Lilly Laemie

Lilly Laemie is the secondary antagonist in Parents

Biography
Lilly is the wife of Nick Laemle. Nick practices homicidal cannibalism (a trait he picked up from his parents), and he introduced this practice to Lilly, who developed a taste for human meat. They had a son named Michael, whom they eventually planned to mold into a cannibal as well. During the events of the film, Michael begins to suspect that they are cannibals, eventually uncovering the truth. The day that Michael brings his school councilor home with him and they discover the truth, Nick murders the councilor and cooks her to feed her to Michael. Nick and Lilly sit Michael down and explain that he will acquire a taste for human meat, with Nick stating that Lilly did, with her chiming in "I learned to love it!" Michael refuses to eat the meat and stabs his father with a fork, enraging Nick, who tries to kill Michael. Lilly tries to convince Nick to not kill Michael, but Nick refuses. Lilly grabs a knife and stabs Nick to save Michael. However, while Lilly is shocked over stabbing her husband, Nick grabs her knife and turns it back on her, killing her.

Personality
Lilly was a mentally ill woman who grew to accept her husbands cannibalistic and murderous lifestyle, even partaking in cannibalism herself, though there is no indication she took part in any murder. She did ultimately love her son Michael though, and gave her life to protect him.
