Cassandra gets partial ownership of the braincell every week or so

and Daniela steals the braincell when Cass and Bela are too busy arguing to notice.

I think Cassandra is smart enough that her and Bela have join custody of the braincell, honestly. Granted most of that smartness comes in the form on hunting/torture knowledge, but I'd say she's equally as smart as Bela. Just in different things. They switch off every week.

I don't know if I missed something, but you said a thing about him protecting Millie from something which ended up putting him in the hospital

heck happened?

OK SO

In the Rockstar!AU Millie's grandpa had a rival who was competing with him, and incredibly jealous of him and his band's success. The scene the two were in was incredibly dangerous for the average person, so it wasn't unusual for his rival to try and do stuff like injure him to postpone shows, and stuff like that.

Maurice was always well aware of how much his rival hated him, but remained unbothered by him, which made his rival hate him even more, holding a vendetta against his entire family as a result.

His rival was why Maurice was so nervous about Millie entering the rock scene, since he knew that he was still out there lurking, and already had to deal with him harassing Millie and her friends once.

This all comes to ahead one night, when Millie and Dylan are attacked in an alley on their way home from a gig. Their attacker is Maurice's old rival, who is petty enough to attack his granddaughter to get back at Maurice.

Sensing that something bad is about to happen, Maurice quickly finds the two and gets into a fight with his rival, ending in him getting shot.

Dylan calls the cops to scare his rival off, and an ambulance. Maurice is taken to the hospital, where they find several other injuries he sustained during the fight. He's supposed to be kept there until he's able to recover, which is coincidentally around the same time of the start of Millie's first tour. The thing is, he doesn't get better. His body is weakened, and the injuries soon prove to be much more than he can handle. It gets to a point where it would be cruel to keep him alive in his current state, and it's planned to take him off of life support that night.

That night before their first set on tour, Millie gets a call. It's from the hospital. When she answers, her grandfather simply asks her if she's about to go on before telling her that he's proud of her, and that he loves her and will miss her. Millie starts to ask what he means by that, but is cut off when she hears the steady flatline of a heart monitor on the other end. Realizing what has happened to her grandfather, Millie has an absolute breakdown.

Dylan thinks they should cancel, but after calming down the best she can Millie tells him that they should continue the tour, since Maurice wouldn't want her to back out now. When onstage Millie performs "lonely" in honor of her grandfather, breaking into tears at the end.
