So ... What is going on .... I don't understand any more...

Linus is part of that secret organization that say that creepy phrase the orphan children told Connie. He was using Therese as a means to take her husbands place, but he never loved her, he just loved that he could manipulate her. I think this group might see Connie as a threat like they did with Scarlet and Lily. But who knows, they story just started... I was confused as well until I remembered that fight between those noble ladies and Therese got slashed in the face with a bottle by Margot.
Why their guardian is not with them...
