On the surface, 'The Last Thing He Told Me' is a propulsive mystery about the disappearance of Owen Michaels. But just beneath, a larger story unfurls about motherhood and the unconventional ways that family can form
is a propulsive mystery about what happened to Owen . Where did he go and why? But just beneath, a larger story unfurls about motherhood and the unconventional ways that family can form. Hannah and Bailey are familiar with loss, even before Owen’s abrupt disappearance. Bailey’s mother, Owen’s first wife, died in a hit-and-run incident when she was young. Hannah’s own parents were “largely uninterested in doing any child-rearing,” and she was raised by her grandfather.
The book and the show find Hannah and Bailey reeling and—unsure of what to do with themselves—embarking on an urgent quest to find Owen, or at the very least to find out why he fled. Bailey is pure teenager: purple-pink streaks in her hair, obsessed with musical theater, and deeply resistant toward any type of relationship with her stepmother. But as Hannah proves herself over and over to her stepdaughter—by always giving her a choice in what they do—Bailey slowly warms up to her.
In the show, Hannah’s best friend from childhood, Jules , and Jules’ partner Max are a second family for Hannah and Bailey. After Hannah and Bailey spend a long, hard day judging Owen’s actions in the town of Sausalito, Calif., Jules and Max deliver pizza and ice cream to the overwhelmed pair. “Hey, little one,” Jules tells Bailey, wrapping her in a hug. “Should we split a pizza or just get right into the coconut and salty caramel?” “I’ll get the spoons,” Bailey replies, clearly comforted.
