Why the heck would Peter say that...

“Mae isn’t allowed near the girls.”

Mae never hurt the girls.

[[Putting the rest under the cut to avoid spoiling anything for anyone.]]

I mean, yeah, she asked Sabastian to the dance, but she had no clue that Jules liked him and when she learned that Jules liked him, she rectified the situation.

And yes. she went to the Harvest dance with Teddy after Helen dumped him (in Suzanne’s dress, but like, neither Jules not Helen wanted to wear it & Mae didn’t have a dress or money to buy one. I don’t understand why the girls acted like Mae was stealing something from them.) but who else did she have to go with? Mae turned Sabastian away in an attempt to be a good friend to Jules, Isaac wasn’t friendly towards Mae, & it was the day of the dance. It makes sense that Mae asked (or maybe Teddy asked her; the show wasn’t clear on that) the one guy she knew needed a date given time constraints.

All Mae wanted was to be friends with the girls and have a family who loved her. Yet Peter acted as though Mae was the villain of the story. She isn’t.

Yes, she pretended the cult gave her the white roses and drove to Amon County herself, but you have to remember that she was raised & brainwashed in the cult. She only knows what she’s been raised to know. Victims of such things take years of therapy & years of hard work to break that mentality.

Once more, for good measure, Mae is NOT the villain of this tale.
