[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow - what an ending.  I hadn't read the book, so this was all new to me.  Let me see if I've got it all straight:

Adora killed Marion (the middle sister) through her Munchausen by proxy.  She was also slowly poisoning Amma, and was seen biting baby Amma to make her cry, thus allowing her to pretend she had "another sick baby."  (Such a shocking, sick scene.)

Adora tutored the two other girls - Ann Nash and Natalie.  She devoted a lot of time to them, and apparently Amma was insanely jealous which led her (Amma) to kill them?  What did the teeth represent?  Also, Amma's friends helped her kill them?

It's implied that Amma kills her new friend in St. Louis.  That girl's mother is looking for her daughter at the end, and Amma had been at the park with her.  We also see that girl being assaulted against a chain link fence at the end. Her nails were painted pink - apparently Ann and Natalie both had painted nails too (done after their deaths).  What's the deal with the nail polish?

Why would Amma kill her new friend - was she jealous that Camille liked the girl and thought highly of her?

Loved this show - the description said "Season 1".  Will there be more seasons?  I can't imagine how there could be.

Amma wanted (among other things) perfection. She used the teeth for the floor in Adora’s bathroom, which was made from elephant tusk. Eeeek!
The nail polish is, to me, a sign that these girls were not people to her. They were toys/dolls that she could manipulate and play with. If I remember correctly, they bound and tortured Natalie for a couple of days before killing her.
It was so satisfying to watch the way this played out. [/quote]

PP here.  I understand that she used the teeth in the floor of her dollhouse, to mimic the elephant tusk tile.  But I wonder what the actual significance of the teeth pulling was.  [/quote]
