Plot[]
After Melina died, Janice was one of the first people to have Melina's memories pumped into her mind by the Detragan. Like with the other attempts, the procedure seemed to have failed, at first, but when Oswald turned his back on the machine, Janice allowed the transfer to complete by burying her personality.
Janice wired up to the Detragan
voluntarily and letting Melina take control of her entire mind.
Melina used Janice's body throughout Eternal Diva, and she was also the one who had sent Layton the letter. At the end of the movie, she left Janice's body. Janice was later seen arriving at Layton's office after the credits.
