I never realized there was a technical distinction between "prison" and "jail." And good point about the babysitting. Presumably Angelica wasn't with Aunt Kit, either, who was the victim of an armed robbery at the same time. Thanks, Liza!

The utter mangling of the legal procedures involved. IF Helena is in jail, not prison, then she can be bailed out, but she is not paying her debt to society yet. Society hasn't decided what that debt is by convicting her of any crime. If Helena has already been convicted of a crime, she is in prison. You cannot get bailed out of prison. You have to finish paying your debt to society, even if you are a Peabody. Also? Where was Angelica while Bette was miserable in the woods and Tina was getting it on with Dr Fake Boobs?
