vulnerable place

How’d you get to such a vulnerable place with Megan?

And here, at the tail end of that travel nightmare, was the farthest trip of all, with USC in its most vulnerable place of the season, reeling after three losses in four weeks, in desperate need of a get-right game against Maryland.

"Part of what made it interesting was going to such a raw, vulnerable place, to really kind of peel away. And it was quite liberating in many respects."

“I think Ava is in this place where she is acting impulsively, and that is such a vulnerable place, where not only does she get out of the elevator to go confront Deborah, but she ends up staying in the room to drink with her, and the two of them are laughing, and she’s giving in and betraying herself and any progress that she’s made, just to get another hit of this toxic, thrilling relationship,” Einbinder says.

“To me, that put her in such a vulnerable place, and I think that’s why that reaction came through.”
