I never knew that Newbern could be such a good lurker. He always seems to play nice guys. AbusivePaul isn't nice. At all. And our Carla has been trapped in a relationship with him in order to protect Sam's kid. After she engineered an escape for Amy (to her adopted mother), she trained a gun on him and made him call the police and tell them all was well.
