The chapter is just subtitled ‘gay haircut’ in my script, and now we know why.

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Alex, close-up, speaking seriously)
Alex: He’s always changing his mind. He’s trying to keep you tired and confused. If you’re always trying to anticipate what he wants, you’re not thinking about what you want.
Panel 2 (Imogen, doubtful)
Alex (con’t): What do you want?
Panels 3+4 (close-up of Imogen buzzing the clippers, speaking without looking at Alex)
Imogen: I don’t know.
Panel 5 (Imogen takes the apron off of Gavin)
Imogen: All done, baby. Up you get.
Panel 6 (Imogen turns back to Alex, who is crossing her arms)
Imogen: I can’t talk about this around the kids. They love their dad.
Alex: You’re right, I’m sorry.
Panel 7 (Alex fiddles with the ends of her hair)
Alex: Hey… I could use a trim, if you’re free.
Oh I am strapping myself in for this haircut >////>
I doubt it’s *that* kind of haircut.
Yeah, more of a second haircut activity ime
Yeah definitely not appropriate to discuss in front of the kids.
Definitely needs to be discussed away from them.
I do agree with Alex, but yeah, probably a conversation best left for when they can get some privacy.
Yay, gay haircut!
Ahhh the cute little heart in the text box when she talks to her son <3
Love finding the cute little details you leave. You're great at
“Gay Haircut” lol
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but the kids will need That Talk soon so they’re not left in the dark. It’s great to love your mom and dad, but they need to know what’s going on. If not, they’re left confused, and they might think that the reason their parents are splitting is their fault. Take it from someone who watched their parents divorce as a kid.
They don’t need the “your dad is an emotionally manipulative, financially abusive shithead” talk.
They need something age appropriate.
Lucas already knows *that*. You want to let him be the one to tell his brothers?
I am loving that it’s not just Imogen who has a lot of learning and growing to do, but so does Alex. Is it haircut time/Wednesday yet? <3
