Trust. Jealousy. Paranoia. BUTTERFLY CONFIDES has it all. Marty feels she’s in a good place with David. She trusts him. While talking freely, she reveals that her relationships with Josh and Marshawn are much deeper than with her other porn partners. His questions give no indication of jealousy. Does he see himself as a supportive business executive or the secretive maestro of multiple dysfunctional personalities? His probes about her intentions to marry Bob seem like heartfelt inquiries. She reassures him that monogamy will not confine her libido. And she’s extremely pleased that he promised they’ll soon have their long-anticipated intimacy. True equality seems within reach!

But might her revelation to George and Bertie have triggered David’s paranoia? Her sympathy for their grief? Perhaps her interaction with ravens made him look away like he did? Could it have been her explanation of Bertie’s porn marketing methods? When he does that strange thing with his tie, it’s impossible to read his mind. Were his questions related to any of those things, or were they asked for an entirely different reason? Only Dolly, David’s mysterious black sheep, knows for sure. And Dolly never says a word.
