But sometimes nice doesn't work. Sometimes people are worse than you could ever imagine. And Meredith has a secreta story Carly can hardly begin to believe, about a girl with no future and someone else's past, a vicious old lady who refuses to die, and a young life stolen. For Meredith is not Meredith at all.
