Carla in BWN - Episode 9.5

Furious, Barbara goes backstage to get Rita when the band takes a break after their first set. She drags Rita home.

The rest of the band is worried. Gary advises Jack to stay away for a while because Barbara will only become more angry if he goes to check on Rita. Jack feels guilty because he's the one who invited Rita to join even though he knew Barbara would be angry. Dorina says it's her fault -- Barbara is only upset with Rita because they think of Dorina as the enemy.

At home, Barbara hits Rita, destroys her guitar, then brutually crushes Rita's left hand with the lid of the piano.

Later, Barbara enters Rita's room. Visibly frightened, Rita scrambles to the far side of the bed to get away from Barbara. Barbara orders Rita to stay in her bedroom until Barbara tells her otherwise. She's not even allowed to go to school. Barbara also warns her not to disobey, otherwise she will chain Rita up to keep her in the room.

Lavinia enters as Barbara leaves. Rita tries to explain that she meant no harm or insult to her sister -- that she just wants to play the guitar, but Lavinia is not interested in listening. She tells Rita she's a traitor and worthless as a sister, then leaves Rita crying alone in the room.
