Shit, now I noticed the black ring that he wears on his ring finger. A black ring worn on any finger other than the middle one symoblizes that the wear is a swinger and is open to being approached for such things. Which would explain why would Burke smirk when he watches the video.

If he wore it on the middle finger it would have been weird, because that means that the wear is asexual and isn't interested like at all being approached for sex.
Is that a US thing? I've never head of it before.

Probably, but my college roommate bought himself a black ring and used to wear it on his thumb like all the time until an exchange student girl pointed out the meaning of the black ring to him and he stopped wearing it since.

Admittedly, I didn't know the meaning of it as well until that girl told us the meaning of it.

Being a drug dealer and a pimp is not a very good quality.
Everyone deals with their shit however they can... she found this was the best way... whether or not it's a good way I don't think there can be an argument about it but your question was is she redeemable... decide it for yourself ! By the way... how many here did stupid fucking shits early on in their life ??? Are any of those ( including me ) redeemable ? :unsure:

I'm thinking he was smiling because he didn't form a prenup with Jade and this may have been his way out of the marriage without losing half his assets.

We know he didn't sign a prenup with Jade as she brings that up when the mc was fucking her while she was arguing with Burke through the door.

Jade: "No! If you get the screwdriver, you can bring the divorce papers with it!"​
Burke: "Will you stop threatening me with that! We're not getting divorced!"​
Jade: "Only because you were stupid to not get a prenup, you jackass!"​

That exchange tells us that Burke brought the money into the marriage. So not getting a prenup contract means if they divorce she'll get half.

Now while it's no longer relevant in some US states, there are other states where you can file for a "Fault Divorce" which can lead to a reduction in the distribution of the marital property to the party that was at fault (depending on the state).

Now sure, we and Jade know Burke's also been unfaithful, he even admitted it to her, but she has no proof. But he does have proof.

So the next time she threatens for divorce, he'll be like:

Burke: "Sure bitch, let's get the papers now."​
Jade: "I'll take half you know, you wouldn't dare!"​
Burke: "This video of you screwing Fuckface says otherwise!"​
Jade: ":eek:!"​

So he's basically got her over a barrel. :cry:
The "no prenup" situation may be another one that DPC didn't do research. My impression is that Burke is born rich rather than self-made rich. This is consistent with his full-time position as a professor/administrator at a university - they don't pay that well. Also, in one scene Jade says she had to earn her professorship and Burke just gets an honorary title automatically, further suggesting he got it because he was rich before joining the university.

In real life, premarital assets (i.e., things you own before marriage) generally don't get split in a divorce (for the relevant states like NY, NJ, etc.). In particular, if you just earn a salary and have a wife that is also earning a salary, you don't lose that much. It's still a pain but it's not losing half of "your" assets. Of course, their condo is the big-ticket item and that's likely something they bought together after getting married.

Sadly I am something of an expert in this area.
No fault states for 2 divorces.
Prenups in place.
In fact spouse got half of what I brought in both times, and I got half of what they brought in.
My half was significantly larger in both cases. One was a lawyer, who was just starting out, one was a med student.
When we divorced in both cases, it was during the aftermath of children (thus they were in their not fully dedicated to their respective fields mode) and while they were both on the upswing following childbirth, I was still in the more asset rich position.

I lost 2 houses and significant portions of my portfolio in both.

I should have fucking assassinated my lawyer but he was my college room mate lol!
Peace

Is this shot supposed to signify that someone was watching them from outside the tarp/window? This is a very weird angle that DPC never uses otherwise.

He has done it several times, I don't think it means anything tbh, unless James turns out to be freaking spider-man.
I think it's just DPC fucking with us.

Yep, pretty much got the same feeling when saw it first time. Since there is someone was shown sneaking outside MC's room later, I wouldn't be surprised if this shit hit the fan in future episodes.
