Well, I don't think Scott has really ended up in a better and safer place. Jackie might've been sexually abusing him, but still would've had limits and in the end their mother was coming back and sounded concerned for him. A random woman will probably just use him til he breaks since he gets smaller with every use. If Ethan's mom is subjecting her son to degrading treatment, I think Scott's just a boy toy in her eyes now. An adorable little boy she'll care for like a mother with Karen out of town perhaps, but I fear she's going to satisfy some needs or desires with him. He might not find an obese, plain faced, 50 yr old as tolerable as Jackie, whose at least a pretty teen like himself. I wonder if Jackie is possessive enough to demand him back, or if she'll leave him to his punishment if she know's he's at Ethan's and suffering under Sue? Curious to see if any of the women in Scott's life have his well being in mind. Karen's likely going to come back in a week to find him under 6in at the rate he's diminishing. She sounded very concerned for Scott when she learned he was infected so I wonder if she'll still be protective and matronly of him or if she's gradually become indifferent, apathetic or some other negative about her only stepson becoming completely helpless in a collapsing society. And if she finds out what Jackie's done to him, what will she do and whose side will she take?
