was a goner!!

he may be, yet. Mommy Dearest certainly isn't above putting her thugs after him, I'll bet.

So, obviously Juliet’s best subject really is English, not math. She had a $10 million trust fund…and she went into this plot thinking she’d come out of it with $3.3 mil. Bird in the hand, I guess. That money is going to be controlled by her custodial parent, my guess is, Mommy, since Mommy knows about it and Daddy doesn’t…until Juliet is 18 and no longer a minor. (In the meantime, if she continues to live with Daddy, she can’t really spend much of the money, since she has to keep it secret from him, so I’m not really seeing how much good it does her.)

Now, we’ve learned Mommy was the one who had Tessa beaten and robbed, so that means Mommy has Tessa’s share, unbeknownst to Juliet. And as of last night’s ep, she’s also made off with Mr. C’s part of the loot. So…she has direct control of $6.6 million, and indirect control of the remaining $3.3, right? All of which WAS money that would have been legally Juliet’s, once she got to the ripe old age of 25.

(Another aside, I don’t think Andrew can dip into Juliet’s trust money, as Mommy so blithely suggested. That’s sort of the nature of a trust, that it’s held in reserve, legally, for the trustee. Duh, Juliet.

If I’m Mr. C., I think at this point the thing to do is get Juliet’s ear, somehow, and see if I can enlighten her about her mother. Once Juliet figures out (which obviously she’s not going to do without some help) that her mother had played her, and Tessa and Mr. C, all for her own ends, then she can possibly work with Mr. C to get the money back, somehow. I think maybe they need to let Andrew know what happened, too…and go from there. For the sake of plot, it might be a good thing if Tessa died from her injuries, which means eventually, Mommy Dearest can be nailed for murder, and not just fraud.
