That's not a kitchen, that's a medical office of some kind. Note the magazines and magazine holder to Heather's right and the paper towel dispenser and trash container in the wall next to the sink. That's also why Heather is wearing a mask. Being out in public carries considerable risks for Heather, I think Zack's going to wait another couple of weeks before he starts trying to force her to do the public shopping. I imagine Heather's mom is doing the shopping, maybe paying for Walmart grocery delivery.
prediction:
a- heather's mom will end up taking her daughter back in , to make sure she doesn't rot, as its rapidly apparent zach would allow her to
totally decay if it was left up to him.
she's prob getting freaked at zach's complete inability to adult or step up in any meaningful way.
bonuses for heather
b-mom can make sure zach doesn't spend the disability checks.
c-kids can go to dad where they'll be far better off.
bonuses for zach
d-zach will make himself out to be the victim.
evil heather's mom hijacked his wife, moved her out, wouldn't let zach move in too & he is utterly helpless to change anything about that.
i count on something like that being the fantasy-story he tells the twitter followers.
altho now he's memorialized his dying wife in the anti-Rowling essay. it sure will look shitty if he's asked about her later (he will be, if anybody ever reads the damn thing ) & he replies:
"oh her? her mom helpfully kidnapped her for me. now i have no choice but to never see her again. boo hoo."
will they believe him? can he find another meal ticket?
