Three days

Three days is the interval between Kayla Renae Morrison grounding Adi Morrison and the scene in which Kayla asks where her daughter is. The brief time marker emphasizes that the punishment has not resolved the problem: Adi has continued to find ways out of a heavily supervised home, while a later exchange exposes Kayla’s fear that anger could make her harm someone she loves.

The Grounding and Adi’s Escapes

Kayla says she grounded Adi three days earlier after the girl repeatedly found ways to sneak out. Adi’s escapes have defeated several layers of supervision: Kayla cannot understand how she gets past the butlers and the security station, and even Adi’s bodyguard cannot keep up with her. Kayla has considered firing the employees, but the detail that her daughter can evade the household’s precautions makes the punishment seem less like a solution than one part of an ongoing struggle to keep Adi at home.

The Interval’s Dramatic Context

When Kayla asks where Adi is, Jessica Cooper is present; shortly afterward, she announces that dinner is ready. The three-day reference anchors Kayla’s concern in a recent, unresolved conflict rather than a distant disciplinary history. In a later confrontation, Kayla recalls telling Adi that anger can lead people to hurt those they love unless they learn to control it. Kayla then insists that she would never hurt her daughter, but her explosive anger toward Jessica—including hurling a pillow and ordering her out—places that assurance under immediate strain. The interval thus connects Adi’s rebellion to a second tension in the household: Kayla’s conviction that love protects her daughter, set against her difficulty controlling her own anger.
