Elizabeth has held back alot in terms of her feelings about what Paige did, and while I felt sympathy for Paige in that moment, the great thing about this show is that it has me rooting for characters whose actions normally I wouldn't agree with...Elizabeth's right that Paige's "operation" (although she isn't quite using that word with Paige) can't be at the whim of Paige's moods.
Yeah, I had no trouble seeing this one from both sides, but my heart was really very much with Elizabeth on this one. Of course Paige is in a shitty situation, and maybe she deserves sympathy for that, but she can't be just shirking her family responsibilities.
The time I actually felt sad for Paige was at the end, the way she looked so defeated after what would have been seven months of having recommitted to the "Pastor Tim and Alice operation" and clearly having felt terrible about every minute of it.
