In his heart, cruel summer is mostly about memory. By changing between three different times in each episode, this series not only sustains the mystery, but investigates how our personal stories about events can be tilted: by trauma, by nostalgia, or by our opinions about the people around us. But after suffering extreme circumstances, our brains can even change our memories of traumatic events, leaving our memories of them with spotity. Episode 4 cruel summer (titled “You don’t hunt, you don’t eat”) Interrogate Kate’s memory properties: Is it possible that they have been changed by the PTSD? And if so, what does that mean for the case against Jeanette and its own efforts to move forward?

Most of the actions of episodes revolve around the annual hunting trip Whises, which is another important social meeting for Skylin, the Texas elite. This trip also offered us the introduction of the main new character: Rod Ashley’s teenager’s daughter (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut), who was not too happy about her father’s marriage with joy. In ’93, he rejected Kate’s efforts on all kinds of brotherhood, openly expressing his hatred for how his father had been pushed into a rich life, life rich with joy without thinking about how it affected him as a black man, and called the joy of diggers Gold to Kate’s face when he tried to tell Ashley about Joy’s affair.

That night, the extraordinary Kate sneaked out of his cabin and finally found comfort through impossible trust … Martin, who joy had invited a trip as a hospitality show. He assured him to open himself about the struggle to keep the family secret by sharing one of his belongs: his father died of suicide when he was a teenager, and that was why he was so jumping around the gun during the hunting time. A cruel summer is not afraid to release a very explicit shadow through the multi-timeline approach – in a dark irony twist, we already knew that Martin was shot down on the night Kate escaped. But Kate clearly knew she was far better than she left before the kidnapping, and the implications of care were quite disturbing themselves.

On ’94, Kate was annoyed by Ashley’s efforts to bind him – why now, and not after their parents married almost a decade ago? Kate told the steps how she met Martin after Ashley refused to listen to it during a camping trip, and clearly thought he was one of the many people blamed because of his kidnapping. Ashley’s ’93 Monologist is the only time race that is explicitly mentioned in a cruel summer, but hopefully the exploration of the show and Kate’s privileges will be pushed further in the upcoming episode.

Instead of attending a hunting trip this year, Kate’s parents demanded her start therapy. After some doubts, he admitted he could not shake the feeling that everything in his life had been tainted by the loss trauma, from the illusion of “safe space” for his relationship. While Jamie, his old friends, and Joy were all pushed after Kate again, he found an unlikely allies at the office of the therapist: Mallory. They tie the alienation of teen trauma, and of course, hatred with them for Jeanette.

On ’95, Kate and Mallory became best friends, which is not possible. After Kate’s lawyer warned him that the Jeanette defense aimed to poke his story, he expressed the fact that the loss of his case could mean trapped in banknotes in a city that thought he was a liar -instead, he and Mallory became high in the bathtub. But their moment of pause spoiled when the joy showed him someone’s record left on the door of those who only read, “liar.” Worried that the city would turn against Kate, Joy Mandat made an annual hunting trip to drum support for the name Wallis family. Kate agreed, but on one condition: Mallory must come too. Joy hated Mallory for his part in turning his daughter who was obedient into anger, becoming the Pacifists he became, and even accused
