What happened to Mrs. Simms? Did she ever forgive her daughter for all her actions? Did they ever make any contact afterwards?
And Cyndi; Charlotte...
Helen.
I wonder, did Helen ever know about what happened to Cyndi and Charlotte? Did it have any effect to her mentality; knowing that at least some people who treated her like trash -are- insane, to say the least? (although I guess timeline-wise, she'd probably still struggled with a missing wallet and a fake application. So..)
And I don't know if this has been asked or not...and especially due to where she is now,
but what did she learn during her life in the Boston / S*P world? From what we'd seen, some of the viciousness have clung on her... that would also imply a certain directness and a certain willingness to speak her own mind. Are there any other (significant) things she learned during her time there?
Mrs. Simms did contact her daughter. In time, the sin of attempted murder became much less of a problem for her than Charlotte's differing views and quiet but firm grip on them. After a childhood of desperately trying to placate her mother wherever possible, Charlotte had simply lost all fear of her, and there wasn't much to their relationship without that.
Randy has carte blanche with Helen, yes. I have to imagine the official Cyndi story reached her at some point, but that official story is that Charlotte went crazy and kidnapped her, then nearly committed suicide, and poor Cyndi was so traumatized that she was left in a mental institution. There's not much about that story that wouldn't say to Helen, "Good thing you got out of that burg while the getting was good."
