Why did Priscilla need protecting?

The butcher was abusive to all the ghosts. You could see their fear of her throughout the season. Priscilla was probably the most vulnerable of all the ghosts given that she was a little girl. She needed someone.

Good question. Also, why would Lee be any good at protecting her? She took the Witch'a bargain, which sort of makes her the Butcher's co-worker. Plus, it's not like Flora was gonna give her a "World's Best Mom" mug any time soon. XP

Priscilla only needed protection in poor little Flora's overheated mind.
When she goes back to visit as an adult, Flora will realize she fvcked up.
On the other hand, maybe Flora is brighter than given credit for. She did manage to make her mother pay for the things she'd done. Maybe that was really all she wanted. -

we give the writers too much credit but this is the way I decided to take it to redeem myself for watching this crap. Flora wanted mommy dead and manipulated her into doing it. Priscilla is dead. Flora wouldnt let her mom die for a ghost. She wanted her dead. Also, Flora was annoying as hell and maybe mentally challenged enough to think it was ok to have her mom killed so she can play with her ghost friend. The reasons given on this entire season were incomprehensible. "Im going back to be killed so I can prove Im innocent" "im going back to get my nerdy husband to come home to me". The end takes the cake though, how no one questions this absurd reasoning is beyond me. But like I said, you substituted something a little more clever but I can guarantee that is not how the writers meant it, many of the viewers think its so touching and self sacrificing, that is what we are dealing with here.

Ditto, it was just bad writing. For some reason we are supposed to care about this ghost girl that was mentioned like 2 times and was hardly seen, all of a sudden it's the main focus of the ending and then we are also supposed to care about Lee and her daughter? No.
It was a very sweet ending I will say that, but when the credits rolled I said "huh.. well that sucked." -

You are right. Priscilla has been fine for 450 years give or take.
Did Flora want her mom to die? Did Flora know that if she said "Priscilla said she would not kill me. So, I'm going to get another ghost to do it," that she (Flora) could get Flora to die? The previous combined with the fact that Lee had already been on trial twice for murdering at least 4 people.
Flora is reported missing (again).
Perhaps Flora knew that if she could not get her mom to kill herself - she would at least get her mom arrested again.
There still may be things that we do not know. For example, Flora's description of how Lee murdered Mason was similar to how Shelby murdered Matt.
In court, Flora shrugs when asked by the DA if she was scared being in the woods. Perhaps Flora was never lost in the woods in the manner we were led to believe.
It seemed as though Lee said "it was all for / all about Flora" more than once. Lana Winters during her interview from bed says "It is all for Flora."
I'm not sure if Flora was similar to Lana in the sense Flora had to kill a psychopath (her mother) before the psychopath killed her."
This is why Flora decides to go back to the house and meet with her mother after 2 weeks (2 weeks have passed since Lana Live and Lee and Flora at the house with the Spirit Chasers group)? Flora knows that she (Flora) will either get her mother to die in the house - or - get her mother killed by law enforcement after going missing (again).
It's a shame that we never heard from Priscilla. We were told in MRN that Priscilla wanted the killing to stop. -

It wasn't that she needed protected so much as Priscilla wanted company, because she was scared of the Butcher. Flora took that to mean protection, and Lee rolled with the phrasing to get Flora out of there.

It makes no sense. But with or without sense, that's what Flora wanted and most kids today want what they want when they want it and when they want it is now. They won't take no for an answer and if they hear they word no all hell breaks loose sooo

RM had many ideas and in creating his story, failed to properly craft a web that connected them.
If Priscilla needed protection why not have someone cleanse the land to release all the trapped spirits by some sort of exorcism (I think that was what Cricket was suggesting), than being trapped in the cycle of the blood moon forever.
