Grosse Pointe Garden Society episode 6: Whose blood was it on Marilyn?
Grosse Pointe Garden Society episode 6 opens in the future timeline with the garden club's leader, Marilyn, cheerfully welcoming everyone to the gala. While hosting a bid at the gala, she receives an alert on her phone from her bedroom at home. She rushes there and reacts with shock, exclaiming how her husband, Buzz, did that to her. Then, Marilyn washes off the blood from her hands, but the source of the blood is not revealed.
In the present timeline, Marilyn is revealed to be the Mayor, Buzz's wife. Her marriage is not perfect. Her husband spends most of his time at work with his co-worker Tara, which hurts Marilyn's feelings. The two even argue over the fact that Buzz left the windows open, which put Marilyn's cat, Mr. Fingers, at risk of being attacked by coyotes.
In the future timeline, Marilyn calls Alice for help before rushing into her car. At the end of the episode, she and Alice hope that Mr. Fingers is alright. It turns out that the cat was attacked by a coyote in Marilyn's bedroom because Buzz had left the window open. So, the blood on her is from her cat and maybe even from the coyote because she had used Japanese cutlery on it to save Mr. Fingers.
While Alice and Marilyn wait for an update on Mr. Fingers' condition, the latter reveals that she had seen her quilt sticking out of the trunk of Gary's black car. This makes Alice nervous because Catherine and Birdie were in the car at the time.
Although Marilyn had failed to see who was driving the car, she was determined to get her quilt back despite Alice's dissuasion from the notion that she had seen anything like that. Therefore, Marilyn may play a significant role in the narrative as it unfolds.
