“”””The big question is why was she off methadone for three days?””””
Ponder this:
At some point in time, during Anna’s forced isolation - between Daniel’s death - her inability to contact her mother and bonding with her baby - she had an epiphany - a moment of lucidity and longing for normal.
Anna’s touch of reality was a disaster for Howie’s control over his meal ticket..he was probably clued in by KE -that Anna wanted to ‘clean up her act and her life’. Remember, Anna had some contact with Larry and may have hoped he was her way back to normal. The committment ceremony was a sham and Michael Scott her attorney in the Bahamas was giving her hell for it - as well as the straight facts of her legal/moral situation.
Howie drags her to Florida - he and KE withhold her Methadone - substituting worse drugs - knowing she will soon be a basket case. Howie knows that he and the tabloids have tons of videos of ANS drugged out of her mind...he needs to reinforce that impression.
Anna has no clue and no escape.
He can attribute any crazy behavior (including suicide or an accidental overdose) to her drug addiction(s). With KE on board - they are able to manipulate Anna’s drugs to show the PUBLIC - what a wasted druggie she has become.
Better yet - she self-destructs. And Perper agrees!
Better yet - she self-destructs. And Perper agrees!"
Recall Howies's testimony, it was all about what a mess she'd become since Daniel's death.
