It occurred to me later that Pan’s spell or SEP Field or whatever he did to make people just accept the sudden change in the girls might also have affected their parents, too. Dani’s mom certainly was.

Also, since Lyze said something, Only Taryn’s dad was there until Cait’s parents came back. Safety in numbers.

Largely it’s a matter that they didn’t know things were going to get this bad. If you look way back to the beginning, even Pan was fairly clueless about things and he (theoretically) has the inside track.

Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt, as the saying goes.

Go and raise adults these days. See where it gets you.

The girls are all smart enough to ask why these beans weren’t spilled from the get-go. It will be interesting to see what the answer is.
