When you showed me a draft of this all those months ago, I cried then ( ... )

I totally forgot you cried! I'm sorry. :(

I think the difference between Molly and Lana's reactions comes down to Molly only seeing the black and whites whereas Lana can see the grey's. That's a product of their lives, and really considering Molly's life she should be able to see them, but she's been very sheltered from the worst parts of reality her whole life. And Lana hasn't.

I am sorry I made you cry. :(

The thing that I think I like best about this is the utter greyness of the whole situation. And Molly really only sees things in black and white. It's both a really mature and childish attitude. Molly, for all of being a wife and a mother and very intelligent, is still so innocent in so many ways, because she *has* been so protected and loved her whole life, first by her family and then by Cameron, and in many ways, Lana. She's never experienced heartache and she's never hurt anyone, and she just can't understand it.

And I really like the subtle way she wanted Lana to be the one to put Lila out of the wedding because a) conflict is something she's just not comfortable with and b) Lila used to be her friend and she doesn't like the new light of her.

It's amazing how someone with Molly's life could be sheltered, but you're right she has been her whole life. Everyone that loved her has always tried to shield her from the worst parts of themselves, and the world and it definitely shows in how she reacts to this situation.

Thanks chica!
