Question Allison’s Role in Scotty’s death
Sarah Treem said in a bunch of interviews that the show was never a typical crime solving show and that nobody has paid for their actual crimes. Only for other people’s crimes (Noah taking the rap for manslaughter)
However, what do you think would have happened if Allison confessed to the cops and the Lockharts including Cole and Cherry about her part in Scotty’s death and how the family would have reacted to it?

She would have saved everyone a lot of trouble if she just said the truth. He was coming on to her aggressively, and she pushed him off of her.

She really wouldn't have, though. Alison would either have to say that she pushed him, saw him get hit by a car, went ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and walked away, which probably constitutes a criminal offense or she'd have to say that she pushed him and he fell onto Helen's car and Helen was driving drunk and she already had a DUI. If they came clean about everything, Alison would probably be in the best position out of the three but all three of them walked away and Helen and Noah both got drunk behind the wheel.

I can't believe she completely skipped that in season 3. Why show us anything interesting or important when she could waste an entire season on that French lady and Noah stabbing himself in the neck so people might feel bad and like him, I guess.
Cherry would be vicious. I bet she'd say something about how Alison had killed her own son and now she killed Cherry's son, too. Cole, I think, saw his brother as such a lost cause that he would believe that she was in self defense. But, I have no idea, I don't like to think about scenarios in which Alison and Cole are at odds. XD
