Catherine was plagued by nightmares and experienced bouts of amnesia. There were times when she woke up screaming in the middle of the night and did not even recognize Christian. Christian did his best to provide physical and emotional support to Catherine, although he too struggled with the fact that he could not recognize his own sister after being apart for over a year.

Despite being in exile in Switzerland like Coco, Elsa showed up unannounced, seeking financial assistance.

Feeling owed money by Coco, Elsa persisted in demanding payment, even though Coco had nothing to offer, even if she had been willing to do so.
