Death and Other Details episode 8: Why Cecilia wants to destroy the Colliers
The much-anticipated segment Death and Other Details episode 8, which served as a cliffhanger in the previous installment, was finally addressed in the second half of the episode. After Imogene called out Cecilia as Kira’s only witness to Collier Mills’ crimes, Cecilia had to reveal her story, which served as another shocker for everyone present in the dining hall.
Cecilia revealed that she was a worker once in the clothing industry in China, which Collier Mills eventually acquired. During that time, Cecilia met a man who was kind to her, and they fell in love. They later married each other and had a baby girl (Eleanor’s mother). As time flew by, the couple lived happily until Collier Mills introduced a new pigment, Captionem Blue.
The toxic pigment gravely affected all the workers' health, including Cecilia’s husband, who got bedridden and later died. Like many workers’ families, Lawrence bought their silence on this matter and effectively swept this incident under the rug.

However, with Alexandra bailing out, Cecilia and Kira lost civil support. Nevertheless, Cecilia continued the battle, and now she owns 51% of the Collier Mills.
