Max gives Joyce a piece of her mind

“Who is it that you got engaged to, Chloe?” Joyce only now noticed a new addition to Chloe’s usual hodgepodge of jewellery – a silver ring with many colourful stones on Chloe’s left ring finger. “I see he couldn’t even be bothered to buy you a proper ring. It should be gold, with a diamond. Like the one your father gave me”.

Chloe thought to herself: “Yes, that ring was beautiful. Too bad you sold it”. Chloe closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself. “This is the best day of your life, Price. You’re not going to cry today”, she thought.

“It’s Max, mom”.

Joyce only now noticed Max standing behind Chloe in the doorway.

“Oh hi, Max! I’m so sorry you had to listen to our little quarrel. But you’ve been hanging around with Chloe almost every day since we moved to Seattle, so you’re used to that”.

“Mom, you’re not listening to me. It’s Max who …”

“Max is such a nice young woman. Why can’t you be more like her? She would never do something so reckless. You should …”

“Enough!” – said Max loudly, almost shouting, surprising everyone present, including herself. Max stepped in front of Chloe and continued, not as loud, but still way above her usual gentle tone of voice: “Enough. Joyce, there’s something I’ve wanted to tell you ever since I met you again at the Two Whales. You can’t talk about your daughter that way!”

Joyce seemed shocked by Max’s words. David and Chloe less so.

“We meet for the first time after five years and you spend the majority of our conversation going on and on about how big of a burden your own child is? ‘Chloe chose to remain angry’. That’s what you said. Maybe you don’t even remember saying it, but I will never forget you saying that. She chose to be angry? Chloe chose none of the things that happened to her. She didn’t choose for William to be killed by a reckless trucker who fell asleep behind the wheel. She didn’t choose for me, her supposed best friend, to stop answering her calls and texts. She didn’t choose for Rachel to promise her a life together and then break up with her using a letter”.

“Max, what are you saying? Chloe and Rachel were just friends. They had sleepovers all the time!”

David furrowed his brow, surprised with his wife’s obliviousness. “Joyce, that’s exactly why they had so many sleepovers. I thought that was obvious. It’s why I always woke them up so early and tried to get them out of Chloe’s room. I didn’t want them fooling around under our roof. Just like I would if Chloe tried doing that with a boy”.

Max continued telling all the things she’d been wanting to tell Joyce for the past year: “Chloe didn’t choose for her stepfather to slap and demean her!”

David’s face turned red. Not out of anger, though. Out of shame.

“Chloe didn’t choose for Nathan Prescott to roofie and attempt to assault her and then threaten to shoot her! She didn’t choose for Frank Bowers to threaten to kill her with a knife! By the way, David. That’s why she took your revolver. For self-defence”.

David was distraught that his daughter had been in danger and he didn’t even know about it. “What? Chloe, why didn’t you tell me about it? I would’ve done something!”

Chloe responded, quoting David’s own words: “’For your own good, stay away from Chloe. She’s a loser and she’ll only drag you down’. I didn’t want to drag you down, David”.

David hung his head low, confronted with his own venomous words, having finally realized how crushing it must’ve been for Chloe to hear something like that from her own parent.

Max kept pouring her heart out: “What did you even argue with her about when I picked up that phone call? I tell you David hit her and your reaction is to yell at her? Not to hug her, to console her, to tell her everything is going to be alright? To yell at her. Then again, she pushed him. That was the problem. Chloe pushing. Not her stepfather reacting with violence to being ‘pushed’, whatever that even means, by a teenage girl. Chloe being a bad daughter, a disappointment. That was the problem. Well, I know for a fact Chloe would give her life to save yours and David’s. Without hesitation. I know that for a fact! How’s that for a bad daughter? And why do you always seem to be annoyed when you see Chloe? When she went into the diner that day, before she even said anything, you were already angry with her. Why? What was even that stupid speech about Chloe blowing her college fund on bacon? Did you really charge your own child for a few scraps of bacon? When we were kids, we would visit you at work. You always gave us pie. Are you telling me you charged us back then too? Should I be worried about my own college fund? Did you really keep a tab for your daughter and you paid it off using money William had set aside for Chloe’s education?”

“Max, that was a joke. Of course I didn’t actually charge Chloe”.

“Well if that was a joke, I didn’t feel amused to hear it. More like embarrassed. Why even joke that way? What you were trying to get at? Did you want to remind her she had got expelled from Blackwell, as if she didn’t remember that? Were you complaining that she visited you at work too often? Or did you think she ate too much? She’s rail-thin, for God’s sake. I can feel all her bones when I touch her. If anything, she should be eating more”.

