I gotta say, I'm kinda disappointed by this, but also intrigued.

For one, it would have been way too stereotypical for a secret complex conspiracy to be at play, but it just seems Alice's transformation is the result of no-holds bar grudge against her family despite knowing they were there and that their lives were being threaten.

However, having Alice's backstory be so "simple" means this is much more of a personal revenge tale than anything else.

But I also think this is going to be a struggle for the soul of Beth. It's not going to be easy and there would require a cost for her to be redeemed (if that happens).

Which is going to prove stronger, the years of torture/isolation/madness or the connection of family.
