Fuzzy lines between truth and fiction make for an uncomfortable ending to TheRehearsal
, it seems impossible to tell where fact ends and fiction begins. Fielder and the rest of the creative team appeared to be pulling back the curtain at every turn, but were they? We saw the method used to constantly swap out all the actors playing Angela’s would-be son Adam, as a way to comply with child labor laws.
Again, there are things we know and things we do not know about any of how this show is made. It is possible that every single thing we see is exactly how events unfolded, and that everyone other than the people explicitly labeled as actors are being their genuine selves. It is possible that every last bit of it is scripted, and that anyone buying into any of it is probably also a pro wrestling mark. More likely, the truth lies somewhere in the vast middle.
In a later scene, Nathan visits Remy and Amber’s house to play with him and continue the work of transitioning from father figure to friend. What we see of their interaction is a bit of a roller coaster. Remy at times calls Nathan “daddy” and cries again at the thought of him leaving.
After visiting Remy, Nathan begins to question himself. “What on earth was I doing?” he asks, adding, “Everything about this rehearsal seemed so trivial.” He begins exploring ways he could have prevented himself from hurting Remy, though it soon begins to feel like his concern is less about the kid than about Nathan’s own suitability to be a parent — an extension of TV Nathan’s ongoing struggle to relate to other human beings. He tries silly things like having teenage actors cosplay as Remy.
