According the DSM five people with P d can't handle being criticized or being held accountable, which might explain Randy's, seemingly uncharacteristic outbursts of rage, but
angry or not, Randy gave them the permission they needed to search his room and car while Randy was under surveillance. He called Shelly she'd been missing him, since they got engaged and apparently didn't wanna, be apart from him anymore so they decided that she would drop out of college and move in with Randy. overjoyed to start their life together, Shelly Pact, her belongings and started driving from New Mexico to Oregon still Randy, had bigger issues to worry about than his fiance.
