There was a scene where that happened, but she didn’t have powers. She was just an innocent girl.

Her rage summoned a demon when she was in the hospital and she accepted the offer of vengeance.

Okay. Is this something that would be more obvious if one has played the games? I always assumed that she had the power all along but it was only awoken and twisted toward evil by the traumas she experienced ( raped by the janitor and burned alive) I interpreted the demon as a dissociate sort of thing resulting from her experiences. I think one of the reasons I thought this was because, in spite of her clearly evil acts, she spared both her biological and adoptive mothers, which left me thinking that she was still capable of humanity even through her rage and revenge.

I'll probably rewatch tonight. We've been doing "Carnivale" but we can take a night off from that
