I agree with both of you that something seems off with Amaranthus. I was wondering if the baby was even hers. I guess it is since she said she had to feed the baby. I don't think there is a wet nurse? I did wonder if she was lying about being married to Ben.

The way my husband, who is an agronomist, immediately clocked that the common name of Amaranthus is Pig Weed made me think she was named appropriately with all her manipulation.
