So, I did feel bad for Eckles in this moment. Because those words were definitely harsh. But, I don't blame Penelope, I understand he was brainwashed but his "love" has turned into something far more dangerous. He is willing to go on a killing spree, one she has not asked for even once. And all this grooming talk? Y'all really think Eckles is stupid? Eckles chose to be loyal, she did give him gifts and attention because SHE WANTED TO SURVIVE. God forbid someone wants to survive. She could have handled ANYONE else bringing Yvvone back. ANYONE. But not Eckles. Y'all don't realise how deep his betrayal has cut through her. She asked for one thing and one thing only, to NOT betray her. Even if he was brainwashed, instead of telling her the truth, he told her how he wanted to drag her down. Telling a woman who is licking boots, trying and begging to be heard (damn you Derrick) and being framed again and again for something she didn't even do, telling a woman is constantly in survival mode that someone intends to drag her down just so he could have her, if you were on the receiving end of that, you would have reacted quite similarly. It's easy to say that Penelope is overreacting when all she is doing is, reacting to the shitty situation that she has been stuck in. She cannot trust anyone. Not as long as Yvvone is in the mansion. So yes, while her words were harsh, he had it coming. She tried to end it by letting him go, she tried to cut the ties by saying lesser harsher words, but his intentions still remain the same. He doesn't love her. He is obsessed with her to the point that he is willing to see her fall from grace if it means having her.
