Wow....that town has more than it's fair share of nutjobs. Kevin and his silver chipmunk, Jana with her evil-twin-brain-tumor, Ashley's hysterical pregnancy and seeing dead people, MaryJane/Patty the stalker-dead-kitty-lover, and Sharon the klepto-nympho.
Almost everyone in that town is the midst of a breakdown, just getting over one, or on their way towards starting one. Even Katherine was on the verge of a breakdown when she had lyme's induced amnesia. Must be something in the water.
