Bethany Thomas Shrine
Portrayed by: Jennifer Morrison
Occupation: Attorney at Fish & Cage
Important relationships: Daniel (husband), Alan (former boyfriend)
Biography
Bethany is the emotional center of the series, even when the Codex edits away her independence. Her terrifying mirror appearances prove that her real personality is fighting back.
In the early episodes this character seems to belong to a perfectly ordinary workplace comedy. By midseason, the office itself has become a place where memories, motives and even employment histories can be rewritten. Watch the reaction shots: they tell a different story from Alan’s narration.
Character Development
The episodes I recommend for watching this character are the pilot, The Perfect Woman, Forbidden Fruits and the finale. Some of the biggest changes happen without anyone mentioning them out loud.
Favorite Quote
You never asked what I wanted.
Webmaster Notes
My friend Scott thinks Bethany is secretly the villain. I disagree (except in Alan’s case, which is becoming a little difficult to defend). Please send theories, NOT chain letters.
