Is Maria and Rhett’s sudden hunger for money part of their plan to flee Wabang?
Rhett (Lewis Pullman) and Maria (Isabel Arraiza) have a plan to flee Wabang and start a new life together, but it keeps getting sidelined by Abbott family drama. We never see them have a conversation about needing money, but we do see Maria steal money from the bank where she works—and we also see Rhett tell geologist Dr. Nia Bintu (Yrsa Dailey-Ward) she’ll need to fork over at least $30,000 if she wants his help convincing Royal that the hole needs to be scientifically studied.
It seems entirely possible that the lovebirds are building up a stash of cash to finance their longed-for move to Montana. A couple problems, though: Maria becoming a thief suggests her moral compass is wavering—and won’t Rhett need to stay in Wabang if he wants to keep raking in cash as Dr. Bintu’s inside man?
