I think most these answers are great, but I'm still not convinced. P's whole attitude reversal was just too sudden and dramatic. The 'you're evil' comment may be a little indicator that P might have started feigning affection for Joe at some point in their association, though.
I found P's character heartbreakingly believable. I think her story with Joe is without a doubt the saddest and most compelling aspect of the entire film.......... her behavior at the end is the perfect example of how certain damaged children are so susceptible and easily swayed. She had become totally bedazzled by Jerome, and he got her to copy all his attitudes, which included hating Joe. In spite of everything that Joe did for her and what they shared together, Jerome was just a stronger and more persuasive influence. P is a very lost girl who wasn't raised with good role models in regards to loyalty and morals.
Poor P loses her innocence the ugly way and is destined for a sh!tty life just like Joe's.
