I think Rales protests too much with all his comments about her being "normal," "coherent," etc... I'm starting to think he and HKS have been in collusion.
There's no "starting" for me, lol - they seem to have always been in collusion - and I hate that he purported himself to be Anna's atty when he was wanting paternity for Howard.
Not fair and I hope he gets called down for it, by someone.

I think so too! I've also been wondering if most of those surrounding Anna weren't originally Howard K Stern buddies/co-conspirators. We know Rales went to law school with Stern. Stern and Rales are both operating from self-interests. Who was looking out for Anna's legal interests?
There's also the former law partner with the name beginning with Kev.....,(don't have the actual name at the moment)who witnessed the 2001 will. He was another Stern buddie who got into legal trouble around the time of him witnessing the will. Not sure if Kim, the other witness was a friend of Stern's or Anna's. She was Anna's assistant at one time, but is currently supporting Stern.
Stern seems to be hooked at the hip with Dr Ershovich - medical and head doctor. She knows Anna's greatest fears and could relay them to HKS, which gives him amo to manipulate/control her further.
Then you have Dr Kapoor, also a friend of Stern and Anna's, but maybe Stern's first? There's rumors of another Doctor being involved too. Was he also a Stern friend?
These 4 are definitely Stern Friends:
Ron Rales
Kev....?? Not sure of name
Dr Ershovich
Dr Kapoor
There's way too much money involved here to discount anything being possible.
