Maya is anything but strong and independent.
Since around ep 04, people have been thinking about how Maya's dad is so evil, and such a religious fanatic. But now we know that's not the case. Her father is the way he is because of his wife. We finally understand why he's so protective of his daughter, because of his wife's dreams. And Maya knows this. But does she consider what her mother feels? Specially that she's inches away from her death bed. Maya can't even bring herself to just hang in there a little longer until it's all over with. Instead she plays the victim. Fuck Maya and her deranged waste of skin and oxygen of a brother. For him I'd strap that fucking vibrator up his ass permanently and drop him off at the Blue Oyster bar and watch him get raped by a legion of gay bikers.
Maya is weak and a detriment to maturity.
