"I know she believes that Mum's death was not because of suicide," Elsa said to Alex.

Alex nodded, agreeing with her. "She did. That's what she was investigating."

"Investigating? How? By being friends with Victoria? And does this have anything to do with marrying Jeremy?" Alex leaned closer to Elsa so she could hear her clearly over the loud music.

"Elsa, Gwen befriended Victoria to get closer to the family, mostly Esther. She suspected Esther had something to do with Jenna's death and made it look like suicide," Alex explained. Elsa was still confused by this theory.

"But Mum committed suicide. She was found with a rope tied around her neck, hanging from a hook on the ceiling. She hanged herself," Elsa said, trying to stop her brain from imagining that image.

"She did, but a drug was found in her body that could have caused it," Alex replied.

"What drug?"

"According to the reports, she was suffering from illusions and one day it became too much for her, so she took her own life. But sodium pentothal was found in her system. Gwen was suspicious because it wasn't in her prescription. They said it was no big deal, that she could have been given the drug because it's a psychotic drug."

"A psychotic drug," Elsa repeated, tasting the words.

"Was there something about that drug that made Gwen suspicious?"

"Yes, there was. It's a psychotic drug, yes. And sometimes it's used as an anesthetic. But it's also used for hypnosis because it opens your mind to suggestions without question. Jenna was taking pills that had sodium pentothal. For people on the edge, like Jenna, it would break down their emotional defenses. They would be willing to do anything they were told, even take their own lives."

"Oh my god!" Elsa exclaimed. "Could that be what happened to Mum?"

"Gwen believed so. That's why she applied to work at the hospital. But she didn't get to do much investigation before things started going south."

"What do you mean?"

"Esther found out who Gwen's mother was. She and Victoria started threatening her. They didn't want her investigating their family, probably because they had something to hide. And that's when Jeremy Callahan came in."

Elsa was confused. "Could you explain that?"

"Sure. You see, Jeremy is untouchable. Nobody goes against him. Victoria marrying Jeremy would have helped ensure her mother got away with what she did."

"Wait, there's something important I haven't told you," Alex interrupted. "Gwen found out through her investigation that despite the hospital refusing to let you both visit her, Jenna had another visitor. Well, two visitors, but one came more often than the other. And this visitor eventually started working there as a nurse."
