Q Mansion: So it appears that the promo was deliberately misleading on who Martin was talking to. And some of you were right that Martin orchestrated all of this to get back at Tracy. Monica's will was forged (which I didn't doubt). And now he is blackmailing Ronnie to sell the house to Drew. But why? Martin does not even like Drew. There are more holes in this plot than Swiss cheese and there are two easy outs here for Ronnie and Martin if he wasn't drunk on revenge. Allow me to lay them out:
So, I get Martin's reason for revenge. But what is Ronnie's motivation for getting into this? "Tracy was mean to me so I will commit fraud and risk possibly going to jail"? That just doesn't cut it for me. Ronnie seems like an honest down-to-earth woman who seems to genuinely care for Monica's family. To go to this length after one conversation/confrontation with Tracy seems unbelievable to me.
A. Ronnie says she will sell to Drew but secretly sales to the Quartermaines instead. Let's say $2,000,000. I mean, we've been clubbed over the head with the fact that Michael has endless wealth. Ronnie and Martin could split that. She can then bounce. Martin could take his million and stick it in an offshore account and thus, his ex-wives will never know. Martin would then be wealthy again. He could dump Drew and secretly know that he pulled one over on Tracy.
This scenario could work, but Martin won't be satisfied with just the money. He wants to publicly humiliate Tracy. I also don't like him profiting from his crimes.
B. Ronnie sits the family down or maybe just Olivia and confesses partially. She says she will spill everything but only after she is paid handsomely and the Q jet is able to fly her to an undisclosed location. Once she is safely at her destination, she calls Olivia and tells her everything that Martin did.
I like this option. She should take Olivia and Ned into her confidence and confess.
C. Ronnie gets herself a lawyer, who barters a deal where she gets immunity or just a slap on the wrist in exchange for outing Martin.
This is the best option. That way, Ronnie comes out unscathed, and Martin pays and best of all, Drew doesn't get his mitts on the mansion.
When this comes out, I think Martin will lose Laura, and it will have been earned. And he just might end up losing his law license because Tracy will most assuredly report him to the bar association. Heck, he might even go to prison. It also bugged me because once again we have a man bullying a woman. I'm sick of it.
I am all for Martin losing his license.
Crimson: And this is why I do not like Michael and say that he behaves like his $hit don't stink! Why stick Jacinda with Nina where there will be conflict when he could easily have gotten her a job at the MC? He just thinks he's the smartest person in the room and he needs to be handed an "L". Now, I will burst out laughing if Jacinda stiffs Michael by taking Nina's money. She is a huge opportunist. I doubt it because that is Jacinda's arm in the promo, sliding the check across the table. She's wearing the blazer in the shown in the promo. I'm guessing she is letting Michael know. On a lighter note, Nina and Ava looked amazing today!
All of this. I am team Nina here.
Casa de Ashford: I don't want Jordan and Curtis to reunite anytime soon but I liked their conversation today.
I wish Jordan wasn't this pathetic. I have wanted this for so long? Seriously? Curtis is still the sanctimonious jerk he was during their marriage. He hasn't treated Portia any better than he did Jordan. What would be different this time? She can do better.
MC: So Jack is the director of the WSB and he needs his gf to help him with ideas on how to get Valentin to cooperate? Seriously? He's been doing this for years and he couldn't come up with this idea all on his own? Mmmmkay.
Right? As if moving Valentin closer to home wouldn't have occurred to him?
