Wonder if he ever showed her the photos of his ex after he pulverized her face like a kiwi in a blender. He skull was basically shattered and he broke a whole bunch of her bones on other body parts. They don't give you life for simple assault & battery.
She's insane.
He is misunderstood. She can reform him, from a safe distance. Afterall, he does have a Lifetime to rebuke his evil ways, and become the man that she wants him to be.
The ultimate project.
