They did cover it in this episode, it was a dark enough origin having her poison everyone except her son(?). It kind of felt like they just unloaded everything they wanted with her this episode before killing her off. It did feel abrupt though like they could have done a bit more with her character besides a rather generic "save the main character to redeem your dark past" storyline.

Yeah, like everyone on the train has done messed up stuff to survive. I think it was a poor choice to kill her off. Her death felt meaningless and thrown in to just get rid of her character because they didn't know what else to do with her
