I so appreciate your honesty, your love for your daughter, your own insight.
It sounds like your daughter does have a very special friend and I can understand your protective instinct. Having insight into the way we are the way we are, wanting exclusivity, is helpful. Has your daughter and her friend read The Friendships of Women?

It would be beautiful if there could be grace and they could all love each other well, but I know that even older women can struggle with that. I do think overcoming evil with good is often effective -- if your daughter can show the threatened girl love and kindness. These kind of relationship struggles do provide teaching opportunities for talking about our love relationship with the Lord and holding one another "loosely."

I pray for you for wisdom, for your daughter and her friend for love and grace toward the third girl, and for each other. Praying for you too!
