What are you talking about? She was her best friend, and weird things started happening when a strange woman came into their lives. Of course Ellen is confused. Ruby is important to her, but she's known Freya since childhood. Would you immediately question your friend, accusing them of tormenting an innocent girl? After what she went through with her mother, she didn't want to lose another person. She lived in denial, and that's a fact, but it's not strange after everything she's been through. So no, she's not easily manipulated; she's simply human and was NOT a witness to any of the earlier attempts to get rid of Ruby. She only saw contradictory visions of what happened from the lips of the girl she considered a friend and from Ruby
I will never subscribe to her ending up with the female leads one good brother. She's a terrible person, what business would she have to be the female leads sister in law after being her abuser.
