Hello all, this is my first post here on the board, so here goes...
I have been reading the episode summaries, and I would like to start a discussion on the character of "Crazy" Jenny Collins.
First, let's make the hypothetical assumption that Jenny is a real person, same as you or I. Now, let's also assume that she presents the same general pattern of behaviors she exhibits in episodes 716 and 717. For a recap, those include:
-- sneaking around, trying at all costs to avoid being seen by those she does not wish to reveal herself to
-- a general inability to distinguish certain inanimate objects from living things (her caring for Nora's doll as if it were a living child)
-- homicidal tendencies (trying to burn Judith alive in bed; threatening to stab Judith with the scissors)
-- rapidly cycling shifts in personality (going from preparing to murder Judith to crooning a lullaby to her "babies" nearly instantaneously)
-- making statements which, to you or I, would seem quite nonsensical (see her "What color is a lie?" speech)
Furthermore, let's assume that she, through whatever series of events, found herself in a legitimate mental institution.
My question is, what would most likely end up being Jenny's diagnosis?
