Biography[]
Before Claudette's incareration[]
In flashbacks, Josephine is introduced by Jean Baptiste to Claudette, and he explains that Josephine is now his wife. Claudette offers Josephine a drink, hoping to be friendly, when Jean goes to retrieve the drink. It becomes clear how rude she is when she tells Claudette within less than a minute of meeting her, "I don't know how you've done it all these years. Taken in these children when you can't have children of your own. It must be so difficult". Although Claudette was clearly hurt by Josephine's snarky comment, she simply replied "I made my peace with it". ("Imaginary Enemies")
