Erin wakes to hear a tirade from Paula about how much she hates men. Paula reveals that she has drugged and had sex with a number of her patients and threatened them not to disclose the truth, because she would have them certified and put in a mental hospital, where they would be put on a lot of drugs, so they would not know what they were doing or saying, and she would claim their accusations were delusions.
