Many of you seem hung up on the different approaches to Bea's and Freddy's emotional "breakdown".
Let's set the record straight, shall we.
When Freddy had his breakdown, it was after a sustained and deliberate emotional attack by Bea to him. Referring to him as "a nasty little man", removing herself from negative people, the "why are you talking that way" comment. She couldn't have cared any less about the damage she was causing to Freddy, who truly believed that she was a friend.
When Marcus told her a few truths, he did so in a calm, friendly, positive manner, even while she constantly interupted him and said her usual boorish and abusive comments.
When it was clear to her that she did not have a leg to stand, after Marcus remained consistent in reminding her she was being negative in describing Freddy, rather than trying to build bridges; she did the only thing she thought would work. She rather obviously and very badly mimiced Freddy's emotional distress. Except' she had the presence of mind to let Marcus know he was a bully and enquired if he was happy now (after making sure she was in full view of the camera). Hardly the expected way a person who has lost emotional control would act.
She is nasty and vicious, much more so than Lisa.
