluttony), chooses to not help himself in any way (sloth), keeping all wealth to himself (wealth), and explodes when angry, to the point that he openly shows contempt for Thomas' religion, disrespecting/blaming/dishonoring his faith based on his own lifestyle he chose at every point. To anyone like Thomas, there comes a point where pity becomes contempt, especially for someone as pathetic as Charlie. And that "You're disgusting!" was ironically needed to be honestly be spoken to Charlie in order to push him to tell his daughter what she needed to hear "You're beautiful!". As it is always said, the truth shall set you free. This doesn't mean that the truth won't hurt. Thomas wasn't bad, he's young, and he has flaws like any other person. But he is trying (going back home, making amends with his past). Charlie wasn't bad, he's flawed like any other person, but he wasn't trying for so long, he was running from that leap he needed in order to be free of his pain and his guilt. Much like Moby Dick and Captain Ahab. He needed to reign in the whale (his worst aspects, the wild side that quite literally destroyed his life) and free himself of the obsessive guilt/weight (pun intended) that prevented him from moving on and improving his life, or at the least his relationships with those he had wronged due to his choices (Captain Ahab).
I think her calmness is the result of her becoming a professional agent of chaos. She's more unhinged than before. Based on the photos on her when Milo was helping Zoya, she even worked with Kim Jong Un. Who knows what other sinister things she's done since Serena and Dan got married.
He is using kate cause she isnt the Woman that he "like" ...he will run after her if he would "feel " Something for her because this is what he is doing the whole time
Is it just me or these two are slightly based on Jeffrey Ep. and Ghislane Maxwell? Jeffrey, like Joe, didn’t go to college and still taught in a prestigious university. The resemblance of Kate and Ghislane is also insane.
