now that i have people that might actually see my posts more go check out my oomfs fic she wrote for my bday. Infanticide is Me and this is why my dn is what it is
She absolutely knew, deliberately started scrambling the eggs with the intention of him eventually taking over and demonstrating that she really doesn’t have /control/ over anything, thus communicating to the audience that she couldn’t possibly be guilty of what she is accused of because she’s really just being controlled by whatever man is in her life. She hints at this with regards to her relationship with Sunny, and by extension her culpability in Theranos. Every aspect of their involvement in the doc was intentional. She *pretends* not to understand who’s on first. She *pretends* that she really doesn’t think she’s ever told a lie, even though that itself is a terribly lie. Everything is meant to communicate that she is just a hapless autist with good intentions who stumbled into this debacle, but is ultimately undeserving of incarceration. This is all very obvious if you have ever encountered someone who you know believes they can manipulate you.
