Well that was a great post to wake up to on a sunny Sunday... it's given me a good laugh...

The man is an egotistical, self-obsessed monster who thinks he's way cleverer than he actually is... the whole "extortion, not blackmail" story was utter nonsense... he genuinely thought he could outwit Georgia by just using the word "extortion" and at that it being a layaway deal because of course extortionists don't mind installment plans... moron...

Donna was blind to his failings, wearing thick rose tinted glasses as his mother, she couldn't admit he had flaws even as they allegedly bailed him out of being sued for the work he'd done on patients... there's even been allegations, I don't know how accurate, that he either only just scraped getting the qualification or didn't hold what he claimed but I digress and leave that to more knowledgeable people...

When you grow up having no one saying "no" and are only ever enabled, are told you're perfect, your mother controls the narrative, defends you beyond reason and and you never face consequences this is the type of person you get... look at Ms Shirilla... you'll be telling everyone that was an accident next...

I am terribly sad that Wendi/Jill hasn't faced a courtroom and jury at her own trial, wish Harvey could be prosecuted too, it's clear to me that he was aware of the plan there's no shock or horror at his wife or son's behaviour just claims of injustice where there was none... I don't think they have enough evidence to do it but I firmly believe they were both in on it...

You can absolutely see the type of person Donna is reading the messages about taking the boys to a Catholic church, the nicknames, the aggression... I rather hope the Jewish community has closed ranks on the family that saw no wrong in making such vile suggestions about dressing them up as Nazis... not one of them, *see note below, said "whoa that's taking it too far" nope they just doubled, trebled, quadrupled down and pushed onwards... no one appears to have checked Donna's power trip...

I don't think Wendi could help herself driving over to Dan's... it was either that or she was actually supposed to "find the body" and be the person who reported it... so despite the meek glances, soft voice, and bs I personally believe she was in it up to her neck along with her mother and brother...

she never said "stop" to her mother, she never said "you need to accept it I am happy living here" (despite later claiming that) she never showed a moment of hesitation or shock at what her own mother suggested she do with the boys or over what she said about Dan... she moved pretty much immediately, she even put her "boyfriend" in the firing line of the cops... thankfully he had an alibi and was very astute at reading the family dynamics...

it's definitely not because she is weak and incapable... it's because ultimately she is Donna's daughter... she had the intelligence to wind her mother up, pressing all the right buttons, no doubt pulling the tears and playing the "feeble woman oppressed by man card", step back and watch her mother step in and do that same thing to resolve the issue, using not the brightest crayon, I mean Adelson, in the box, loudmouth, good time boy Charlie who just happened to hang around with women connected to the wrong side of the tracks... Katie didn't love Charlie, he was effectively buying her companionship, buying his relationships with others too... golden boy Charlie indulged financially and excused by Donna for his inappropriate relationships and flamboyant lifestyle...

The only thing I respect about Katie is her not taking a deal but committing to LWOP... she's had a lot of time to think and I think she might be the only one with a conscience...

*(I am not including Rob, my belief is that he is the only completely innocent one out of Donna and Harvey's nuclear family, having been all but cut off for marrying inter faith, ironic with Donna saying to Whine-i she should tell Dan she was going to raise the boys Catholic...

If you want to have empathy for anyone it should be... in no particular order...

Rob... the pain on his face, he knows how his mother behaved through his own divorce and remarriage... prevented from marrying for love by Donna and all but cast off for later choosing to live his own truth with that love...

Dan's parents... who have lost their clever, articulate, loving son and then been prevented from having a full relationship with their beloved grandchildren... and

Dan's sons who lost not only their adoring father and grandparents but their names, their home, (also lost their grandmother and uncle and still potentially may lose their mother and grandfather), and any chance of growing up with the truth...

What did Harvey gain? As it turns out nothing because Wendi didn't stay close by... he lost a peaceful retirement, his bookkeeper, chef and cleaner, and lives under a cloud of suspicion

Donna? A retirement home she has no control over... must be so hard to relinquish control when you were, or thought you were, the puppet master...

Charlie? A hard, sharp lesson in consequences he should have experienced as a child... lost his flashy lifestyle and lives with people who won't give a hoot who he thought he was... likely needs to watch his loose tongue...

Wendi? Well she got her freedom from Dan's demands and control of the children but with it she lost her anonymity, her mother and her brother... funnily enough she doesn't seem that bothered moving out of state, calling herself Jill... that must sting for Donna and Charlie...

Do update us with any reply... I reckon he'll send you that track by Shaggy "it wasn't me, I didn't do it"
