I would hope so. Her nonchalant mention of cutting herself just a few months before (seemingly after returning for her sophomore year at Cornell) indicates an attention-seeking troubled young woman.
I didn't even have certain things available to me in college, didn't even exist yet. But no way I'm losing my wallet and going out anywhere without some financial resources. If her sisterhood didn't have her back, surely her parents should. And Mom got involved some weeks later at the ER, and they wanted their tuition back, but her PhD in Clinical Psychology life-coach mother wasn't very in the loop about her own daughter.
... or perhaps this is just another in a string of "episodes" Lucy has found herself in and Mommy and Daddy had BTDT with the crying wolf before??
I'm going to go so far as to speculate that she didn't initially tell her parents, and perhaps her "big sister" (who called it rape in early texts denying the events) informed them that they might want to intervene in their daughter's self-destructive behavior.
Staying tuned.
