One of the reasons I hated the Spencer flashback anniversary episode, though well cast and incredibly acted, was it kind of muddied up the timeline and circumstances for me. Plus Ron of course had to pull a name out of obscurity just for a hollow twist and quick death with Pat. Some things not mentioned in decades and rarely before then should just stay that way.
Bobbie is clearly still a young child in those flashbacks, so them going on the run at that point was strange because they seemed a little closer in age before that retcon. Luke was supposed to be older but not Geary’s age. To me, the way they spoke about it for years was that they had a hard time getting to Ruby. I assumed they had already been exploited before they got there, and their rational of being safer with Ruby than on the streets was the face value of what they always said about that time. Doesn’t mean Bobbie wasn’t trafficked and that Ruby should have protected her from the life. But they never explored it that way onscreen.
Being poor and desperate always seemed to be what was traumatic and lingered for both of them. Bobbie ended up looking for establishment, and Luke for money/power and autonomy.
