Control Freak: Mrs. Phelps wants Robert to continue living in their home, and she tries to manipulate David into buying and developing a piece of land not far from their home.

Danger — Thin Ice: Unable to cope with the oppressive atmosphere, Hester runs away at night, running over the frozen lake. It’s dark, so she failed to see the fishing hole.

Chosen Conception Partner: Although half kidding and half serious, Hester says she wants lots and lots of babies and can only have some if she’s married to Robert. Mrs. Phelps doesn’t take kindly to this and soon plants the idea in Robert to break up with Hester.

Freudian Excuse: Mrs. Phelps married for money, not for love. Her husband afforded her no love, so she transferred that romantic ideal to her sons, creating, shall we say, a very unhealthy co-dependence.
