That motive was so laughable.
Out of all the subplots they have such a *beep* motive in the finale.They must have got lazy.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

I was waiting for the reveal of Kate being pregnant to Mandy's husband. After all, Mandy specifically told Cornell that story about Kate "getting what she wanted" in terms of a man one time. That at least would have made for a more solid motive especially since Mandy couldn't get pregnant at that time, or so we thought.
sharenot really
it's never Joan Van Ark- Marge Simpsons
I thought it was lazy too. Just felt rushed and slapped together, as if they were considering multiple people for the role of the killer and filmed different death scenes and decided to go with Amanda and so had to make it fit somehow.
shareJust plain terrible is exactly right. Jealous because she got pregnant? The biggest problem is that they didn't foreshadow this type of behavior from Amanda. Had they shown her psycho side prior to the big reveal it would've worked better.
shareMy only real complaint this season. Other than that, I really enjoyed season 2. Well, I could've done without the Danny/Rachel subplot.
Remember when message boards used to be fun?
I think that only someone who clearly never dealt with fertility issues would think like this.
It can be really consuming and it consumed Amanda's life. Granted most people would have reacted with hurt, but it was the comment that "she wasn't even trying" that drove Amanda over the edge. I don't think she meant to kill Kate, she just went on a rampage from a place of hurt and anger.
And I have taken some fertility drugs when I donated eggs and they honestly did drive me completely batty. I can see the validity of this motive and find it quite strong.
I agree. Fertility drugs that toss hormonal havoc into your life, and the stress and depression that goes with trying to get pregnant can make someone unbalanced. On top of taking fertility hormones, she was unknowingly pregnant, causing another strange mixture of hormonal reactions in her body. It's totally believable that she could freak out.
shareThe comment was "what's the matter with you?" Mandy took it the wrong way.
shareIndeed, it is silly how all those big dramatic turns (having a second family, leading a whore house, having a devastatingly failed investment) all lead to nothing, but some pushing around really was the issue. Especially in a setting without witnesses, she could have come up with all kinds of reasons how it happened, instead of an elaborate cover up, which she would know could easily lead to uncovering all her scheming and failings in the background. I don't buy the level of misjudgement on her part. Neither do I understand how the tough detective misses something as obvious as finding out people's locations at the time of the murder, which would have solved the case after the first episode.
shareThat's the idea that could save the season, and it wasn't spoken aloud in the finale.
If you are keeping secrets and telling lies, something can happen that doesn't have anything to do with you, and it all can come spilling out.
Gee Woodle, Space Kadoodle!
I don't agree with that assessment, it could have been anyone, the process of elimination and misinformation is what makes the show. The title says it all.
In the last episode Amanda says "do you really think you can make me confess?" Eric perks up at her choice of the word confess.
The hormonal condition of the character obsessed with the desire to be a mother is as good as any motive or reason. She was erratic in a few spots, they did have her striding around being on a power trip as the big time attorney, and knowing what we now know what was controlling was actually self preservation.
Beginnings are always messy.
