Imlie's constant weakness is the argument to protect Rapini for the sake of the non-existent child.
The fact that Imlie suffered from being illegitimate is not a sensible argument - she has come out of it stronger, but Rapini is not ordinary but a spoiled malevolent brat, and should be sent to a mental hospital or prison. This would not harm the child if it exists as it can be taken away from her and cared for by better people. Many women in prison are pregnant, it does not mean they should get away from their crimes. Often women use pregnancy as a deliberate excuse, as is Malini - not once has she showed any real feeling for the offspring, it is just a weapon, to make Adi stay with her, to not rush off to help him, to make the family support her, etc, etc.
When has she gone for checkups? When has she browsed through shops for baby clothes or discussed if it might be a boy or girl, or what names to choose? She has done nothing but remind people that the poor thing is pregnant and needs to be pandered to, yet she is quite capable of pushing Imlie off a balcony, shooting herself and driving a rolling machine!
Imlie should get off this track of thinking Malini's baby must be protected. How is it safe with a sick megalomaniac? Her story and Imlie's are very different, so Imlie's arguments are not valid.
I want an end to this pregnancy nonsense and soon. It is exhausting and boring. 😡
