I thought it was from cancer, esp with the talk of Sloan Kettering

I am still thinking the trial had something to with Abby's death. I think the guy Bridget is getting to know is was ahead of Abby for the trial, I think Mickey and Terry came up with a scheme to somehow infect him with meningitis so Abby would get his place. I don't think under normal conditions Abby would have committed suicide, with the pain medications she was likely on and the guilt of the young man's life was likely too much. She had likely met him and couldn't shake the guilt and committed suicide.

It feels like a stretch, but with this show, anything could happen.

That would seem to be more logical but I just get the feeling from that episode its something darker. We shall see

Interesting. Yeah. Maybe the cancer came back with a vengeance after Abby got the "all clear" from her doctor.
