However it appears to be purely cosmetic, as he is still as deranged as he was in the previous series. Anti-Villain: Frances Drummond. When Catherine finds out Ryan's new tutor is someone who's been visiting Tommy Lee Royce in prison, she surprisingly doesn't flip out. Instead, she notifies the police of her fraud ( she'd been impersonating her dead sister), and goes to her house while she's under house arrest just to ask her why she did it.
