Unidentified Landlord (Mandy Hampton)

The Unidentified Landlord functions as an offstage, uncompromising creditor who converts household precarity into immediate narrative pressure. Operating entirely off-camera, the landlord's expected rent demands puncture Daisy and Mandy’s fragile stability and force pragmatic, survival-driven choices. References to the landlord recur as a material threat—an emotional and fiscal accelerant that sharpens Daisy’s panic and undermines Mandy’s professional composure—making domestic insecurity a catalyst for interpersonal conflict and urgent damage control across the episode.
