I never really understood Paige's attachment to Lena. I know they went into the house together and she promised to get her out, but should that override every other consideration? Mike was looking at the bigger picture, if they shut that house down then they would just open up three more that the FBI wouldn't know about. Paige's position just seemed to be really short-sighted and biased by personal attachment. Mike's plan would have shut down the sex trafficking business at the source and would have saved dozens more girls just like Lena. Anyway, telling a girl that she is being irrational and that she shouldn't be feeling what she's feeling is a good way to get kicked in the balls, so I don't see how Mike can get out of this one.
he burned an abused girls' body to ashes rather than face the consequences of admitting leaving her in there led to her death, now her parents have no body to burry. Paige asked him to get Lena out and volunteered to stay in her place it and she would have had a much better chance of surviving that place then Lena did plus she could have testified once it was all over, Mike chose to save Paige over Lena because of his emotions which was irrational and had dire consequences which he compounded by faking Lena's escape and CREMATING HER leaving nothing of her existence not even an urn of ashes she is just gone.
It wasn't just her in there, apart from Lena there were like fifteen other girls. Paige's single-track mindset of saving Lena at the expense of the overall operation was naive. Why did she value Lena's safety over the safety of the countless other girls that could get affected if the sex trafficking operation wasn't shut down at its source. What Mike did was morally questionable, but at least he had the greater good in mind.
I think you can safely say morally wrong :) Anyway, I have to agree that Paige is to attached to Lena, that said, her death is partially Mike's fault for trying to get her out the way he did. But Mike's heart is in the right place, like you said, cut them of at the source and you safe much more girls.
Both Paige and Mike just need to be honest with eachother and themselves. That would solve a lot of tension I think!
It really annoys me that Paige said the Mike we knew is gone. I would say the Paige everyone knew is so totally lost. Mike stayed in that hellhole for so long partially for her and
