What a wild ride. Watching Tori fall apart like that was shocking and something I wasn't really prepared to see in such intensity. Her relationship with Michael was tragic and also lovely, and so complicated. Overall, this story just blew my mind. It was like watching a car wreck, I couldn't look away and there was nothing anyone could do but let it happen.
