Arabella wondered if it was Lucille's doing. The aphrodisiac drug was also added to Andrew's wine. But would Lucille do the same thing twice?
Even if Lucille was assured she was not deemed as the culprit in her previous plot, it was easy to tell that the same person was responsible if she tampered with the wine again.
