EVERYTHING that she did in the episode was scripted and planned to elicit a particular response from Jack. I trust her least of any of them.
I don't disagree with you about the scripted and planned program she has for Jack. That's all part of the behavioral scientist mode that I mentioned in a previous post. Everything they do at that camp or stockade is planned to see how these individuals will respond to specific stimuli.
Watch the opening again. She chooses that song on the CD. She's imperfect; she burns her muffins and her hand. She can get angry with her "peers;" she gives hell to a fellow book club member. She gives a dirty look or at least at shadowed look to the leader, whose name I cannot recall, as they all race outside after the earthquake.
I think there may be cracks in her armor and she may not be as robotically devoted to the project as we are lead to believe. That's why I think the song is significant, which I didn't pick up on until I watched it again. (I tape the shows so I can watch several times.)
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
