And thanks to some non-linear storytelling, we find out what River’s damage is–and it’s awful. River has his own trauma from when he was young. River is the kind of man who isn’t really good at “friends”. But slowly but surely they become friends–sort of. River is taciturn, grumpy, and just kind of an ass. She’s pregnant, alone, and trying to make the best of it.
