Carrie completely lost her mind.
sych ward once, and after stabbing Quentin, there was no way Laurel was going easy on her.]
She’d already escaped from a psych ward
In the end, it was only Carter’s desperate begging that convinced Laurel to lock Carrie in the attic of the Atlante mansion instead of turning her over to the cops. She had guards watching her 24/7 to make sure she couldn’t cause any more trouble.[]

All their drama and heartbreak was finally coming to a close.
In the end, nobody got what they wanted.
Jess, do you want to ro har
want to go back and see him?” Betty asked, concern in her eyes
She knew her best friend had loved Quentin deeply, and she knew how much Jessica had suffered because of him.
