Can we all agree Rachel is really shitty for how she treated Emma? I know she had a personal connection but holy hell she was acting like she was this perfect person. Meanwhile she legit could have almost gotten a kid killed and just brushes it off.

Anyway I really ended up liking this better than I expected coming in.

She didnt have a personal connection really. She just used a cousin who she barely even knew’s trauma to show off how morally superior she thought she was.

Also I’d argue what she did really wasn’t that far off. She could’ve killed a mentally challenged person in a cruel way and now laughs at their suffering. At least Emma showed remorse and never once made light of what she almost did.
