Brayden Bowers hits Charity Lawson with baseball

In the latest episode, Charity and Brayden went on a baseball date. The duo walks through the field as Brayden said that he has been to ballgames there before and he's ecstatic. However, Charity later noted that she was trying to make him feel at ease because "he's from here." Brayden belongs to San Diego and it was his home team. He also had fond memories of seeing baseball games. Brayden admitted that he used to play catch with his dad until his dad accidentally broke his nose. His dad had thrown a ball and it had him Brayden in the face and broke his nose. Since then, his dad has refused to play catch with him. Charity offered to play with Brayden but he was constantly worried about a similar accident. Notably, Brayden's nightmare came true when he accidentally hit Charity in the face with the ball.

'Leave immediately sir'

Although Charity wasn't hurt, the viewers took to Twitter to call out Brayden. A social media user wrote, "Brayden accidentally hit charity in the face with the baseball just after telling the story of how his dad did the same to him when he was a kid." Another viewer commented, "Charity really won't see Brayden's red flags even when they hit her in the face... literally." Another follower added, "Brayden hit charity with the baseball! Leave immediately sir." Another person noted, "He hit her in the face. DISQUALIFIED." Another Twitter user suggested, "Red flags AND hitting Charity in the face with a baseball? The universe is giving you signs baby." Another critic wrote, "HE HIT HER WITH A BALL!! He gotta go." "That ball to the face, ladies and gentlemen, was foreshadowing," added another person.
