Alice’s dad has his hands up, but it’s not out of a desire to protect himself – he’s just trying to calm her down. He doesn’t want to have this conversation with his Angel.

Alice at this point is so mad that the red isn’t even a haze – it’s consuming everything. The fight she had with Cheryl was a fairly sharp reminder of how her father has coddled her, and years of resentment are coming forth now. Charles can’t stop this conversation from happening at this point; it’s a flood.
