After 14 years of confinement, she had made it to the minimal security of a (unlocked?) group home, only to screw up her own freedom by removing the ankle brace and going AWOL. One step forward turned into 20 steps back.
If she still has these urges to break the law now. she may not be fixable. I’m sure that young woman who was nearly killed by this girl was scared to death until Ms Stabby was somehow rounded up again one day later.
Why was the dude helping her released? Criminal behavior demands some time in the klink.
