Elena’s revenge begins. Commissioner Howard Grange dies in a grotesque accident at his home, convinced he was pushed by an unseen hand. Elena narrates the event with surgical detail and relishes her power, yet her description contains details she could not possibly know. She flashes back to the media frenzy around her case, how she became a symbol overnight, and admits she started to forget where the real Elena ended and the public’s saint began. The revenge feels hollow, but she pushes forward.
