I don't think she is wrongly attributing blame.  To her mind, the fact that Paragon knows the truth about Mexico City and is still blaming Bishop for it even when he knows, means that it is his fault.  I'm not quite sure what of that is wrong.  She was pissed off at Ryan because he was threatening her boyfriend with sending him to jail, and because he generally isn't a nice guy.  Paragon and Ryan are the type of people that get things done because they couldn't care less about being nice or doing the right thing, they only care about completing their goals, and they don't get distracted.She is certainly to blame for her choices, but all of the stuff that has happened to her isn't the consequences of the choices she has made.  Her father's murder, and her mom being with Pantheon was out of left field.  In response to that she has clutched at BIshop, wanting him to be a replacement for her dad.  Every time she tries to fix a problem that she sees its like she is flailing out.  Chimera kidnapping her isn't a forseable consequence of her action, the same way that Esther and the Sheriff getting ripped apart by mini-guns fired by the DEA isn't a reasonable consequence of her calling the cops for help.  You can say it was reasonable to assume Legion would do something, but with control of that much money he could do whatever he wanted wherever he wanted it (not to mention his powers).At this point I honestly don't know what she can do to get herself out of any of the trouble that she is in, even a little bit of it.  Whatever she does people around her die, at least in her mind.  She blames herself for what happened to her Dad, and for what happened to her mom.  And now the others are going to get in trouble for killing DEA people, and she'll likely be blamed for starting a war between the UN and the US.  I just don't know what to have her do, and where she can go from here.  I have no clue why anyone would want to have anything to do with her.</blockquote>
