I am sure you will agree with me: Scott is a hunter. A psychopathic hunter. He finds a girl that catches his interest and he tries to reel them in (accidentally fitting into the running fish joke on the thread - do I get any credit?). The obsession is to get them into putty in his fingers like Mommy Dearest was.
He probably hates them once they finally trust and love him, then it's on to the next one. He was probably able to control his mother too much and too early, and despises anyone who falls thus under his spell.
But he loves the thrill of the chase. And he has to be #1. Connor was about to move in on his territory. I fully believe Connor was the intended victim all along and Laci was just the vessel to get to him.
Credit duly given for contribution to running fish joke!
It makes my blood run cold to think of someone WANTING to kill his own baby boy.

Yes, what you've said makes sense, although we don't know for sure. He does appear to be an obsessive guy and, perhaps, thrilled by the hunt or conquest.
