There's a lot of corruption in this case. If Terri lives, it will almost certainly be exposed. Only if she dies is there any hope of keeping it covered up, or at least 'contained'.
Excellent point. And I think the focal point of this corruption is the one who ordered her killed.
The Great High Omnipotent Unstoppable Lord Almighty George Greer (GHOULAGG)? Perhaps.
Though actually I think it's a partnership which extends out a bit further than that.
