Holy crap, man! I am knocked asunder by the ramifications of this. Still wrapping my head around this possibility...

ELAINE WAS THE VILLAIN?! She was systematically clearing out all female rivals so she could be the only one for Hank (literally)?

I need to have a sit down. This is a lot to take in.
She dabbled in things she did not understand -- more Sorcerer's Apprentice than villain. I don't imagine she even imagined her Tina voodoo doll would work, much less that it would spill over and affect potential rivals.

She learned, almost too late, that woman is a feeling creature and, because of it, the greatest in the universe. She learned, too late for herself, that women have to make their own way, to make their own mistakes. There can't be any gift of perfection from outside ourselves. And, when women seek such perfection, they find there's only death, fire, loss, disillusionment, the end of everything that's gone forward. Women have always sought an end to toil and misery. It can't be given; it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from woman herself.
