Phoebe in Wonderland

It stars Felicity Huffman, Patricia Clarkson, Elle Fanning (in her first leading role), Campbell Scott, and Bill Pullman.

Convinced that she will be "fired" if she does not get her patterns and lines exactly right, Phoebe spends hours at home jumping off the stairs until she bruises her ankles while using her afternoons to step on every cobblestone in her household garden in the right order.

When the principal questions if Phoebe behaves oddly outside of the classroom, Hillary denies it even though she has witnessed her daughter's self-destructive rituals at home several times.

Hillary, desperate to help her daughter feel normal, works with Miss Dodger to bring Phoebe back on stage.

Meanwhile, Jamie, who won the female part of the Red Queen, has his costume vandalized with a homophobic slur spray-painted on it ("fagot [ sic ]"), and Phoebe holds his hand in a supportive gesture.

Hillary meets Miss Dodger for the first time and is stunned when the teacher claims that Phoebe exhibits no inappropriate behaviors or patterns during the play rehearsals.

Seeming to reconcile with Olivia at home, both daughters cheerfully run around the house and play together, failing to notice how stressed Peter is by Phoebe's latent mental problems.

"[3] Nathan Lee of NPR criticized the character of Phoebe, calling her, "the kind of 9-year-old who scrawls "I've got angst" on a paper airplane and tosses it into her parents' dinner party.
