Re: done for "She looks like she's been through the washer and dryer" means she looks disheveled, haggard, unkempt. "She's done for" means she's finished - there's nowhere left for her to go, nothing left for her to do. There's no hope for her.
(I've heard that she and Bobby are getting divorced; maybe she'll straighten her life out after all.
)
