Even though Sam cites his first meeting Rebecca as the inspiration for the live-action ATA, I don’t think he would have acted on that inspiration until he was sure it was not only something REBECCA wanted, but also something that could help her.

What if Rebecca somehow blames herself for what happened to her original family? And how this manifests is that whenever something goes wrong—even something small—that may possibly be her fault, she lashes out at her reflection, the “girl in the glass.” Sam watches this happen time and again, and realizes that she also associates her reflection with depictions of herself in photographs and home videos. It’s deeply disturbing for her, and it’s not something she’s able to fully articulate. So Sam names her reflection Amanda—someone who’s worthy of love—and starts writing stories about her to tell Rebecca. And when Rebecca has the chance to embody these stories for herself, by performing as Amanda in the show, it gives her a sense of agency over her past, and a newfound love of the “girl in the glass.”

If you've never read George Macdonald, you should. (Not snark, just a recommendation.)

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. (Ephesians 5:25-33)

[There's a wrinkle in the water. Where we laid our first daughter. And I think the wind blows so sweetly there. Over there.]
