The night of the marriage

Cathy Seduces Charles

On the night of her marriage to Adam, Cathy drugs Adam's tea with his own sleeping medicine. While Adam is in a deep sleep, she goes to Charles's room and seduces him. Charles, though suspicious, succumbs. This act of betrayal is the foundation of the twins' ambiguous paternity and deepens the Cain-and-Abel parallel between the brothers.