Chloe blushed, as Max’s remark clearly indicated she had seen her, and touched her, while she was in a state of undress. But it seemed neither Joyce nor David picked up on it.

“When I finish my classes at U-Dub in the afternoon and Chloe is there to pick me up, that’s the best part of my day. I always smile when I see her. I cannot fathom how could anyone react to my Chloe with annoyance. And yet, you do. Almost every time I see you interact. Could you stop doing that? Pretty please, now that we’re going to become a family? Because it’s me who proposed to Chloe. And by the way, that ring was the best thing I could afford using the money I made in my summer job. I admit, it’s not gold and diamonds. It’s silvered steel and agates. But I think it suits my fiancée. It’s bold and colourful, just like her”.

Joyce was floored with the revelation. David not so much.

Joyce needed a moment to process the news: “What? But … I mean … That’s wonderful, Max! I’m so happy for you. I know you will be a good influence on Chloe. I know you will help her change for the better”.

Max sighed. She was no longer angry and she reverted to her normal, gentle speaking voice. But she still had a lot to say: “Joyce, Chloe is not some kind of work in progress that needs finishing. Not any more than any other human being is. I love her for who she is now, not for who she might become. My love for her is not conditioned on her changing in any way. She will, of course, just as I will change going through life at her side. This is going to be our journey. But it doesn’t have any set goal, other than being together. Our love, it’s not a one-way street. I stand to gain from it just as much as she does. Chloe saved my life. Twice. When Nathan Prescott caught me snooping in the dorms, Chloe shielded me with her own body and pushed him away. Even though he was armed and had threatened to murder Chloe just two days prior. And when Frank Bowers lunged at me with a knife, Chloe stopped him. She wrestled a taller, stronger man armed with a knife to save my life, with no weapon of her own, because in my unmatched wisdom I had told her to discard it. And she did save my life”.

David nodded in respect, impressed with his daughter’s tenacity in defending her loved ones.

Max continued: “She taught me how to overcome my fears. How to be strong. And she proved she would be willing to die just to spare me from feeling guilty. Which is something I would never accept. But it’s proof how loyal she is and how far she’s willing to go protect the people she loves. To protect me. Joyce, I’m not the child you remember me to be and I’m not the perfect young woman you imagined me to be in my absence. You don’t really know me. You don’t know what I did and what choices I made. I think I’m much farther away from your idea of a good daughter than you think I am. And Chloe is much closer to it than you think she is”.

Max paused for a while. Both Joyce and Chloe sniffed. They had tears in their eyes. David’s eyes expressed profound sadness as well.

Max decided to tell the last thing she’d been wanting to tell Joyce for a long time: “Joyce, I’m going to tell you something now. I’m not telling this to hurt you, or make you sad. On the contrary. When you hear what I have to say, even before I’m finished, I want you to interrupt me. I want you to be indignant. I want you to tell me I’m wrong. That I have no idea what I’m talking about. That I have no right to say things like that. I want you to throw me out of your home for daring to say that, do you understand? Here it goes. Based on how you always have patience, support and kind words for me and how you have very little of that for Chloe, it seems to me that you’d rather have me as a daughter than Chloe. Is that true?”

Joyce did none of the things Max wanted her to do. She rested her elbows on the table and hid her face in the palms of her hands.

It’s because of this exact moment that I can’t bring myself to like David, honestly. Like, we’ve seen him being physically abusive once in Chloe’s room if Max doesn’t step in for her, but even if she does, it’s heavily implied that he is (and has been) abusive this whole time. It’s so easy to miss, but you can see him raising his hand, and Chloe immediately taking a step back. The reason why he didn’t actually hit her was probably because he didn’t want to do it in front of Joyce, but still.

Have we gotten Rachel wrong this whole time?

There are plenty of theories about Rachel Amber in the LiS community. Some folks like to think of her as a manipulator who only was out for herself. We have others who think she was deep in love with Chloe and would never cheat on her and everything she did was to get her and Chloe out of Arcadia Bay. It seems like everyone looks at Rachel and sees something new. But… what if we were all wrong? What if Rachel was something else… someone who tried avoiding conflict by talking to people and agreeing with them… and thus everyone saw her as they wanted to see her?

There is actually some evidence toward this in the game. First, Chloe herself points this out, though in a way that is perhaps less than flattering: "She blended like a chameleon. Clearly more than I knew… or wanted to know…." People take this as to Rachel was able to see what makes a person tick and just become the person that someone else wanted… but we can see several people who had a rather negative view of Rachel. So what is it about those people that had a negative viewpoint of Rachel?

