Ironically, I feel like the key is her stubborn will; because for the sake of her family and a stable life (as well as, we've seen a few times now, to rebel against her mother) she feels the need to believe in The System---to the extent that she's even deluded herself *about* herself (those minor moments of rebellion and conscience we've seen in the future-flashbacks, especially this season). And of course, having worked so long in service of The System the cost of admitting that she was on the wrong side, or at least that her side wasn't righteous, becomes vast, and so she trained her will towards the task of shutting down all doubt's and objections,and focused her outrage outwards at Liber8 and other as seditious folks.<br /><br />But having betrayed Alec, and seeing the clear truth shrouded from her boss's eyes by his single-minded allegiance to The System and pursuit of The Terrorists, she's suddenly forced to confront what she's been building up over all these years, just below the surface. And it seems Betty's death will be the shove that takes her from teetering over the edge into the abyss that is The System Is The Problem.<br /><br />I just caught up on the show (and your reviews), and I have to say, very good job, and I find myself perversely hating that we have a holiday Monday (which snuck up on me, I literally didn't realize it until today somehow, and still can't quite believe it---in part because I don't want it to be true, fittingly!).Keith Z-Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15383918755087723274noreply@blogger.com
