Sometimes mothers must make the most difficult choices. As seen in this exclusive clip from Grosse Pointe Garden Society Season 1 episode 9, Birdie is faced with her own difficult decision. Which man’s favor will cause the scales to weigh in his favor?
The new NBC twisted drama, Grosse Pointe Garden Society has viewers trying to unravel all the buried stories that tie this group together. Alice, Brett, Catherine, and Birdie, the members of this club, pile the dirt on each other higher and higher. As they try to cover up a crime, they dig themselves a deeper hole.
Airing on Friday, April 11, Grosse Pointe Garden Society Season 1 episode 9, “The Frost” is more than a wintry mix blustering in another serving of peril. For Birdie, she needs to choose a path and the decision will impact more than just her life.
As seen in this exclusive clip provided to Culturess, Birdie and Misty might seem to have a common interest, but there is more simmering under those necessities. When faced with a choice, what will Birdie do?
Although everyone will have to watch the episode to see which path Birdie decides, neither option is perfect. The impact of choosing her son will ripple into a multiple people’s lives. There is no way that information can be put back in the box. Choosing her husband has other consequences as well.
This “Sophie’s Choice” moment is a concept employed in many dramas. While Birdie’s decision might not have the ultimate dire consequences in the moment, it is a relatable situation that many people appreciate. Love, good intentions, and self-preservation do not always take the same path. Does a person choose what is best for her, him, or the greater good?
How will Birdie’s choice impact everyone else? Only time will tell, but this decision will have a sting just like getting hit by one of Ford’s fast balls.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society airs on NBC Friday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes can be streamed the next day on Peacock.
