She has a discussion with Ethan whom says that because there was a death and a sentence of custodial is likely, and this is a source of anxiety for Nicola and is the reason she has an extremely bizarre idea possibly using the illness of Cathy to force Cathy accept the responsibility and implying that Cathy was able to manipulate Angel into confessing, but actually, she didn’t take the blame’, Nicola Wheeler explained, discussing what would happen next.
‘While this all goes along, there’s still someone who must deal with the fact that they’ve accidentally caused the death of their companion.
And none of this is getting addressed right now because people are so focused about what the penalty could be.’
