Women on this show cant seem to stop screaming, and I get it, I get it.

Madeline and Celeste catch her on a very early-morning hike on the side of a highway.
She murdered a man, people, and nobody is willing to just give her a little space!

Laura Derns portrayal of rabid mania is perfection.
But its all a front.
Money and success have now become Renatas raison detre.
All for a Gulfstream.
Will you give a woman a minute, indeed!
Even more startling, the FBI has seized her computer and her iPad.
