Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-25160183-20141128204221/@comment-67.182.137.227-20141129065534

She could be manipulating them. Lying. Telling partial lies. We have no proof that she has been 100 percent truthful. After years of lying and manipulating them, they have every right to want her to earn her respect and trust again. She acknowledged that she hasn't always been the best friend. Shady behavior in the present says more than her possible half lies about her heroic acts. She doesn't want them to die, because you can't torment dead prey. Maybe she did save them; it may not be for the reasons that she claims. Think about it- A hasn't killed Ali for similar reasons.

Ali may not be Big A in the end, but she has taken for granted that earning redemption takes more than a few "I missed you"'s. Without being transparent with the girls, I don't see how she can expect them to accept that she has changed. Saying "I am not shady anymore; you can trust me!" and then turning around and doing shady things, rightfully makes the people that you say that do question everything that you have ever said to them.
