A fan favorite, Alison Hendrix has had her world turned upside-down by the discovery that she’s a clone (but don’t use the c-word!).  Kris and Stephanie discuss Alison’s status as a suburban soccer mom, her paranoia and impulsiveness (and why they’re a bad combination), and her relationships.

Alison as the domestic/suburban/“normal” one

• Introduced as being overtly hostile to Sarah and, therefore, not particularly likable
• Seems to be most unprepared for the clone revelation
• Craft Room of Terror
• Alison’s mental state is revealed in the small moments – like the “standby” scene

Paranoia/Impulsiveness

• Immediately suspects Donnie at the first mention of monitors
• Alison is surprisingly confrontational – as when she whacks Donnie in the head with a golf club
• Smokes a joint with Chad, then shags him
• Lets Aynsley die – Stephanie thinks Alison may have hesitated because she thought Aynsley would use some badass monitor skills and save herself

Relationships

• If Alison cares about anyone, it’s her children
• Scenes with her kids are always fleeting (usually with Alison ushering them out a door), but affectionate
• Respected Beth – Alison may have been able to relate most to Beth
• We want to see what the meeting of the original clone club was like
