I hope that doesn't happen in terms of losing sympathy for Kristina as a victim, because I think that would ruin the whole point of the storyline. Thanks for the compliment!

You are right, Kristina's pattern of lying will damage her credibility in the future. And I fear that this latest plot twist is going to villainize her to the point where everyone forgets that she is the victim in all of this. Good post by the way! Paula Hi Michele!

ITA about Ethan. They could have written him as finding Kristina without her lying and saying that he attacked her and there would have still been loads of possibilities. And you're also right that she could have lied that her attacker had a mask on....I think this lying thing will, ultimately give her no credibility in the future because, as has been pointed out, she already lied about running Claudia off the road. Thanks for posting! Michele Hi Paula!

I don't understand why the show couldn't have written Ethan in as the person who found Kristina and left it at that. Why did he have to leave bruises on her arm just to propel the idea that he attacked her? And of course we know what the DNA results will be. It is plausible that an abuse victim would protect her abuser but why couldn't Kristina have just said she didn't know who attacked her because he had his face covered or something?
