It didn't hit me fully until I read your comment but ya, she just had to watch all the other clones live "normal" lives with parents (most of them). I'm sure that was torturous for her knowing how badly she craved parents. ππ

How are genetic identicals so similar, yet so different? Each of the sestras can be rash, fierce, defiant, and many have addiction issues of some kind, but each have their own unique traits from growing up in different environments. Helena and Sarah are twins, yet Helena grew up in an abusive, manipulative environment that turned her into a killer. Rachel also grew up in a manipulative environment that controlled her in every way. They controlled her body, her mind, her sense of self--and she spent her whole childhood seeing all these other versions of herself getting to live a life of ignorance, free from the burden of knowing that they were owned property. But she knew, and she was constantly reminded. Its an amazing villain origin story and makes her a great opposition to the sestras. She's obviously horrible, theres no lying there. But she did the right thing here because she realized, yet again, she was being manipulated and that no matter what, she'll never have that autonomy or sense of family she always wanted. Because they still see her as property And ... all of the sestras are crazy, but Alison takes the cake sometimes I swear lol
