Jason really makes an ass of himself when he frames biased questions ..."so when you turned on these people." Jeez how arrogant

Wow, Jason came off as incredibly passive aggressive in his final question accusing her of flipping. Im glad she called him out on not listening to anything she said (probably because he was too busy trying to think of another way to slip his name in as someone who was "possibly invited once maybe") and made sure to set the record straight on her integrity.

Molly’s refusal to cooperate really shows perfectly how her parents influenced her. Her mom taught her that at the end of the day, your name is the only thing you really own. Her dad taught her that fear isn't something you listen to; it’s something you overcome. So when she was staring down that plea deal, she had the perfect combination: the values to say no, and the guts to deal with the consequences.
