Joy suffers from the need of acceptance and heroism her childhood issues and abuse rise to the surface after her husband and children are claimed by the storm. She is unable to cope so inventing this no nonsense personality has helped her recede into the background by way of medication. Lillian takes charge and begins to attack those she feels have wronged her.
“Enough is enough…” Lillian says, while Joy maintains her halo, however she suffers in that it is still her physical form lashing out. Joy finds it hard to believe that her family is so willing to let go and give up on perhaps finding her family, because she has yet to grasp that they are gone. She literally snaps, she continues to make their beds cook meals, and her sightings of her husband prove to her that her husband is calling to her for help. Her family on the other hand is sure that she has lost her mind. Joy’s work is suffering, her bills are getting behind, so much so that her Mother in Law has to step in and find her a new home and ensure bills are paid. Her sister revels in the fact that she is sick, but face to face reassures Joy that things will be ok. Instead of helping Joy she is staging things to look as if Joy has in fact gone completely crazy but is met with a rude awakening.
As Joy continues to use psychotherapy drugs her alter ego begins to assume inhabitance of her mind completely. Joy is losing herself, to Lillian and her domineering persuasive and seductive spirit. Lillian begins to turn up the heat and show the clan that she is now the “HBIC!”
