I finally was able to put into words what has always bothered me about WA's interview with Det Isom. When she is told Danny has been shot and she does the "anticipating hyperventilation" DahliaD wailing and then adds "I was on the street and thought a tree fell." She never once says, "OMG, if I had driven down the street an hour earlier, I could have been a victim, too!" But she never says or presents that scenario. I believe the reason she never verbalizes or even entertains that scenario is because she knows she was NEVER the target. She knew/knows Danny was the only intended target and that is why it never occurs to her to play act the "Oh, it could have been me" scenario. Never once!!
Not even saying, "thank God it didn't happen when he had the children." Of course she would never say that either because the plan all along was to make sure the children would not be present!
And then of course, the call to Mommy, "You can put me on speaker phone." ??? Who even thinks to say something like that just before announcing her children's father has been shot and not expected to live??? Realize she has been at the police station for almost 6 hours when she finally makes the call to Donna's phone 7:08PM. Absolutely amazing she finally calls the "Primary caregivers" (when not with Dan) grandparents/financial backers who have been paying her attorneys fees, buying her groceries, the sounding board of every complaint she has about her life, divorce, career, broken home appliance and court rulings, yet doesn't feel the urgency to call her parents for six hours! WA has been talking, blaming, joking, complimenting, hugging, emoting, planning who would pick the children up from daycare .... except for the occassional over-the-top emoting, she comes right back to center and responds to every single question. She isn't exhausted, confused or overwhelmed...she is giving the performance of her life. And even if the police still had her cell phone, she could have asked to use a landline in order to give her parents a call so they could drive up to help her and the children through her crisis. But that wasn't a part of the plan...because Danny was still alive (in the hospital) and DA & HA were not taking the money to CA's house until they got word the dastardly crime had been confirmed and Danny would not survive. Wait-for-the-call.
So much for the "fool proof plan."
