After returning from the doctors and when Violet attempted to run away, Barbara and Violet become calmer and call it a truce.
While Violet was sleeping, the three sisters were outside having a conversation about Ivy and Charles' relationship. they were discussing about if they would move out and if so, who will look after their mother. This shows their concern and worry for their mother as they do not wish to leave her on her own, especially after their father's death. However, none of them agree to stay with the mother but want to part ways and live their lives.
Violet is speaking about her childhood to her three daughters, gets emotional but is still quite "drowsy" due to the drugs. Barbara, Ivy and Karen understand why the mother is how she is due to her difficult upbringing. Violet's mother was quite mean and harsh towards her, did not allow her to do or get what she wanted, therefore she has potentially become like that. This either shows a sign of depression or just over possessiveness/care for her daughters.
