Lilly's Breakdown?

We all know Lily has a really rough time after Kenny kills her dad. She and Kenny continuously argue over everything. We see her really breaking down in episode 3, causing the death of Carley/Doug. Is it reasonable for her to break down like she did and not attack Kenny? Since he is the catalyst to her pain, it makes no sense to me for her to not attack Kenny if she truly has a breakdown. My theory is she tolerates Kenny because he is a big asset to the group whereas she easily bullies Carley or Ben verbally for destroying their "stronghold" and their perceived weakness.

  • Well, maybe one of the reasons she din't shoot Kenny is because he had Katjaa and Duck and she din't suspect of him of being a traitor like she did with Carley and Ben.

  • I think she would have shot Kenny if he'd said something like what carley did (I never saved Doug). That just sparked her, Kenny was just in the right place at the right time or carley/Doug was in the wrong place.

  • She grew antsy when the group stayed at the Motel whilst she wanted to leave; she thought someone was betraying the group; and Kenny killed her dad. I think these things caused her to feel scared and isolated and made her lose trust in the group, and she just ended up losing her cool. The entire situation Lily found herself was the causing her problems, not just specifically Kenny.

    It's also possible Lily could at least understand Kenny's decision even if it made her mad, whilst someone betraying the group had no excuse.

  • A broken mind doesn't always follow Logic. After her fathers death, a few days later after the bandit attack something inside her quietly snapped and she truly honestly thought Carley/Ben was a dangerous enemy and shot her/tried to shoot him. The kill was less deliberate/evil and more the result of paranoia/insanity. It wasn't a revenge kill.

  • Carley/Ben were the object of her rage b/c she thinks they're responsible for the attack on the bandits. Lilly confesses that in time she'd learn to forgive Kenny

  • I don't get how Carley is suspicious in her eyes. Carley shot those fuckers down and she gave batteries to Clem! Giving things to kids would make you less suspicious!! It's reasonable since Kenny did what eventually had happened to Sarita in Season 2.

  • I find this reason: logical.

    Yes, I just realized, but seriously, I find HERO 1000's reason to have plausibility.
