JMO but PR's speech patterns are always odd, and her remark, "What did you do?", as heard on the enhanced 911 after-play, is not a question to BR with the expectation of an answer. The timing is the issue, and JBR was long dead and the scene all staged for LE before PR picked up the phone to call 911 - so PR and JR already know whatever happened. I take PR's "What did you do?" together with "Help me, Jesus!" as rhetorical muttering and referencing PR herself - another person might say "What have I done?" but with PR it comes out with the misplaced "you" so prominent in the speech of families with boundary issues (sometimes this is referred to as "borderline speech" using "you" when it should be "I" particularly in regard to declarative statements of emotions, eg, "I feel angry when X happens" comes out as "You feel angry when X happens" creating the boundary problems).
I have been thinking about this all day. THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. Crazy good sluething, SandyQLS! In this scenario, BR and JR are having a side conversation while PR is sort of reeling from her call.​This is one of those a-ha moments that gave me chills.
