Lena's quote slayed me. I think Richard/Michelle were in the same position and they were both leaving. But since Michelle didn't really interact with Maisie, Sophie, etc since S1, it wouldn't be exactly the same. Lena has always interacted with Jack and she did for 4 years. She literally saw him grow up
maybe it's fiction where she had to see him die that way but she knew in real life he'd be gone from the show anyway so that's just sad.
