her to come outside? How do we know he wouldn't have knocked on the door and asked her to step outside--knowing he wouldn't be welcome inside the house? None of that needed to take place because she was already outside when he arrived. Molly knows her parents despise each other. Did she send him away? Nope. She was happy to see her father and I'm sure Molly didn't know her mother would come outside. How could she? Please note, that Molly also went back inside and left her parents alone. Of course, that's so that we could get the confrontation.
We could speculate on this forever, but at the end of the day--all we have is what played out in the scenes. He didn't go inside. Alexis approached him, when she didn't have to.
Ric was a jerk for the timing of his words. Alexis was foolish to go out there. It's as simple as that.
