I thought it had something to do with what happened to her at the boarding school she was sent to and the had some type of trauma caused by a teacher there, which is why she was brought home, though they didn't know until later when it's implied that the teacher is let go and they announce a student is in the hospital. Esme here's the news and has a feeling of vindication or something like that. Everything she had said was shown to be reality.