First, we have David Madsen, who detested Rachel and saw her as a bad influence and a criminal. He was investigating Rachel and had photographs he felt were of her being a drug mule. Next, we had a truck driver who talked about Rachel really wanting to get out of town. And of course there is Mark Jefferson who also had a… twisted view of Rachel, though it also seems Rachel was so enthralled by Jefferson that she may have been sleeping with him (and both Stella and Victoria seem to be interested in what's going on in Jefferson's pants as well, though I'm not sure why, he's not that charming).

The truth is that Rachel was something other than a manipulative gold-digger or the like. She were a teenage girl who disliked conflict and was adept at listening to people and when talking to them would agree with them? I mean, consider her two breakup letters, one to Frank and one to Chloe? Rachel so wanted to avoid conflict that she left a letter to Frank because he scared her. She did not want a fight. She wanted out. So she left… with a note basically giving her reasons and essentially ending things. (Frank thankfully accepted that.)

Chloe also got a letter. Honestly… given it was all crumpled up, I half-wonder if Chloe had read it while high one time and crumpled it up and forgot about it afterward. But we have a very important line here: I don't want you to hate me. I don't want you to hate me. That's a very interesting thing to say. There is no deliberate malice, this is someone who has found someone else who just rings all those bells but wants to keep the friend aspect. She still wants the laughter, the moments of sharing a glance and both having the same thought, the things she envisions friends do… but to walk away from the sensual intimacy.

Remember what Victoria Chase said to Max in the Dark Room, that she was just a teenage girl? That's Rachel. Rachel Amber was not a seductress or a narcissist or a monster. She was a teenage girl who was avoiding conflict in her life, but in doing so ended up in a shallow grave in a junkyard. Because quiet girls don't make history… they end up used, abused, and discarded. They end up on the rooftops willing to throw themselves to their deaths because no one would listen to them. They end up abandoned because they were not good enough, because they ultimately were not willing to stand up to those who would use them.

Max, before Chloe reentered her life, was one of those quiet girls who ends up used and discarded. The reason folks keep seeing Rachel in Max is because Rachel stayed quiet and let people make up their own minds about her. And they saw in her what they wanted.

Or at least, it's one way to interpret Rachel Amber.

I’ve always found Joyce’s annoyed tone and face to David coming home angry interesting.

She doesn’t have any sympathy that her husband is annoyed after a long day of work, and it seems like the most obvious reason for this is that he acts like this a lot, and his behavior automatically puts her off. She seems to know what is coming when he walks through the door.

Why is this interesting? Because Joyce tends to blame Chloe for the problems in their household, but you can see her being annoyed with David before he even interacts with Chloe. It’s almost like they have problems in their marriage outside of their daughter, including David’s easy-to-boil temper and surveillance fetish.

My point in this post is that Joyce has problems with David outside of Chloe, proven in Life Is Strange 1 and 2. If you sacrifice Chloe, you’ll learn that David and Joyce have since divorced. Their relationship wasn’t able to survive Chloe’s loss, and that precedent is set in Episode 5 of Life Is Strange, where Joyce admits to Max that David scares her sometimes.

Their relationship was always hanging out a cliffs edge, and it isn’t because of Chloe. David needed to grow more as a person before dating ANYONE, and Joyce needed to not latch on to the first man she saw because of the hole William left behind. They both were never really meant for each other, but like broken puzzle pieces they tried to make it work, and like a broken puzzle piece all they really managed to do was ruin the puzzle .

Chloe „guilt tripping” Max

Chloe is accused of “guilt tripping” Max to do her bidding. The prime example of that is supposed to be when she tells David that her joint belongs to Max, expecting Max to go along with the lie, because Max “owes her” for abandoning her for five years.

I disagree with the above interpretation of the joint incident. I think it stems from some players not listening to what Max actually says. It’s true that Max feels guilty if she has witnessed Chloe being hit and insulted by David. But why exactly does she feel guilty?

Max explicitly says, wondering if she should rewind time, “David was such a mean bastard to Chloe ... What if I had stepped up to help?”. She doesn’t say “I should’ve bitten the bullet for Chloe because I owe her”. Max doesn’t feel guilty that she has some unpaid debt towards Chloe. She feels guilty, because she’s seen someone get hurt and she could take that hurt away, by putting herself at risk.

