I think it was the Avalon forum (dear God, I'm old) which had the rule of no speculating on future events because the Author would turn around and take the option no one expected.
So instead, a thought; Beatrice is manipulative and ruthless and you don't get to where she is without being either, but to manipulate someone requires knowing that person. Furthermore, Hannelore is the only person in the world Beatrice has any kind of affection for. We also know Beatrice doesn't suffer fools.
So to me, the question we should be asking isn't why isn't Tilly respecting Hannelore's wishes, but why would Beatrice, a known ruthless manipulator, send a fool to Hannelore, the only person Beatrice cares for in any way, in the first place?
Mordhaus:
The funniest thing about this is that 106 miles is basically like a short trip when you live in a larger state (Texas). For many years, I used to drive 110 miles a day just to get to work (55 each way).
When we go to the beach here, it's around 250 miles from my location. That's a day trip, 4hrs there, spend the day at the beach, 4 hrs back.
Penquin47:
106 miles is about the distance to my parents' house. I won't usually do it for a day trip, but I totally can.
Going to my grandparents' place that's a five and a half hour drive away? Yeah, we'll totally do that as a day trip.

--- Quote from: Tova on 20 Nov 2017, 18:00 ---She's shown no capacity for self awareness so far.
But we've known her for ... how long? How confident can we be in our assessment of someone when we've seen maybe five to ten minutes of their interaction with at most two people? This is what I've been trying to get at.

Stockhold syndrome might just be an explanation for Tilly.
Think about who sent her and just what Hanner's mother is like and has been shown doing.
As a side note, Tilly might also be someone who could play well off of Clinton in more of a way to try helping deprogram her...

Personally, I would not be at ALL surprised to find that, even if Tilly completely figures out what she did wrong, apologizes, and fully repents, that she was a tool in one of Beatrice's Xanatos Gambits, and that things are still going according to plan. Whatever the plan might be.

Mordhaus: Boy, I used to do that for work. God I grew to hate it. Finally falling asleep behind the wheel and wrecking didn't help.
I can only hope that this arc ends up stripping Beatrice of her power, wealth, and freedom.
