Sharing a room with her sister was hard, but not they're sharing a body while trying to identify the killer.

Not only does she denounce him as her enemy, but she claims that the birthmark is a curse she engraved upon his face during one of the many past lives they shared together.

But even worse: her arch nemesis, Pam, is stranded there, too!
