insane parallels between vera and grace. while grace was a rebel, vera obeyed what her father told her for YEARS because she knew the story of the "harlot whore" and her shame and the disdain the church had for her. but after vera learns of the monsignor's aop, she's the first one to extend any sort of sympathy to grace, being the first one truly recognize "that poor girl" (which father jud later echoes in remembrance after the reveal) because vera realizes she's been trapped between her dead father and her "son" just like grace...incredible. and when the monsignor calls vera "her father's worst nightmare," it hits doubly hard bc that's exactly what the church viewed grace as. oh rian johnson the writer you are...
