...audacity to commit adultery with Caleb Nichol, but lost credibility when it was revealed that she didn’t even know whose sperm it was that seeded her precious little Lindsay. So they wrote her ass off the show! And Rebecca, the ugly hippie who attempted the sin of all sins by threatening Sandy’s marriage, is hardly worth the ashes of her dead father that she tossed into the sea in the worst scene the show has yet provided...
