One thing I find interesting from a physiological standpoint is how Ashley acts to Manuel and then about him. When Ashley speaks to Manuel, she is the submissive. She says things like, oh now I see, you’re being a grumpy kitty, you don’t care how I feel? Then she turns with deep, unblinking eyes at PRODUCTION and says: my mf dog will stay on the bed, no one talks to me this way.

She has a misrepresentation of who she is to herself. She thinks she’s playing the dominant, but she’s playing the submissive. She’s getting her dominant out at production, appeasing herself like she’s telling this to Manuel, but she’s not. So she’s fooling herself.
