Then of course, she meets her best friend who is extra, extra special in superhuman ways. And I think the gesture of taking the pill was about -- I think for Trish, part of her shadow personality is that there's a certain covetous part of her. I think she covets some of the things that Jessica has. I think there is an unholy ambition that sits just under the surface.
She declares it in the show. Jessica says, "What else could you possibly want Trish?" And Trish says, "Well, to save the world, of course." Which is kind of a very unusual thing for a character to say. I do think there's a part of her that would love to make it right in the way that she thinks Jessica could make it right if she was just to overcome her dysfunctions and put down the bottle.
