– Studio: PureTaboo
– Synopsis: Daughter (Karlee Grey) Convinced by Therapist (Angela White) that She Wants to Fuck Dad.
The scene opens on Bruce… A handsome blue-collar man, as he sits solemnly at the dining room table cracking his knuckles. He’s staring blankly at a photo of his wife. She died 2 months earlier after a sudden illness & his family has been devastated, especially his StepDaughter Laurie (Karlee Grey), who went from being a typical happy girl to a distant, resentful stranger. Now, he’s waiting for her to come home – & she’s late. 2 Hrs. late for their appointment, a session with a therapist that Bruce has arranged in the wake of his wife’s death. When she finally returns home, he stands up to confront her but B4 the man can say anything, Laurie lashes into him. He’s not her real Dad, he can’t tell her what to do anymore… She’s 18 Yrs. Old, an adult… She’s going to leave any day now. They quickly descend into a screaming match in the living room, where Bruce tries to talk reason with his StepDaughter, & she hurls insults & hits him. Finally, he’s obliged to grab her & pin her down, to stop her tantrum. There’s a long, intense pause as they stare, breathing hard, inches from each other. He tells her they’re going to this therapist & that’s an order. She spits in his face. The StepDad, beside himself, grabs her by the wrist & pulls her outside to the car. Scene cuts to a neatly appointed office. A therapist sits behind her desk, working on a laptop, when there is a knock on the door. She opens it to reveal Bruce, looking defeated, with his angry, tear- stricken StepDaughter beside him. He’s still grabbing her wrist. “Sorry, We’re late”, he says as she let’s them in. The father and daughter sit down as the therapist begins her session. She tells Laurie that she has been counselling Bruce since her Mom’s untimely passing & that both felt it was important to bring Laurie into the sessions. She asks Bruce to describe to his StepDaughter how he has been feeling since the funeral. Looking down at the floor, Bruce explains his sorrow, especially over the distance he has felt with the girl he raised as his own. It feels as if he lost not just his wife, but his StepDaughter as well. She’s so angry that they barely talk anymore & it’s tearing him up inside. The therapist asks Laurie to share her feelings. Laurie clams up at 1st but, after some soothing words by the kind therapist, breaks down & confesses that she secretly hates herself for her Mom’s death. Bruce is dumbstruck. He tries to comfort her, she didn’t cause her Mom’s illness. But Laurie, crying, tells him that she doesn’t hate herself for Mom dying, she hates the fact that she secretly wanted her gone. She had wanted her gone for as long as she could remember… All so she could have Bruce to herself. The therapist, who has been calmly taking notes, walks back over to her library & pulls out a book. “I understand the root of this now”, she says. “Have either of U heard of the Electra complex?” The shocked family says nothing. “It’s a Neo-Freudian psychological theory, proposed by Carl Jung, about a girl’s psychosexual competition with her mother for possession of her father”. Bruce stands up & tries to shut down the conversation, saying it’s inappropriate. The therapist advises him to sit & continues. “The term & is derived from the Greek myth of Electra. During female psychosexual development, a young girl is initially attached to her Mom. Most often, because of the powerful connection of the womb & breastfeeding. But, when she discovers her StepDad (or father figure, in this case) & the fact that his body is different from her own, she develops a sexual attachment to him leading her to sub-consciously want to remove her Mom & be with her StepDad”. Laurie starts laughing nervously. The therapist puts her book away & walks up to Laurie, placing her hand on her shoulder. “What’s making U laugh?” She asks. Laurie tells her she’s laughing because it’s uncomfortable. “& what exactly is uncomfortable?” Laurie looks at Bruce in defiance B4 turning back & telling the therapist that suggesting she fucks her StepDad makes her uncomfortable. The therapist smiles & walks over to Bruce, sitting down in his lap & starting to stroke his face affectionately. Without pause, Laurie jumps up & grabs her. The therapist smiles & steps off, noting that she had just proven her point. Look at how the StepDaughter reacted to competition! This is clearly a case of Electra. She tells Laurie to sit back down & listen: They’re going to focus this session on an exercise. To work out her resentment towards her Mom & anger at her StepDad, the therapist advises Laurie that she must role-play as the woman herself. “Put Urself in the role of Ur Mom. Bruce will be himself. & I’ll play U”…
