"She doesn't seem to violent," Mac told Pete upon seeing Elodie after her arrival.
"I think that's only because you're here," Pete answered. "She likes you."
Elodie looked up as Mac entered the room. "I understand you're been causing some trouble," he said. "Care to say anything about that?"
She shook her head.
"Pete told me you tried to kill yourself and that you're attacking everyone who tries to help you."
Elodie's eyes shifted to him for a moment. "They won't leave me alone," she said.
"They're not supposed to leave you alone. You're on suicide watch."
Elodie frowned at him. "Not them."
It was Mac's turn to frown. "Who then?"
"Aunt Ivy and the others," she said after several moments. "They won't shut up."
"She's been hearing voices, Pete," Mac said after he left the room. "I think she's been hearing them for a while."
"There seems to be mental instability on her mother's side," Pete said, not seeming surprised. "We've had Star in custody for the last three months and she shows all the markers for schizophrenia."
Mac frowned. "You never told me she was in custody. I was under the impression she died in the explosion."
"I thought I should keep the fact that she was still alive secret," Pete said. "She has enemies that could cause a lot of damage. Friends too."
"Out of all the voices she said she's been hearing, Star's not one of them. All of them are dead. The names I didn't recognize, she told me they were dead. They all seem to say the same thing: that they're dead because of her and she should die. They also tell her to kill people."
Elodie shut her eyes tightly. "Shut up, shut up, shut up," she murmured. "I won't kill him. I'm done killing people for you. I'm done killing." Tears began to stream down her cheeks as the door opened again.
MacGyver crouched down in front of her. "The doctors want to put you on a medication to stop the voices."
Elodie looked up at him with a frown. "They won't stop," she said.
"The medication is supposed to stop them," he told her.
She looked at him doubtfully.
"Do you know anything about schizophrenia?" he asked.
Elodie shook her head. "I only learned what Aunt Ivy wanted me to know."
"I think it's time for you to start learning all the things she didn't want you to learn. Try the medication, ok? Try it for me."