We feel compelled to protect our friends not because we owe them. We feel compelled to protect our friends because we care about them. If you feel compelled to help someone only if you owe them, you are not their friend. Friendship isn’t transactional in nature. Max doesn’t owe Chloe to go along with her lie. The same way she doesn’t owe Kate getting into a screaming match with a campus security officer. But Max doesn’t help others because she owes them. She helps others, because she can’t stand seeing them get hurt.

I can't see Chloe blaming her weed on Max as the work of some manipulative mastermind. I see it as something that a terrified, abused girl might do to not get hurt.

Chloe lies about the weed because she’s scared of David hitting her. It’s almost certain that he hit her previously. Notice that during the arguement in Episode 3 David briefly raises his hand towards Chloe, to which she reacts with a scared face – this happens even if David didn’t hit her in Episode 1. David’s gesture would not scare her if he didn’t hit her before. And if Max stays in the closet, Chloe says to David: "Don't touch me again asshole. That's the last time", which also implies that it happened before.

I also think that it's unfair to use a single interaction between Max and Chloe which takes place early in the game to make sweeping statements about Chloe's character and her attitude towards Max. Focusing on this one incident completely ignores Chloe's character development. Just like Max, she finds her courage and is willing to risk her life to protect her friend. In Episode 4, when Nathan catches Max in the boys' dorms, Chloe shields Max with her own body and pushes Nathan away, despite knowing that Nathan is armed and almost shot her just three days prior. When Nathan shows up, Chloe's facial expression is one of fear, but the moment he starts walking towards Max, she steps in.

There are other problems with the "guilt tripping" accusation. It rests on the assumption that Chloe bringing up Max’s five year absence is somehow wrong. I think it would be incredibly weird if Chloe didn’t address that elephant in the room in some way.

When friends feel betrayed or disappointed, the most healthy course of action is to talk things through. If you never discuss difficult things with someone, they are not your friend. An acquaintance perhaps, but not a friend. If you don't talk about difficult things with other people, that means you do not trust them and don’t feel comfortable with them. Imagine that instead of telling Max that she felt abandoned (and promptly welcoming her back home), Chloe would pretend that her father’s funeral was yesterday and that she and Max were never separated. That would completely poison the atmosphere between them. Max would constantly be expecting that conversation to come, only it never would. It would hang over them like a dark cloud.

Another problem is that this accusation ignores the fact that Chloe lies about the joint’s ownership only if Max fails to hide in the closet. If she wanted to use Max as a scapegoat, why would she tell her to hide? And allow her to stay hidden after David asked her about the weed? If Max stays in the closet the entire time, she says "I'm sorry" after David walks out. To which Chloe replies: "For what? He would've been a bigger dick if he caught you in here". In the version of events in which Max gets to the closet on time, Chloe does not expect Max to leave the closet and take the blame. So she doesn't think Max "owes" her that. She's super surprised if Max does come out of the closet. Which is why this is the only version of the weed incident in which Chloe lets Max in on her revolver secret.

As an aside note, the words David says to Chloe are just as awful as the slap itself. There are several versions of his angry tirade. The worst comes if Max didn't argue with him at Blackwell. He says that Max should stay away from Chloe for her own good, because Chloe will only drag her down. Can you imagine hearing your own parent talk about you like that? Hearing things like that from your own parent is crushing. When Max says that David was “a mean bastard”, I think she meant not only the slap, but also how he made Chloe feel worthless. Which is the opposite of how parents should make their children feel.

Like Mother Like Daughter

I never noticed this before, but it's interesting how in a way, Joyce and Chloe both found different people who helped them move on from the people they loved and lost. Joyce lost William, and Chloe in turn lost both William and Max. William and Max were part of a happy life, an era where while things were not exactly perfect, they were still memorable and good. So good in fact, when William died and Max had to leave for Seattle, Joyce almost immediately began dating another man while Chloe was spiraling into self destruction. Going into dangerous places and associating herself or getting into trouble with dangerous people.

Chloe, for the life of her, could not understand how or why Joyce would practically run into the arms of another man when her own father's funeral wasn't that long ago. How she could betray William, a good man, like that over David who is a total stranger.

Which makes so much sense as to why Chloe never made that comparison with Rachel, a total stranger at the time became who Chloe fell head over heels for. To Chloe, at least she had reasons. Max abandoned her (granted Max was 13 and had no control over the situation and in theory was afraid Chloe was the one moving on without her.), and in addition was not even feeling comfortable in her own household. Rachel gave Chloe reasons to keep going forward in life, she came to her like an angel ascending in to the darkest period in her teenhood.

