She was so deserving of good. By the time she decided that getting pregnant was her only way out of the h*** she had been placed in, I realized that the desperateness of her situation was at a completely different level. You can only wonder what the other characters would have felt and done had there been more at stake in their lives than pride, power, status... Krystal had a lot of things going against her, and its admirable that her top priority was helping her brother. Although, as I write that, that is all-too-ironic. *Sigh*
Next favorite: Parminder. Despite her other flaws, I honor and admire that she had the courage to really give it to Howard (even though her delivery was not what anyone who actually wants to accomplish something should use). It was just so disgusting that so many of the people on the council could be so selfish, that I felt could really relate to Parminder. Especially given the fact that she had lost her ally, Barry, and was defending her cause alone.
Least favorites: 1. Howard. 2. Shirley. Enough said.
