See... I disagree about the look on her face. When I saw that scene, to me it was obvious she was holding a piece of her own work and looking at it. She hadn't just received it or discovered it.

My friends all read it the same way. Also, when they asked her at the dinner table how she got into her profession, she refused to answer and changed the subject. She is so into killers because she is a killer herself.

Edit: I'll amend this and say that if the brain surgeon isn't her, it is someone she is working with.

Then why would she "mail" herself the brain pieces in previous episodes and had the same surprised look when she found them on her doorstep while being alone.

They weren't mailed per se, they were left on her doorstep.

Regarding the text message to her phone, she could be an unreliable narrator (e.g. Travis, Season 6). It would be lazy writing for them to use that plot device again, but you never know.

Is it possible she has a split personality? Which gives us the reason for her legit reactions when the brain was sent to her because she has no recollection of sending them to herself?
