I've always wondered why the murderer would "want" to visit the funeral home. Is it to make sure the victim is dead and to gloat at their handiwork?
If she feels so "justified" in what she did, I would think she has some fairly good motive, to her way of thinking - whatever that mindset might be. So, it would seem that she would despise the man she shot in the back and he would be the last living or dead person she would want to lay eyes on. But, that's just me.
However, she broke down crying when the jail visitor Church Lady came to call and poked a picture of Matthew up on the window glass at the little meeting cubicle where she saw her. Way to go, Church Lady. It was the memorial church bulletin they printed in his honor for last Sunday's services.
Mary covered her face, cried for a little bitty second and then said she loved him so much.
I'm just appalled at this permissiveness, allowing her to have this "visit." She's accused of 1st degree, premeditated murder, which she claimed to have planned on doing beforehand.
I know the sheriff's name is said to be Roten, but I swear, since they called their town "more Mayberry than Mayberry is," I think it must really be Andy Taylor and Mary is the new Otis. Aunt Bee will have the doilies washed overnight for the rocking chair in Mary's cell - there'll be fried chicken in the lunch basket tomorrow - and maybe the Darlin's will come around to sing and set a spell, while Deputy Barney Fife accompanies on harmonica.
If Mary needs to get her hair done or something, there are the keys right by the cell door. Be back around 4 for some of Aunt Bee's apple pie and homemade ice cream, ya hear? Opie wants ya to help him with his homework, Miz Mary! Yiiiiiikes.
