No. of Paragraph 30

Even in episode one of Baby Reindeer, it was clear something else was going on underneath Donny’s surface. In episode two, in the wake of a date fueled by self-hate and a sexual assault, what that actually is starts to become a little more clear.

Whatever Donny is, he’s clearly somewhat of an optimist. Where that optimism comes from may not be a great place, but as he says at the beginning of the episode, he can’t bring himself to unfriend Martha, even after she makes creepy comments on every single one of his Facebook photos. After all, what if she’s just misunderstood? Or ill? Shouldn’t we be kind to everyone, even if we don’t understand them? Something like that.

Martha is making it pretty damn hard, though. She’s clearly been trailing him around town, and she sticks to him like white on rice when he’s at the bar. She thinks they’re official, something made even more complicated when, given the opportunity to cut things off, he chokes and tells her that it’s not that he doesn’t like her romantically, but he’s worried about their age difference because she’s 42. He’s younger (or he was when this took place …), so he’s worried about how they’ll have kids.

She takes this message to mean that he wants to talk about her fertility, periods, and eggs. This is horrifying, especially considering that he’s also dating a new woman, Teri, whom he met on a trans dating site. It’s not really explained why he went to the trans dating site versus your traditional Match.com, but what is clear is that he’s a pretty huge dirtbag about the whole thing. He’s given Teri a fake name, Tony, as well as a whole fake backstory. He loves talking to her online, but when he takes her out, it’s only to the dimmest bars, so there’s no danger of anyone clocking that he’s on a date with a trans woman. Donny says he hates himself for everything he’s doing, but he “can’t bear the thought of anyone finding out,” which is awful, and he knows it. “I just couldn’t move past the bullshit of my shame,” he explains.
