Chloe: It was the only way to help him stop.
Miranda: Stop what?
Chloe: Stop fucking me.
Pete: All that education, but you can't remember an umbrella?
Sheriff Ryan: Well you're right. I do fit the profile. Long-time friend of Doug's, access to the prison. I never did get a kick out of torturing animals, though.
Chloe: He said you're next.
Pete: This is the first time I've seen you lucid.
Irene: Come on, honey, time to wash away your sins.
Miranda: I need you to tell me who did this to you? Tell me his name, Chloe. Chloe, tell me. Tell me anything. Tell me.
Chloe: I'll tell you one thing: He can have my body, but he will never have my soul. Never. The devil.
Miranda: Did we have an affair?
Pete: No.
Miranda: Did you want to?
Pete: Yes.
Miranda: Did you think I wanted to?
Pete: Yes.
Miranda: Then why didn't we?
Pete: Because you were married to the boss.
Miranda: But I'm not now.
Pete: I'm here - I'm trying to help you. Why don't you trust me?
Miranda: Because you can't trust somebody when they think you're crazy.
Miranda: All I know is I saw this girl, and she's connected to me. How? I don't know how she's connected to me. But she is.
Pete: Delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, frequent derailment and incoherence.
Miranda: Don't rattle off this psychiatric shit to me! I know that like the back of my hand.
Pete: Good! Good. Saves me the trouble.
Miranda: I'm not deluded, Pete, I'm possessed.
Pete: I don't believe in ghosts.
Miranda: Neither do I, but they believe in me.
Miranda: Yeah, as a doctor, I understand why you think that. But something is really happening to me.
Chloe: You have no idea how it feels not to be trusted.
Miranda: You've got to trust me too, Chloe.
Chloe: You can't trust someone who thinks you're crazy.
Miranda: I want to talk to my husband. Where is he? Where is he?
Chloe: Are you scared?
Miranda: ...No.
Chloe: You should be.
Phil Parsons: Miranda, I... I... I wouldn't look for a real-world explanation. It's a dream, a delusion.
Miranda: A delusion that we both seem to share.
Miranda: Logic is overrated.
Answer: Plain and simple, it's bad script writing and there's a number of other examples of "that wouldn't happen in the real world" that unfortunately we're suppose to accept. Although, if one had to justify it, you could say; when Miranda was in the hospital, she had not been tried and convicted yet, so when her trial did occur, Miranda's lawyers did not use the "I was possessed" defense and was found not guilty because of reasonable doubt. Or the DA's office made a deal with her because she was a high standing member in the community who exposed a number of issues and may have gotten parole instead of jail time. And Chloe was Miranda's patient before she herself was admitted to the psychiatric ward. At that time, Miranda never believed Chloe was anything but delusional and after spending time in the hospital as an inmate, she believed her and once she was free, she worked on getting Chloe released by stating she was not insane.
