𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿-𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲 Status: Deceased (died before current events) Relationship: Biological mother of Kaytlin and Julie Pierce First appearance (flashbacks or mentions): Season 3 – Origins episode Brief History: Susan was an emotionally fragile but well-intentioned woman. After the birth of her first daughter, Kaytlin, she suffered from severe postpartum depression. Her brother and sister-in-law—who were unable to have children—offered to raise the baby, and Susan, convinced she couldn't care for her, accepted. This decision is kept a family secret. Years later, when Julie was born, Susan tried to be a present mother, but the guilt over giving Kaytlin up never went away. She lived with that burden until her death, which deeply shaped Julie's character.
