Was Isabelle trying to kill Matthew and Théo? (spoilers)

When her parents came home, and she grabbed the gas hose to try and commit suicide, do you think her intent was to kill Matthew and Théo too? Or just herself?

I don't even know why she would kill herself to begin with. She must have been very humiliated when her parents saw them.

Yes, the idea was to kill all of them. Remember ealier in the film she reveals that she would kill Théo and herself, if their parents found out about their "relationship".
I think the consequences it might have to Théo and her would be too hard for her to swallow, and that's why she thought it would be the only escape.

that'll be the day
