Now that path of the fireflies season 2 part 1 is streaming on Netflix, people can’t stop talking about everything that happens in the first part of the final season. Specifically, we hear a lot of talk about Marah (Yael Yurman) and her sexuality.
Marah is the rebellious teenage daughter of Kate and Johnny. As she grows up, Marah becomes estranged from her mother. She really has nothing in common with Kate and often disagrees with her decisions.
Of course, it doesn’t help that she’s caught in the middle of her parents’ divorce. She even blames Kate for the divorce. However, while her relationship with Kate can be rocky, she absolutely loves Tully. It even seems that she would sometimes rather have Tully as a mother than Kate. But, there are times when Marah and Kate are on good terms. We see more of these moments in path of the fireflies season 2 part 1.
Spoilers from path of the fireflies season 2 part 1 ahead!
In the third episode of season 2, there is a scene in the 2003 timeline where Kate and Johnny are secretly reading Marah’s emails. While reading the emails, they discover that Marah may be gay or bisexual because she is messaging someone that she is in love with her friend, Ashley. Kate and Johnny decide to ask her brother for advice on how to approach Marah. Sean advises them to let Marah know she has a safe space and let her come to them when she’s ready. Even though Kate and Johnny agree with Sean’s advice, viewers can already tell that one of them is going to ruin everything. So, is Marah coming out to her parents? Find out below.
Does Marah come out in Firefly Lane season 2 part 1?
Yes, but not by choice. Marah is forced out because of Kate. After Kate gets some advice from Sean, she picks up Marah from school/field hockey practice. As they drive home, Kate sings a song on the radio. The song is “Closer to Fine” by the Indigo Girls. She is literally doing the opposite of what Sean told her to do by not being subtle at all.
She explains to Marah who the Indigo Girls are by saying that one of them is gay and the other is straight. Marah corrects her by saying that neither of them are straight. Kate agrees with Marah and then goes on to say how beautiful it is to see two lesbians living their lives and making music together. At that moment, Marah knows something is wrong with her mother. She asks Kate why she’s weird, but Kate tries to act like it’s nothing. Marah then realizes that Kate knows she is questioning her sexuality.
She asks Kate if Tully told her she was gay, and Kate is shocked that Marah told Tully before her. Kate even tries to connect with Marah by sharing her slight crush on Angelina Jolie’s character in the film gia, but Marah is just freaked out. While the conversation doesn’t necessarily end on a light note, what’s important is that Kate is able to let Marah know she’s there for her if she needs to talk about anything.
I honestly didn’t expect a sweet moment between Marah and Kate regarding Marah’s coming out. That’s just not how their dynamic goes. Although we never see Marah discussing her sexuality with her father, it is understood that she does eventually tell him.
