I think it's fairly clear that Bev Harris is a John Wayne type, so obsessed with her own cause (which in her mind is conflated with herself) that she is willing to abuse anyone she sees as standing in the way..that includes anyone who exists around her in times of stress because they threaten her individuality, and even if they don't, abuse can sharpen one's disconnection from other people, and thus their identity. I know this is all pretty obvious...

That's some good psycho-babble. My diagnosis is a little more succinct (and obvious): Bev's a con artist.

Just to throw my own two cents in, I think it's fairly clear that Bev Harris is a John Wayne type,

How dare this person denigrate the great John Wayne in this manner?!
