Her plan was to use Huey as a sperm factory so that she could have a child to brainwash with The Boss's memes. This wasn't far from what the Patriot AIs would later do when they created the S3 program, which attempted to shape the lives of others through memes. Which is ironic, because Strangelove was going to work on the AIs herself before her demise. Except we don't even know the full circumstances that led up to that sentiment, especially when those very sentiments were communicated during her dying moments already AFTER Huey left her to die. Besides, it's not so much about Huey "going bad" that's the problem, it's the forced writing that went behind it. Wasn't it clear in Peace Walker that Strangelove wasn't interested in men? I didn't actually play Peace Walker, I'm going by what the Wikia entries state. If it's true that Strangelove was a lesbian, then it lends weight to the notion she was using Huey for her own ends. A lesbian is someone who can't love a man the way they love women, like the way Strangelove loved The Boss. Their relationship was never going to work in a healthy way.

What happened to Strangelove has happened to a lot of women who chose to stay in an unhealthy relationship. Spouses threatening to take the children away is the kind of that triggers an emotional meltdown, which can then turn violent. Add to that Huey clearly suffered from some kind of inferiority complex. The script works in that regard. Where it fails, as in many cases with MGSV, is not showing us these pivotal scenes. Kojima focused the cutscenes on a mute body double, instead of giving previous characters one last moment to shine in the FOX engine. The only one who had that moment was Kaz Miller.
