We spotlight her complex relationship with David Miscavige and the involvement of high-profile figures such as Tom Cruise and Shelly Miscavige. On top of that, we discuss the controversy surrounding Gail's daughter, Emily Armstrong, the new lead singer of Linkin Park, and what her mother's high-ranking position in the Sea Organization might mean for her.

Discover the chaos and sabotage that threatened to derail Scientology's Maiden Voyage event.
