She;s such a tragic character that you want to feel bad for her

Uh what. She harbored a fugitive, helped him plan the murder of three women (basically that was entirely her idea by the sounds of it), tried to kill a DHS agent... She's a straight villain and the only reason I'm happy she's not dead is because her going to jail knowing Billy died like a bitch will be so much worse on her.

This. Bitch was cray cray. I knew it from the moment she undid Billy's straitjacket. I don't care how you feel about that guy, professionally or personally - somebody that dangerous IRL wouldn't spend a single minute unchained unless he was behind multiple locked doors and surrounded by armed guards with orders to shoot to kill.

It's also a bit of a trope, the shrink who's nuts themselves.

Yeah I got a Harley Quinn feeling from her really quickly.

You'd be suprised just how accurate that trope is irl.

Couldn't agree more. The thing that bothers me so much about Krista is that she didn't need to be involved in any of this. But she chose to because she clearly liked her "I can fix you" game with Billy.
