As Frederik's health declines, he becomes convinced that Rosalinde is trying to poison him. His paranoia deepens with the arrival of Aisha, a nurse who moves in with them overnight, to take care of him. In a desperate act to ensure his survival, Frederik switches Rosalinde’s heart medication with harmless mints, leading to her untimely death.
