Did Vera ever 'suggest' how *spoiler*
Dolores kill Joe? I know she sent her home early to murder Joe, but I was wondering if she had an idea of how she could do it and get away with it...

No; Vera only suggested that "accidents" sometimes happen.
Life can be arbitrary and comes without a warranty.
It's been 2 years, but I'll respond anyway.
I really think Vera helped Dolores plan on how to murder Joe even though we don't see it in the film. I say this b/c Vera seemed to genuinely care when Dolores tells her what's going on.
The "HAS HE *beep* HER YET?!" quote by Vera illustrates that.

There's no statute of limitations...all responses are appreciated at any time. :)
That makes sense. They certainly had a very unconventional love story, but which is really beautiful. I almost feel guilty that I ever thought Dolores pushed her down the stairs...
Haha, I know there are no statue of limitations on posts/replies, but I wasn't sure anyone would read or respond to my post.
I guess I was wrong ;-)
I felt bad about thinking Dolores was ever malicious towards Vera as well (even though that is what we are tricked into believing at the start)
It made me happy that Dolores & Vera were so close as it seemed all they had was each other. They were both widows and while Dolores' daughter never spoke to her, Vera was childless.

"I know she sent her home early to murder Joe"
Based on the flashback scene which shows what happened, she didn't murder him. She led him into a trap but she didn't exploit his trust to do it (which would have been murder), she exploited his criminally violent tendencies. Had he not been a violent criminal he couldn't have been led into a trap that way, because nothing she could have said would have made him chase her with the intent of inflicting bodily harm (again).
Anyone who gets killed while committing, or attempting to commit, a violent crime, had it coming.
No. She didn’t help. She knew but if it was discovered she could easily say she didn’t. Plausible deniability.
