Sandra exclaims that she lost her mind and became furious when the district attorney went on record claiming that Daniel Benoit was afflicted with Fragile X syndrome and had been a special needs child. She sought out his medical records to prove that it was false and then demanded that the DA retract the statement.

She says that if that had been the case, Chris and Nancy would have not only gotten him the best possible medical care but they also would have come out as advocates to the condition, rather than trying to hide it and inject him with steroids which was another false rumor that floated around claiming that Daniel's body had trackmarks.

Jericho finds it frustrating that Nancy has become somewhat lost in the shuffle of the story and points out what a great legacy she left in the wrestling business, and Sandra thanks him for saying that admitting that it's been a struggle for her to see her sister's memory fall by the wayside.
