Ringer- P.S You're an Idiot

"Your having twins..."

Ringer is slowly turning up the heat... and I like it. After what seemed to be like a badly plotted cry for attention from Juliet we learn that her mother was actually the mastermind behind a pathetic money sucking scheme. Suddenly Juliet's becomes the victim that got tangled up in some divorced parent drama. Her mother planned everything in order to take money from the father... everyone else involved was collateral damage. She pretended to have a relationship with the teacher only to steal the $3 million dollars he made executing her plot and threatening him with a video exposing him as a con-artist that took advantage of his rich student. When Tessa was close to exposing them, she took care of it by literally putting the girl in a-coma and stealing her money. Basically everyone got played and ended up broke in the end while Catherine walked away filthy rich.  Classy... A role model mother for sure. It won't be long before Juliet caves and tells her father about the fraud. She's going to see that he is having money issues and that his firm is getting run to the ground and than what?


But seems like Catherine isn't the only deceptive person in this town. Sadly, we see a separation of upper and lower class and their priorities. Although Malcolm and Bridget are living the good life now, they used to be poor addicts. Yet they were still honest people compared to the filthy rich liars and criminals in Siobhan's life. Andrew, a decent all around family guy, has been running a ponzi scheme and no, no matter how much we want to believe it was Olivia's doing, the idea was all Andrew's.  We encounter people and we realize that using drugs is just as bad as using people in order to get rich. The only difference is that with drugs your hurting yourself mostly but when your involved in fraud and all that, your hurting everyone else in order to enrich your own life. Thats also made very clear as Bridget places and the pieces of the puzzle together and Andrew finally tells her the truth. You can see that although she has hit the lowest of lows in her previous life, dealing with someone like Andrew is not something she will tolerate. Money ruins people. Its better to be poor and happy than rich and messed up. 

Now that Henry is onto Bridget how long will it be before everyone else figures it out?  Will Bridget come clean to escape the wrath of Andrew and Olivia, who from next weeks previews, are clearly willing to go to any extreme to keep "Siobhan" from exposing them. And what will the real Siobhan do. After planning a perfect life with Henry she finds out that she's pregnant with twins... Andrews twins. Will she come back from the dead and tell Andrew the truth or will she stick by Henry's side. With everyone meddling in everyones business its only a matter of time till all the secrets are exposed. Personally, I am still irked by the fact that I don't fully understand Siobhan's agenda. She is hiding away in Paris because she wants to ruin Martin and Charles and get money from Andrew (seems like his wives have that in common) but by giving all that information to Bridget she kind of shot herself in the toe. And going back to episode one, who was the guy that wanted to kill Bridget... Did we forget about him? Are we suppose to ignore that her own sister might have wanted to kill her? 

Whatever the case might be, truth or lie, Bridget seems to make the whole family and relationship with Andrew and Juliet work much better than Siobhan ever could. And while we are so vested in the corrupt schemes of the Manhattan socialites are we suppose to forget about Macawi trying to find Bridget? I'm sure his people have realized she has a twin and from my interpretation of people that want revenge, if you can't find the person your looking for don't you start going after the family? It would be nice to see that story line incorporated once again.
