Sorry, but it is absolutely believable- You have any idea the amount of millionaire lottery winners that end up on welfare? A big percentage.Part of the reason this happens is because of what you're doing right now.... assuming that the money is a lot. That's what happens to lottery winners. A couple of years back I remember an interview in the local paper of a woman who won 1.5 million in the lottery and she was talking about all the things she was going to do with that money, including taking care of her 13 grandchildren and her kids and her buying a house and going on vacations and buying a car...etc, etc... If she actually bothered to do the math behind all that, she'd know that 1.5 million can't cover all that especially after taxes. One million dollars isn't a lot of money anymore- it's not enough to cover even ONE person's lifetime expenses let alone a huge family. That's likely what happened to Emily- She thought half a million was a huge amount of money which it isn't and before she knew it, she blew it all. Not all lotto winners fall into that trap of thinking it's a lot of money though- I remember reading about this farmer who won a million dollars in the lotto. He spent most of it on getting updated farm equipment and more acres of land so he could continue to work but more efficiently and make more money- so when the money ran out he was still able to make a better living than he did before. Here's an example of someone who REALLY understood how far a million dollars will get you and knew that he would still have to work to make a living.   See 4 other replies

She seems like the type that would enjoy stripping/hooking, though.   See 4 other replies

ppl who win the lottery usually blow through it. you have to work for the money to appreciate it. however, having to resort to stripping seemed like a stretch too   See 4 other replies

David Clarke, in one of his journals, told his daughter to contact Takeda. It was in the episode where we first see Takeda. If I am not mistaken, he told his daughter that he wanted her to move on from the hatred, but if she needed to find answers or couldn't resist to seek revenge, then she should contact Takeda   See 7 other replies

I thought Takeda was a family member of someone who died in the plane crash so he did have a stake in Emily's revenge plot to some extent. I could be wrong. The long break has fogged my memory on some of the finer details.   See 7 other replies
