idea!

Just thought of this today. When the teacher, Margaret Brenin (changed her last name), tells Kate that she knew about the bullying problem and so did the principal, Kate puts her on the stand. Margaret wants to do the right thing. But she fails to tell Kate that she's being let go after the school year is over. The prosecutor makes it look like the only reason she's helping Kate is to get back at the school for firing her. It also comes out that they were firing her because of her liberal views (it's a catholic school...very conservative) and that she was obviously bitter about it. After the Prosecutor's done with her, her statements lose all credibility. That's when Jeff looks for more evidence and finds it in the church books, with Margaret's help. All along they were blaming the principal for keeping the kids in the school, but they find that Father Crogan had all the control and made all the decisions, using the principal as a puppet.

Also, the conflict between Kate and Jeff occurs when Jeff pushes her to tell him about her sister, something she wants to keep suppressed. Kate was always the strong one and she believed her sister was weak, and she also believes Limits is weak too. She never forgave her sister for being weak and taking the pills, but in the end she realizes that it wasn't her sister's fault, just like it wasn't Limits' fault. They were both victims.
