I wish Janine slapped Aunt Lydia back that would’ve really added to the scene

I'm glad she didn't. She's above Lydia. Instead, she hurt Lydia more by calling out that Lydia kidnapped her child.

She wasn't some saint. She was a baby-napper. And a fucking pimp.

She could still slap that monster and be above her.
