I decided to rewatch a random episode of WTNV for no particular reason (except me wanting fo watch WTNV and being caught up with the plot so I can't just go for the next episode) and ended up with episode 56 Homecoming and I have thoughts!

My major one is that the fact this episode states Cecil visits his mom during Homecoming while impliying Abby doesn't and for me this says some interesting things about them and the Palmers familial dinamics.

#wtnv #welcome to nightvale #wtnv ep 56 #cecil palmer #abby palmer #i like to think that next homecoming Cecil either went see his mom by himself or brought Carlos #but either way Carlos was out of the desert and saw how the meeting was affecting Cecil and how his childhood stories were messed up #so Carlos talked Cecil into not going meet his mothet again #instead on homecomings Cecil visits Old Woman Josie #i also like to think Cecil did mention to Abby he was going to visit their mother the first time he did as an invitation #but without truly inviting her because the palmer sibblings have a complicated relationship #and Abby laughted before stopping and looking at him sad and going you're serius #she hugged him once and they never talked about it ever again #but he understood he shouldn't try to invite her and she understood she shouldn't try to convince him not to go #i do think Steve asked as well when Steve went to see his dad #and Abby just brushed it off without much details #because by Matryoska we can see Abby didn't tell a lot to Steve about her childhood #that and Steve has the inverse Cecil situation #the whole town loved kid Cecil except his mother who was the most important one anyway and so he grew up heavilly traumatized #while the whole town hated young Steve except his dad who was the one that really mattered and Steve still got trauma but less #Steve cannot truly understand parental abusive as he had a great dad and is a great dad and he admits it #because Steve is mature and the best #so he invited Abby to go with him and they could meet each other parents #and he realized that Abby was purposifully not going to the met her mother part but accepted it #and didn't force at all #because he is a good husband #sorry I'm a Steve Carlsberg fan #episode 56 is also the episode where earl segments started so get ready for a lot of coments on it #also this is Cecil's depression arc and it shows #abby is right you cut toxic relatives
