I've started feeling less goodwill towards Liz in recent episodes, not just this latest one. There is something Jen Shah-esque about her. Not necessarily the criminal stuff (although we can have a discussion about whatever the pot business is a front for, or why her husband is selling the boat!). I'm thinking more about Jen Shah in S1, when thought she was Queen Bee and could control the narrative -- and who imploded once she realized viewers were warming to Mary Cosby.
For me, it was the way Liz backed Kelsey the last few episodes, even when Kelsey was trying to bully and intimidate Rosie who, luckily, is not easily intimidated.
It's also the way she's going to and fro with Rulla, pretending to back her girl but at the same time encouraging Jo-Ellen to release the info. I wonder if she's turning on Jo-Ellen because she senses that Jo-Ellen is playing a great game and standing her ground on certain issues (like Rulla's husband).
I'm no expert, but Liz this episode seemed like she was on coke. She was really wired, hyper and off. Her voice was more nasally and congested-sounding than usual.
