Stevie was initially hostile towards Taylor. Did you understand why? Was this a natural response?

A newly-pregnant woman, who has a wonderful second husband would naturally feel possessive of him. She had to use her powers of reasoning to deal with her natural feelings.

Stevie was one hot mess of hormones, cop and fiercely protective wife! At first I couldn’t understand why she was being so aggressive but I eventually got there.

She knew what a hole in Clay's life the disappearance of Sienna was. Stevie is a fiercely protective person for the ones she loves. I wasn't surprised at all that she came out swinging.

Stevie always has been portrayed with a short fuse and fairly fierce in her personality. Plus she has gone through so much trauma in her life, I gave her a pass for feeling defensive for Clay. They all have a right to feel anger about the situation.

I had a problem with Stevie at first. I felt like she wanted to prevent a relationship between Taylor and Clay. I understand that she was pregnant, hormonal, etc., but she is a mother. I expected her to help Clay and Taylor a little more.
