Flora could easily find another sugar daddy, plus forcing a self absorbed shrew like her to raise a child would likely mess him up in the long term.

The reason Cora doesn't leave is because she's so use to a luxurious life style where she didn't have to do much due to having access to her husband's money and having him do everything for her. If she divorced him, she would only get a portion of the fortune (as divorces usually go) thus would be forced to go get a job in order to maintain some of that wealth, which golddigers and sugar babies never want to do. Even if she left and found herself another sugar daddy, there's no guarantee he'd be just as or more rich. Heck, there'd be no guarantee he'll be just as generous or kind, or living a luxurious life style (most rich people actually don't live in luxury). It's better to chase a good known that a better unknown; the grass isn't always greener on another side.

Despite her anger, she might not know anything more about the world, so her fear and complacency is more justified. Here, could the wife not claim her husband disappeared, eventually get him declared legally dead, and just inherit everything? If the brother tries to prove his side, he'll land himself in hot water. And who would believe that anyway without more solid proof?

Exactly! No judge in the world is going to believe that kid is her husband now de aged to the form of a child.

If anything, she could even fake ignorance about the whole situation to sway public opinion in her favor if word got out.

Or maybe tell the story in reverse with Flora raising a kid and being crap to him, the brother hounding her about raising him, and the twist being the kid is her missing elderly husband that used drugs to deage but it went to far.

6:01 That speech makes me wonder, does that mean Harmon's mind regressed into that of a toddler? Or Harmon still remembers Everything, but his physical body Would affect his mind, even if he tries to remain faithful to his wife turned mother figure Because, if the former, it would be pretty tragic that Harmon, in his attempts at becoming younger to please his ungrateful wife, basically "died", and was replaced by his younger incarnation who would barely even know the people around him (maybe at best vguely recognizce his now older younger brother) If the latter, it would still suck for Simon. As even if he remembered eveything and still loved his wife romantically, and even if she became a nicer person, it would be tragic for him that she can't love him romantically at all and now loves him but only as a son or as a Little brother figure

I think a modern lens ruins the horror. Divorce around this time was either illegal or frowned upon. Shirley Temple infamously got divorced from her abusive husband and the press blamed her and said she should've stayed with him. He took her money, beat her, drove drunk, cheated, and was a US soldier. She got put through the ringer. The wife in this episode would get heat since if word got out that her husband tried to be with her only to turn young, she would be blamed. As a wife, her duty is to stay with him no matter what. He was rich, so he must be well known. The brother has all the power in the end due to societal norms. The horror is that she can't get out. The karma is that she is now in her husband's shoes.

I don't know why Harmond fell in love with her, but at the point of the story he was simply blind to her true intentions!

She is awful, I'm sure, but that mean woman is incredibly hot and poised. Her voice is beautiful.

Having your wife turn into your mother is very disturbing… why do shows with de-aging do this?

To be fair, I've seen husbands treat their wives like their mothers! In fact, I remember an Our Gang short where Darla's father had called his wife "Mama!"

@@melissacooper8724Yeah or how wife’s call their husband daddy and flirt by talking like a baby. I seen one girl who wanted boyfriends to hold and when he didn’t she throw a tantrum like toddler. People are just weird I guess.😂

Reading only the episode's title and never having watched it I thought it was gonna be about racial issues.
