Maid, and by association Netflix, then has us follow Alex to see her mother, Paula (played brilliantly by Qualley’s real-life mom, Andie MacDowell), who’s a manic, artistic hippie living in a trailer with her younger boyfriend. Alex asks Paula for help watching Maddy while she works, who returns Maddy to Sean while Alex is on the job.
Alex then has to go get Maddy and flee again, only to wind up in a dramatic car crash. Alex calls her estranged father for help, who drops his daughter and granddaughter off at the ferry station, where they sleep on the floor.
And this only captures the first episode of Maid on Netflix! From here, Alex repeatedly pulls herself and her daughter out of the dirt and cleans them up, only to fall in the dirt again.
