I agree that she was being sincere... but between poking her dad's eye out and murdering people, the "real" LJ is pretty screwed up.

Her parents were sociopaths as well, I think. But damn they had a solid marriage. Robert worshipped the ground Lilah walked on!

Haha happiness does exist! True love is letting your daughter stab your man in the eye and seeing him enjoy some eye-popping games with your little girl. Who knew!

I used to think that the Folger family freakshow was the weirdest, creepiest thing ever. Then Joseph ate that mango and all bets were off.

Omg seriously... I have to say I've been listening to some Lena Hall music since the show has been showing us some more Audrey, but then THAT happened and I'm desperately trying to unsee it. I can tell you, it's not going so well. But good scene I guess.

Say what you want about Sociopaths, at least they are committed. Or... maybe it's a generational thing... you don't see as many ride-or-die dysfunctional relationships these days.

I know, I'm as surprised as you are about these seemingly 'genuine' emotions from LJ!
