--- Quote from: Mordhaus on 21 Nov 2017, 12:10 ---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.

Its funny, because here, a journey like that would be something you'd have to psych yourself up for. That's a two hour drive to go 100 miles and unless you had a very good radio station or playlist, you were going to be bored out of your mind.

In Massachusetts a 106-mile drive can take between two and four hours depending on traffic. Right now (4:38 PM on a Tuesday) Google Maps says it would take me 2:46 to get to Boston harbor from Northampton via I-90. And rush hour is only getting started.

I really don't see how that could possibly happen, seeing as how Taffy is the only person who has done anything wrong.
JimC:
The idea is somewhat unformed in my head, and I don't know that I want to work through it in detail, but supposing this isn't about Hannelore at all? Supposing its all about Tilly being checked out for emotional manipulation, machiavellian slyness and general corporate immorality? Someone who looks innocent like that but has already shown considerable promise in office politicing, ladder climbing, and all the rest might well be on Beatrice' list for potential business misdemeanours...

--- 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.

As I pointed out earlier, Hanners either has to kick a puppy or has to allow a manipulating, gaslighting agent into her life. Beatrice wins either way, since she's trying to harden Hannelore into a suitably ruthless businesswoman.
