The Illness

Something is wrong with Steve. Conflicting diagnoses. Tara moves in to take care of him. The symptoms don't match any single explanation. Neither does her attentiveness.

Four Discoveries

The four poisoning discoveries placed side by side. Lithium in March 2017 — six times normal, no prescription. The Brooklyn night — dissociation, tampered medication, no sample preserved. Abby Tedla's confession — 'she did it all the time.' The Reno bottle — mycophenolic acid at seven times the upper bound, in wine that had been sitting on a shelf for years. What looked like separate incidents becomes a single line drawn across four years and four substances.
