Very strange. HM has a cross and a home-made wedding ring. TS has all his worldly belongings in a plastic bag - except for his prominently displayed Bible (Book of Mormon?).
It's all about them - their 'love' and their 'baby' and their lives together. It's as though Sheila almost never existed. No remorse, no missing her mom, no remarks about how SM will never see her granddaughter.
Yes, I think it's a grand adventure for them. HM has clearly bonded with at least one of her lady jailers. I'm sure her local attorney smiles, collects his check, and assures her that she's going to walk, her conflict between mother and baby-daddy were understandable, she didn't actually do anything really wrong, the court will see it that way. HM undoubtedly thinks she'll stay in Bali, live large on her inheritance, and she and the baby will visit TS every day until he is out and they live happily ever after. She has no one and nothing to return to - those people in the party group pictures all looked like TS's friends, not hers.
TS's mother had pledged to use some of the $10K donations to visit him once the trial started. I don't know how long the trial will take, and I'm sure that if she does go, she won't be staying in the St. Regis, but if she does go, that will use up a significant portion of that $10K. I don't suppose TS is worried about it - I'm sure he and HM assumed HM has (or will have) more than enough $$ for both of them.
I wonder who is most relieved, deep down: HM that TS didn't try to throw her under the bus (she has no education, no job prospects and a baby on the way - if she doesn't get SM's money, she's in trouble, and I get the feeling she has no one, not even a casual girlfriend, waiting at home). Or TS that HM didn't leave him high-and-dry, broke and unable to even afford a plane ticket home (they are not cheap from Bali to Chicago, especially a one-way ticket). They're both stranded a long way from home with not too many people at home losing sleep about it.
