I wonder if I've just seen too many shows that are ACTUALLY shocking.<BR/><BR/>Neither of us liked the show enough to really spend time analyzing it, but two quick thoughts: (1) As an alternative to raging self-hatred (not that she doesn't have that, too), but it may also be that Abby, dead baby on hand, sows up her vagina to "keep" the child safe inside her. (2) I don't have a copy of the script, but I got the impression that the "prostitute" scenes took places after the baby had already been born--makes it even sicker; that is, that her psyche turns her into a creature filled with such hate that it backwashes at her. By the way, I love that line of yours about "webisodes."
