Why water?

1. Why is the title called just add water?
Actually im going to attempt to semi-answer my own question. Maybe it has something to do with the town of Trona itself. Everything is so dry and barren and lifeless, adding water at least to the natural surroundings of the town would defiitely perk things up, make them greener and more lively.

2. Why does Nora smile to herself after Troy tells her about his problems with Charlene? The camera does a close up of her walking away and sort of creepishly smiling.

3. What is the signifgance of the can Ray pulls out when he drops his son off, and what is inside the can?

4. How did Dirk end up becoming the "boss" of the neighborhood, especially since he is so young? (yes i know that he is a drug dealer but im guessing that that community wasnt always full of drug using people so how did that happen?)

5. What else is Nora hiding?

6. When Ray asks Charlene if their son knows about her affair she yes. How come he didnt say anythign to his dad if he knew?

  1. 2 - I think that Nora has a really big crush on Ray. I don't think shes smiling because she takes pleasure in Ray's pain. But, I think it gives her hope that maybe her and Ray can be together and it makes her smile.

    4 - I think that the town is so obsessed with drugs now because the only people who were left behind were those with problems in the first place. Obviously no one would stay there if they didn't have to for some reason, so maybe they never left because of their drug dependency? Dirk might be the boss of the neighborhood because it seems as though now the drug business is the only business in Trona so he probably makes a good living and we all know that money = power
