I could see there being a past relationship between Penny and FP. She's acting like a scorned lover. I've seen a theory that Penny is the real mother of Betty, and a sister of Alice, and maybe FP is the dad. BUT I'm going to tweak this so that they aren't directly related (Bughead, that is): She's the real mother of Polly. If she's tied with BH or is the one pulling the strings, this could make sense because when pulling out Betty's dark side, they tested her loyalty to Polly - harshly tested it. Maybe she's resentful that he made her give Polly up, or he promised that they'd get married but ended up marrying Jug's mom instead, leaving her in a position where she had to give up the baby and she holds it against him. Taking her anger out on one of his children, Jug, might be poetic. And her ties with Betty could be a test. However, of course, BH's motives don't really line up with her character. These, of course, could be false motives. Or it could merely be someone trying to prove that the Northsiders are just as big of sinners as the Southsiders; judge not or ye shall be judged sort of deal. I mean, she IS a lawyer, with an understanding of the law and crime and punishment, it can be easy for a psychopath to twist these ideals to suit their own thoughts.

I didn't think that out at all before I wrote it so that could easily be an incoherent mess filled with ridiculous thoughts. But throwing it out there. Something tells me Polly is somehow key to this.
