I think I turned a corner on her this episode. But I should have known there was something in her worth exploring after the "I hate you, Mommy" omelet scene
I figured so too. Her reaction wasn't flippant or angry; she seems to genuinely realize what a lackluster parent she is. (bites her lip and forces herself to eat the broccoli infested omelet.) And that's why I found her kind of interesting from the get go. Terrible parent, lack of scruples, but she seems to really enjoy life; she'd be great to go out and have a beer with, even if you'd never want to be her family for all the world. And it leads to hilarious implications that when Ohana's a grown woman, she can easily wind up being just as jaded as her.
