that everything will finally return to normal but a few minutes later Charlie runs out of the house screaming for help it turns out that Gemma is dead Martin is convinced that rat poison is to blame but the detective claims that she died of Suffocation strangled with a piece of bread the baker believes that he is to blame for what happened and tells Charlie about at the funeral but he blames himself because when he came home he found Patrick and Gemma in a strange position and started a fight instead of helping his wife every man blames
