Something Wild

Kambri and Evan arrive on the same episode from opposite ends of the spectrum, which turns out to be exactly right. Kambri Crews grew up poor in rural Texas with a deaf family, spending her adolescence riding horses to the corner store, smoking cigarettes, and managing a fireworks stand at age 13. When she finally gets her own horse, he goes mysteriously missing one afternoon, circling the property in a daze. Her brother tears off barefoot into the woods and comes back with an explanation. (Content note: domestic violence) Evan Miles drives home after a 12-hour hospital shift to find a police helicopter overhead and four cruisers closing in. Charged with attempted murder, he spends nine days in L.A.'s Twin Towers jail before learning what his partner of nine years told them.

I just come from a generation of Midwestern men who were really out of the loop for decades. So in recent years, I have experimented with a gazillion skincare products, but I found it's just so overwhelming. There's so many different things I've tried that left me saying, "Okay, is this doing anything?"
