I feel like we're seeing a bit of that "narcissistic rage"...you know, when the narcissist realises the jig is up, when they realise you aren't buying it, the tears/lies aren't working. In other words, when they realize they are NOT in control of you, that they are no longer controlling the narrative. How many of us have been on the receiving end of that rage? It can be very scary. So scary that I'm sure many of you know that feeling where we think to ourselves "I am not going to show this person that I'm not buying this because I do not want to set them off." I honestly believe this is what was happening in the Murdaugh household. I think Maggie was reaching that point where she simply was not accepting the constant lies and manipulations of her narcissistic husband, and he was picking up on that and seeing it as an existential threat. Maybe she just couldn't keep that "I believe you" mask on as well as she used to. And who could blame her? It's exhausting. For the narcissist, when the manipulations stop working, that means the little world they have created starts to crumble around them. Their "world" is literally falling apart. In their mind, their survival depends on controlling the narrative. Whomever is threatening that narrative gets eliminated, in one way or other.Alec has his death stare on.
He's not snotting up the defense table today. Guess he's not moved by the last moments of his beloveds' lives.
