@thoughts-of-a-bibleophile honestly I would have been perfectly happy to watch her take him down in a fight, but having been in a similar situation (minus a few murders and dismemberments) this was so much more powerful to me?  Like, getting to the point you can stand up to an abusive ex is hard, but finding the strength to tell them “you’re not worth the energy it would take to destroy you” and walking away is so much harder.  Aside from anything else in this episode or volume I’d like to hug the writers for this scene alone, I loved it!
