something sick and twisted about how michaela was "training" simone to take over part of the charity, hence her being a mini-michaela, only for that to actually... pan out as accidentally training her to become her husband's new wife
#sirens tag#that thing of... 'no one knows how to take care of those birds like me' 'simone does'#i don't know what peter even wants in a relationship. easy trophy wife i guess.#one he doesn't blame for all of his problems already so his life can feel new and exciting and renewed like when he first cheated#but like. presumably. he doesn't view his wives as People.#so michaela training simone into being able to fulfill michaela's on-paper duties perfectly#and be an even younger ''prettier'' version of her who could maybe give peter a child#it's... i mean... michaela knew she didn't really matter at a certain point anyway - that feeling she talked about re: being small#and worrying peter was cheating at all and recognizing how his approval of her is what her whole life hinges on financially#i think she recognized it in waves but she does recognize it#AND she thought she had trained simone to be HERS. all the other staff work for peter but simone works for Her#it's all peter's money but it's michaela's loyalty in simone's case#so she thought simone would never kiss her husband! and she didn't! peter kissed her!#but just the fact of simone not telling her (on top of all the personal secrets that simone was right to keep)#meant michaela wasn't Hers anymore. she could only ever actually trust someone who was#a mirror image of herself in every possible way and she did her best to mold simone into that INCLUDINGG trust but#in making simone's whole identity hinge on pleasing michaela ofc she didn't want to tell her something devastating#it wasn't... a open and symbiotic in the way michaela thought it was i guess. and that's not really simone's fault.#they weren't just Friends they do have a hierarchy that neither of them wanted to acknowledge i think#if when michaela did find out what happened she had chosen simone over peter i think it would've been...#still devastating! but fine#she could've filed for divorce and gotten her share and kept her foundation and kept employing simone#in a branch states away where she didn't have to face her if it was too painful to continue outright working with her#or just! not send her away the way that she did even if she stayed with peter!#and tbh she did seem to acknowledge. as hard as it was. that it was peter's fault more than simone's.#so she chose peter and her current life over simone and divorce and downsizing in simple terms - i know it is emotionally complicated#and like. idk. i can't be mad that simone used the power and influence michaela gave her to be able to come out of that on top#i see why michaela tried to make things work with peter esp bc she didn't exactly have time to process it#but it was the wrong choice. she had what she needed to gain autonomy while continuing with some assets#instead of continuing under peter's thumb on a playing field that put them in a situation where peter has 0 consequences
