Was Barbra some kind of mental patient who was talking about her mother, and Maura said how lucky she was even to have a mother? And now Maura thinks that Barbra cut of her hand because of her remark? I think everybody needs some help in processing reality.

There is no remark in the world so mean that cutting off one’s hand is an appropriate or likely response. And witnessing such a thing, or being told that one’s remark had caused such a thing, would be very traumatic. (And Maura’s clearly still upset.)

So Barbra owes Maura more of an apology than the other way around. Good luck getting it.
