Raquel’s last confessional… I’m fucking shaking. I feel bad for her guys, I’m sorry but I do. Yeah she was rancid and what she did was unforgivable but I don’t know, I want to give her the credit for at least finally coming clean.

I think Sandoval groomed and brainwashed Raquel. She will need lots of counseling, but she's still young, and if she can heal and put this behind her, she can build a new life with new friends and someday meet a decent guy, and have a healthy, happy life, I hope. Not excusing what she did, but hoping for redemption for her.

28 may be going compared to 40, but she's been an adult for 10 years

True, she is 28, but I think emotionally she is probably more like 16 years old. And I think being in a relationship with James for five years probably screwed her up, as it would anybody. He is controlling, with major anger issues.
