Am I the only person who thinks Ron might be covering for Misty? If he's not involved, that's the only thing that explains his behavior. It sounds twisted, I know, but it would explain a few things. I've toyed with this idea since the beginning, & can't shake it. Would Tommy protect her? I think not. Unless his culpability ends where he says it does, but he decided he'd rather see Jo go down than his sister. Do any of these people know the whole truth? Maybe Teresa doesn't know everything & just thinks she's protecting Ron. or maybe she & Ron were so concerned about his lifestyle of drugs, guns, & teenaged sex coming under scrutiny, they decided the added death of Haleigh by the teen lover, would cause a 'scandal', & they'd lose Jr. & their dignity. They wouldn't want people judging them, you know.
