I love ‘But The World Keeps Turning’ and can’t wait for Richie to find out about Sonia so Eddie can get the help he needs. Can you give any spoilers to Richie’s reaction?
1. I love this ask
2. I love you for sending it
So the thing about Richie “finding out” about the extent of Sonia’s abuse is that it’s not quite an all-at-once discovery. There are little things that pop up over the course of the final chapters that clue him in to the fact that hey, maybe this bitch is more than a little crazy and then a few other things that send him into fits of indignant rage and/or extreme concern for Eddie’s well-being.
However, I’ll give you this: When Eddie, somewhat unwittingly, gives Richie a good look into his head, Richie spends all day pretending not to be absolutely torn apart, and in the middle of the night he cries all over Bev about it and they have a heart-to-heart about Some Things :)
