I know you have a billion and five asks but something just occurred to me. What do you think the plan was when Beth confessed to Boomer's murder? Him coming forward seemed like a surprise to Beth, so what do you think was supposed to happen next?
I do have a billion asks and some are creeping up to being a month old! (The shame! It’s because it was the finale, so I didn’t have to get them out before the new episode, and without a deadline, I just let it all go and then there’s my new job and being exhausted and stressed out all the time etc.)
So I can’t exactly remember the order of things, but I think that Beth was convinced that Boomer was going to cut and run, leaving them with his ‘murder’.
As for Beth, I think that she was finally ready to take the blame for her actions. She went to Turner because if she confessed and took all of the blame, Annie and Ruby would be free and clear. Beth was well aware that she convinced them, and sometimes forced them, into this life. This was her idea from the start, and she was finally stepping up to the plate to take the fall for it all so those two could live their lives.
She wasn’t expecting Boomer’s gram to force him to go to the police station, but that eventually worked in her favor - she got to go home without charges, and Turner had a whole lot of egg on his face.
