As you probably know by now, Beatrice LeSueur has been murdered.
Four different drugs have been found in her body and Scorpio (as well as
Jimmy Lee) suspects foul play. His suspects are the Quartermaines (3),
Lorena, Leo, Amanda Barrington, Sylvia, and even his wife Holly. Today
(Tuesday) we found out who actually gave Beatrice which drugs and why.
Lorena took some sleeping pills from Monica's medical bag and gave
one to her, Holly gave her one, and Edward gave her two (!). They all three
said they only wanted to make her drowsy so they could get the blackmail
items from her without having to pay. The combination (along with the
alcohol she had been drinking) killed her.
Amanda and Sylvia talked with Scorpio and Bert Ramsey, respectively and,
as per their plan, threw suspicion (of blackmail) at Leo and Lorena.
I think that the Scorpio's marriage is going to fall apart soon,
probably after this case is solved.
Frisco has found himself a mysterious girl who claims to be the
owner of a Ring in Frisco's possession. They are sure not letting us know
who she really is yet, but they've hinted that she's some type of royalty,
probably a princess of some isolated country. There definitely are two men
after the girl (and presumably the ring as well) and it appears as if they
are not planning on letting Frisco get away with his hiding her for much
longer--even to the extent of bodily harm ("after we have the girl in our
custody").
Ginny has been promoted from Teen Time host to news reporter on
the early and late news and Rick thinks she won't have enough time for
Michael. She has been replaces as host by none other than Frisco Jones.
Brock's daughter is breaking up his marriage (finally) because
she is spoiled and Bobbi won't stoop so low as to do one little thing
for her (wash clothes, pick up after her, etc.) although she said she'd be
more than happy to teach her how (she's never had to do anything like that
before). Yesterday the daughter broke the washing machine and when Brock
came home he told Bobbi to grow up and took his daughter out to eat (she
can't cook either. She also has a crush on Frisco.
