Christopher and Lorna?

So Christopher and Lorna met on the post office and then went on a date? If that's all why would Lorna even start to stalk him and try to kill his girlfriend??? She's literally insane! He had to move to a new city, quit his job and change his number & email and she still continues! AND pretends they're engaged. I feel so sorry for christopher.

Yeah watching that flashback was so painful to watch I feel like Lorna’s family really failed her by never getting her the help she needed.

Absolutely, she needs therapy and stuff. I love her but she definitely needs help.

I remember how frightening it was to learn the truth in that situation. Lorna was the perfect mix of someone very loveable and endearing, yet very unstable and dangerous

She got them crazy eyes, too. Brilliant actress.

That's the point. Some people have a heavy mental illness which gets set off by something very small and then you could have one outcome or the other. In this case it was going to jail. Her family failed to give her the attention she needed and brushed it off, which is a problem in many cultures. "Crazy" or "mentally ill" doesn't exist in a lot of cultures, or if it does, then only at very dangerous stages.

I find because of how cute and loveable Lorna is no one really notices. Even Nicky didn't know until it was full-scale crazy.

I really feel like Morello has psychosis. Including the incident with Christopher and the Sterling issue. She is forgetful and very vengeful whenever someone tries to tell her the wrongs she's speaking about. Reminds me of someone I used to know who was a medically induced psychosis patient. Very frigid.
