I think that Lindsey didn't even bother with "them" instead of "her" for Ruby's parents, because of all the fan speculation, and that fact that we're probably right (Or, at least, close to being correct).

Part of me kind of hopes that Monty made Lindsey say "her" just to throw us off, though. I could certianly see them doing that.
