[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im interested in Commander Lawrence's wife and what role she might play in this season. Based on the interaction with June and the Marthas when the guard came in to conduct a search and psychplanting in the newly dug grave, I think she may develop in more than a minor character over the next few episodes. I also wonder whether she has mental illness because of what her husband has done or if she "acts" this way as a buffer. [/quote]

Agree—very interesting.  Here’s my imagined back story for her.  She was a professor at someplace like Tufts in something not political—maybe English lit or Greek classics with low level depression well managed with therapy and medication.  Maybe she’d had some miscarriages or a stillbirth in the fertility crisis.  With the collapse of academia and the psychiatric care industry, what is a woman like that to do?  I’d wander around in my bathrobe, plant flowers to cover up a grave, and resent my husband.  He probably makes little stands against the regime as a sop to her.  [/quote]