Chloe never once thought that was probably why Joyce did what she did. For Joyce, it felt like what Chloe felt about William all this time.

"HE CHOOSE TO LEAVE ME!"

Joyce might have been angry at William for dying, as irrational as that sounds. "Why didn't he just took the bus to pick me up? Why couldn't he leave home earlier? How could he do this to me?" This of course does not excuse Joyce for choosing a man over her own child and make excuses for his actions instead of being understanding of what her daughter was going through. But it does show that in some ways, Chloe did get her irrationality and a desperate need to move forward as a coping mechanism from her. With David, he gave Joyce a reason to be happy, and like Rachel to Chloe, he showed her that she could find love in her life again. Unlike Chloe, maybe Joyce saw that comparison too, and was at least grateful that while Chloe was still a delinquent, Rachel was there for at least a distraction.

And it couldn't be just a coincidence that after the anniversary of William's death, that's when Max popped in to Chloe's life and saved her.

I actually think David and Chloe could have bonded over cars and guns and mechanical stuff. Y'know, if David wasn't so, well... David.

For all his faults, I don't think he's a "stay-in-the-kitchen"-type misogynist. (Not that he's not necessarily a misogynist.) If he ever was, that would probably have been before he joined the army and experienced very capable women. I'd say he's got more of a chivalry-esque "I will protect the women" deal going on.

David doesn't really view Chloe as a lady, though (he definitely views Joyce as one). He calls her "soldier" and treats her very gender-neutrally. I mean, Chloe presents herself in a definitively unladylike manner, but not everybody's chill with tomboys/the like, even the chivalry guys are sometimes like "oh no, you shouldn't be learning to protect yourself, that's my job". Neither David nor Joyce try to get Chloe to be more effeminate (quick tangent: emasculate and effeminate mean essentially the same thing, which I find odd). If Chloe were to ever be like "Hey, I'm nonbinary or whatever, gender does not intersect with me", I actually think David would be more okay with that than Joyce would. David would be like "Yeah I figured, now go aerosol your room to get the pot smell out". Like, tell me something I don't know. Joyce would be like "Oh Chloe, you and your funny little ideas". Like, "accepting" but in a condescending sort of way.

Anyway where was I going with this. Right: If David and Chloe were less confrontational people, they could get along. The problem is that their being confrontational people is inherent to who they are.

according to kate, she woke up in a room and heard nathan along with another person(MJ) ofc MJ later placed all the blame on nathan bcs he didnt gave enough drugs to her, which caused her to wake up halfway through

sooo lets dig a lil deeper shall we~

(pls keep in mind that these r all just theories & havent been confirmed :D)

1. nathan’s schedule (the night kate got drugged)

my only thought was that nathan and MJ headed to the woods around 4am bcs kate was about to be buried (tbh, if i were a madman kidnapping someone, and if one of my victim woke up half way through, i know i'd be in trouble bcs they wouldve recognized my face and exposed me. would i simply release them just like that? absolutely the fk not, so i’d kill to silence them)

ofc nathan being nathan, who was still fkd up over the whole rachel's situation, flipped out, fleeing with kate then escorted her to the prescott estate; he can't bring her straight back to blackwell; it's too risky. why? bcs kate might become suspicious when she wakes up and sees her entire body covered in dirt mud. so what did nathan do? he took her to the mansion, cleaned and dressed kate in fresh clothing

2. a letter from sean prescott thanking david for ‘helping’ nathan

he then told/called sean prescott, asking for help from david so that he was able to drop kate to blackwell ASAP (before the drugs wear off) without being hassled by security guards. this might explain why theres a letter in EP3 from sean prescott thanking david for helping nathan (someone pointing this out on reddit)

what did david do; he promised sean not to tell anyone about the event and to keep quiet in the principal's office after kates tragedy

3. a letter from anonymous

“i thought about u protecting me bcs i am scared of this school etc” i can confirmed 100% that this letter is from nathan he sounds like a brat chickenshit

we all aware that david installed surveillance cameras around the campus+prescott mansion(to ensure nathan’s safety; from jefferson??) so he might have already witnessed nathan dragging kate inside IMO. this explains a lot about why david was so obssesed with kate because hes about to discover the truth about what happened between her and nathan after the party.

my whole point was that nathan tried to protect kate from mj who wanted to kill her (or……maybe nathan couldnt bear to kill/let anyone become the next rachel) he thought it was the right thing to do, but ofc things got worse due to her viral video (SIGHHH damn u icky vicky)

p.s - i suck at explaning, as always sorry for my sloppy english👩‍🦯
