This is so creepy! I think it's probably because it is, at the start, such a small departure from canon, and it just snowballs from there. Quinn's been totally shafted this season in terms of plot lines, and this psycho version of her scares me, I confess, because I could've seen it unfold... if Glee were an HBO show, and if Puck and Sam hadn't "reached out" and, you know, magically "solved her problems." It's so sad to see how consumed and washed up she's become with her baby and with her past glory, and yeah, I confess this was not what I was expecting, but it was a rather thrilling read all the same. Thanks very much for it!

arhgdsfhjsdf.

that was heartbreaking

):

Quinn for me is like, the most likely person to do things with catastrophic results out of all the glee kids. (I can't help but think her staying with Finn in S02 would've ended up in some double suicide or something equally terrible, OTL)
Her desperately clinging to the time where she was perfect, just, spot on.

Oh, poor Quinn! I should probably say poor Shelby and Beth, but . . . yeah, mostly, you made me feel for Quinn. I can definitely see this happen with a young mother like her who "can't" keep the baby, and the execution of her plan was creepy and perfect up to a point.
