I didn't incorporate it here - here's not the kind of piece to highlight it - but I think I saw the defining moment for Sylvia, at least her dark side, in Turn Left: When Donna repeats to Sylvia all Sylvia's complaints, in a transparent bid for parental approval if only in admitting Sylvia was right all along, and Sylvia only offers a monosyllabic agreement. I think what we see in Sylvia that moment is a depression profound enough to indicate the possibility of a clinical condition. If Sylvia is a borderline depressive, that might explain much.
