1979 (#14) - Suzanne's revenge, Katherine's hospitalization and the fire at the institute

The reconnection between Jill and Derek is certainly not what Suzanne was hoping for. The confession made to Derek, which caused the woman's pact with Katherine to be broken, was of course not only a selfless act of kindness and duty on Suzanne's part, but she was hoping to see a new feeling arise from her relationship with her ex-husband. But Derek, as mentioned, immediately went looking for Jill, even though Suzanne wouldn't give up. Convinced that she was still capable of making Derek fall in love with her, Suzanne began to think about solving the main obstacle to her union with the man, Katherine. While it's true that Derek believes his marriage is over, Suzanne also knows that if Derek asks for a divorce he won't get anything from the woman. Suzanne then convinces herself that the only way to stay with her ex-husband and get great financial benefits is to permanently remove Katherine from their lives. So Suzanne starts drugging Katherine, unaware that it was Suzanne who informed Derek of the truth about her recovery, with candies mixed with very powerful drugs and medicines. Katherine soon begins to behave abnormally and Derek, worried, on Suzanne's own advice, takes the Katherine to a centre for drug addicts. Here the doctors inform Derek that it will probably take years before Katherine can hope to come to her senses; this is also because Suzanne, during her visits, keeps bringing her special candies, which prevent Katherine from getting better. During Katherine's absence, meanwhile, Suzanne begins to successfully seduce Derek, who soon gets carried away by the woman, setting aside his plans to return with Jill. Meanwhile, Katherine begins to reflect on what has happened recently and begins to suspect Suzanne; realizing that the woman was poisoning her, Katherine stops taking the candy, giving it to another patient who shared the room with her, Daniel Branson, for the sole purpose of verifying its effect. Soon Daniel began to experience the same symptoms as the her and went crazy. One night, he lights a fire in the institute, burning himself to death. Katherine, then, realizes that she has a chance to escape and to be considered dead: by putting her wedding ring into the burnt and unrecognizable body of the man, in fact, everyone suspects that she is the victim of the fire.
