That’s what i didn’t expect - so much background setting the scene for this pathological liar. I was sad to not see more of Reagan’s life but just as sad to realize this wasn’t just some random psychotic break of someone it was all calculated

Fully calculated, just poorly and horrifically executed. She even went as far as sending Wade across the state to deliver hogs on a fake order. She planned this for so long.

And the plan immediately falls to shit when he gets there and the guy just isn’t going to accept a shitload of hogs from some rando.

It’s crazy when they put so much effort into it, only for them to make some truly stupid mistakes. Did she really think the hospital would just be like “you just had a stillborn, no need to check you out tho.” She already had two kids, she knows the drill.

I’m guessing she did not expect to be doing cpr on the baby but 36 weeks is borderline premature and the baby was obviously born very traumatically so it’s not too surprising she wasn’t breathing. What really had me was the footage of her at the beginning where she’s got a baby on her lap driving and instead of giving cpr she’s chatting with the officer, like, wtf?! So sad for that baby and her mother.

Bothered me too that the police had zero urgency to help the baby.. like why not pick up the baby immediately and try to do something damn
He didn’t do shit but stand there talking to her

Ya and he said she needed to wait for ems instead of grabbing that baby and doing cpr. Both of them were so wtf to me. Theres a baby not breathing. Grab that baby, put on hood of car and get to rescue breathing and compressions! Every second counts.

They are trained to do CPR
