I just rewatched the series and Susan is the villain lol.

She believes that she is a great person that is above others but she isnt that much better.

Edie clocked exactly who she was and the Core 4 treated Edie as if she was the worst of them all. (oblig: justice for Edie and justice for Nicollette)

Tbf, Edie was worse than Susan. Look at what she did to Mike when he had amnesia. She even tried faking a suicide attempt to get Carlos to stay with her. Susan was accidentally terrible, but Edie was just terrible.

People forget about all the horrible things that Edie did because she’s such a queen! Personality will get you far, sis!

Must be why I’m so behind.
