Little Fires Everywhere recap: Origin stories
; the secrets we keep from others and the lies we tell to shield ourselves and our loved ones from the truth. Right off the bat, there was a lot to say about Elena Richardson, one of the loudest characters currently on television. But the opposite is true for her counterpart. The series has been slow, often frustratingly so, to delve into Mia Warren’s backstory and present motivations, keeping her shrouded in secrecy while revealing tiny clues about her many secrets.
We’ve seen him appear in Mia’s dreams throughout the series and now we formally meet Pearl’s father, Joe Ryan, once again eerily watching Mia on the subway. She confronts him one night while he follows her home and he finally reveals why he's been stalking her: he and his wife Madeleine can’t have kids and they're looking for a surrogate who resembles her ... and Mia’s a dead ringer. Naturally, Mia’s shocked but Joe gives her his card anyway.
His visit to New York is the catalyst for many of the decisions Mia subsequently makes. She starts to second guess following through with the surrogacy after casually suggesting that the baby could be the thing she creates that changes the world. Until then, the baby she’s carrying was strictly business, a financial resource needed to complete art school.
She tells Pauline she’s staying to help her parents a bit longer and writes a letter to Joe and Madeleine telling them she had a miscarriage. With her parents still at the funeral, Mia departs in Warren’s car, which she continues to drive in the '90s. She drives across the country to Los Angeles where she has Pearl, taking Warren’s name for her new last name. But Mia is soon dealt a final heartbreak.
So Bill takes a job at a high-paying firm, Elena has Izzy, and they move into the house her parents picked out — and helped pay — for them. In the novel, Izzy's born prematurely, which traumatizes Elena and leads to her overbearingness towards her youngest. But that appears to be a major change to the series, which doesn’t indicate any complications surrounding Izzy’s birth.
