I don't know. That's a lot to throw at someone. Amy shut down. She neede a break. Then to get further screwed in the head, her best friend is ALSO her daughter. And her daughter just tried to kill her best friend (maybe not magick, ut still her best friend) and she never KNEW her as River, but she grew up with Mels and this is the final straw.
Then River/Mels redeems herself.
I don't know. All of this.
- One, there are no guidelines for dealing with stuff like this. And AGMGTW showed the extent (and the price) of the Doctor's ability to put things right. And then, as you say, comes Berlin, and everything is so interconnected that I'm not sure where Amy would start. It's not even a question of squashing it down as an inability to work out what to do.Melody is Mels is River and it's all the Doctor's fault and River forgives him (and he forgives her) and Amy has nowhere to direct any emotions.
- Two, this is Moffat and everything is a metaphor. So we get The Girl Who Waited and TONS of stories about parents and children and their dynamics. (I have meta...)
