Oh come off it, Marcus never BULLIED Bea that night, he was just trying to tell her how her actions will have been perceived in the outside world, PLUS she started the whole thing and said some pretty vile things about his friend Freddie and about Marcus himself. No way was that bullying and she just broke down because he wasn't buying into her bullshit, that's all.

It really riles me when people play the bullying card when it's totally inappropriate.

No such thing as facts, only perspectives. Marcus set up the breakdown in Bea and Freddie's friendship by playing on Freddie's maleable suggestability. He insidiously dripped poison into Freddie's mind after Bea 'punked Marcus out' over the cigarettes that he purloined to employ as a manipulation tool. Bea demonstrated an insight into Marcus' character that frightened him, so he had to destroy her. He has done that. He cared not one ounce what harm he did to his supposed friend Freddie when he chose to use him as a weapon against Bea.

Marcus is bright, but it is a pity his emotional development didn't keep pace with his intellect.

Like his Mum said " he was a naughty baby, a naughty toddler, a naughty boy and now he's a naughty man" Never argue with a Mum's analysis of her son, she knows him best of all.
