## Events Of Zorro Island

### Born To Kill

Alan became a suspect when Axelle and the player found his business card in the victim's coat pocket, which was recognized by frequent customer Rhea Del Prado. Dr Gilbert said that Alvin sometimes visited him for therapy sessions, and had been acting off because of the person he was seeing, of whom he would not disclose the name of. He then said that Alvin also got quite het up about his sister Andi's antics around the house.

Alan was spoken to again after Francesco analyzed the murder weapon and matched the serial number to him. Dr Gilbert said that the gun had been his, and that he had been the victim of a carjacking a few days prior to the murder, meaning that somebody had stolen his gun and probably used it to shoot Alvin with it. Axelle and the player then left.

Dr Gilbert was found innocent after dancer Zoe Leung was arrested for the murder, but he appeared afterwards when Rosa and the player asked him about working with Axelle's uncle Ramon Vasquez, which he denied repeatedly before kicking the pair out of his office in rage. Rosa and Rhea then discovered that he had also been working with Eli Lowe, who they were going to confront at a Zorro Zebras game the next day.

### No Eye In Team

Alan was flagged as a suspect after Rhea and the player found Eli's body in his box and Dr Gilbert burst in. He said that he was good friends with Eli, but didn't disclose that Eli had any enemies. He then excused himself to attend work so he could look after Grace during her tough time, asking the detectives if they wanted to tag along so they could question her about murder.

Alan was questioned again after Alita analyzed the note Eli sent to him, and deduced that Eli was angry at Dr Gilbert. Alan told Rhea and the player that Eli had been angry at him for speaking to the police about the hockey game and becoming a suspect in a murder investigation that would prompt detectives to look into him. Alan then left to see Grace.

Alan was found innocent after commentator Troy Price was arrested for the murder. Alan was spoken to again, however, as psychiatrist Daniel Edwards accompanied the player and Alita to interrogate him, and Dr Edwards found Gilbert as a gullible and easily manipulated person, and found his notebook in the victim's office, which was full of notes enthusing about tech expert Bonita Esquella, who he was attracted to. Bonita then seduced Gilbert to find out that he would be meeting Ramon Vasquez at Caribbean club Moonlit the next day.

### Crashing Into Motion

Dr Gilbert was flagged as a suspect after Rhea and the player discovered Ramon's phone, which had a GPS tracker leading to Dr Gilbert, who they arrested and took into custody. Upon informing him of Ramon's murder, Alan was quick to blame Axelle, which made Rhea angry. When asked if he had been on edge, Dr Gilbert said that Ramon had always been on edge since the events at the restaurant. He then made an inappropriate comment about Bonita, making Rhea slap him.

Dr Gilbert was spoken to again after Pedro found security footage proving that Dr Gilbert wanted out of the operation. Dr Gilbert told the team that had actually been trying to help them, by informing them that he and Ramon were meeting at Moonlit, and leaving Adora's weaponized fan at the club, and he had finally decided that he wanted out of the operation, but Ramon failed to listen to reason.

Alan was found to be innocent after Saskia Vasquez was arrested for the murder, but he was sentenced to 20 years in prison by Judge Delarosa for criminal conspiracy and the masterminding of CeCe Edwards's murder.

### Dead Smart

Following Adora Mandelio returning from Wellgrove Asylum in a shocked state, it was discovered that Dr. Gilbert had been released from prison and now working there.

## Murder Details

Dr. Gilbert was found electrocuted to death in the underground therapy room. Per his autopsy, Rosa commended the killer for using the perfect drug to knock someone out, doing it quite expertly, as she informed Axelle and the player that nobody except people trained extremely well in first aid can administer a drug like that so professionally, meaning the killer knew first aid.

Later on, Dr. Gilbert's badge was found in the bin in the therapy room, as Rosa, operating as the lab analyst while Pedro Garcia was a suspect, figured out that it had been pulled off with some force, finding yellowish fibres that resembled those that make up the standard lanyard, meaning the killer must've worn one when they were struggling with Dr. Gilbert.

## Relationship With Suspects

Dr. Gilbert had some clashing ideas with Madeleine Vorrhmann, as Madeleine wanted Wellgrove to be a place where people could leave their criminal habits behind, while Dr. Gilbert wanted to reintroduce them to society and subtly encourage them to kill again. Dr. Gilbert's prized patient was Sutton Foster, a recent arrival who had taken a shine to the doctor. However, Sutton overheard Dr. Gilbert calling him a "freak" in a conversation with a nurse, genuinely upsetting Sutton. Dr. Gilbert also treated Jacinta Harmer, who didn't like his methods since they brought up repressed memories, as he attempted to convince her she killed her mother consciously. Zoe Leung was another one of Dr. Gilbert's patients, as he liked to tease her for manipulating her into killing Alvin McGuinness, which led to Zoe attempting to kill Dr. Gilbert on several occasions. Finally, Dr. Gilbert was visited by Pedro Garcia, the team's lab analyst, as the pair argued over a case from years before in regards to a man who ended his life.

## Killer And Motives

Shockingly, the killer turned out to be Pedro.

Axelle was too stunned to speak as she and the player approached Pedro's lab, as he confessed instantly to the crime. He explained that what he hadn't told the team was that years earlier, Dr. Gilbert served as his father Alejandro's therapist, since his father dealt with bipolar disorder. Pedro then went on to say that after several sessions, it appeared that Alejandro was doing better, before Pedro came home one day to find that his father had killed himself with drugs prescribed to him by Dr. Gilbert. After hearing Dr. Gilbert had been released, Pedro rushed to the asylum to confront him, as Dr. Gilbert had actually forgotten who he was, causing Pedro to sedate him and tie him to the electric chair, turning it up to maximum voltage and electrocuting Dr. Gilbert to death. As Axelle finally regained her words, Pedro pulled out a gun and put it to his head, saying that he couldn't live having betrayed the thing he swore he'd serve: justice, as he whispered a prayer to God before pulling the trigger, killing himself and traumatising both Axelle and the player.
