Beth once again has been thrown to the bottom of the list. Sandra needed some time especially seeing as she hasn't had any content since 0.3 which is a long time for her to left alone. Beth however has had content since releases far past 0.3.
I am just hoping that Amy is the true center of this update with Sandra being some of the side content. Though something tells me Amy's chain won't be complete in this one either.
Phah! :closedtongue: Everyone knows Beth is nothing more than a vapor-locked trophy girlfriend with no future outside of some social wanna-be's sex toy: or so they think...
Actually, Beth was directed to seduce Tom by Liz, who manipulated her by leveraging Daisy's forced relationship with Christian to pit Christian and Tom against each other over Daisy thereby locking Beth completely out of the trophy boyfriend social scene. By becoming Tom's trophy girlfriend, she cemented them as the rival couple who has to share the top of the high school social battleground.
Why does Liz even care? Because manipulating Beth is just the first step in what Amy demanded of Liz in exchange for Amy's future cooperation. Beth and her mother were the social elites before Daisy's stepfather became Mayor. Amy intended to stand tall socially from Middle School to High School but Maria's problems at Otter Labs damaged her socially, and Beth and her mother ostracized them from society since they now had to share that spotlight with Daisy's family and, worst of all, her mother. That's when Amy hatched her plan to marry her mother off to a powerful mafioso and use his resources to destroy Beth and her mother, but Jack turned out to be less powerful, more stubborn, unacceptably perverted in his assumption that he could seduce her, and (worst of all) consigned her to the social death that is the Old Quarter. That's why she made this deal to help Liz in exchange for:
- Pressuring Beth into becoming a trophy girlfriend to Tom thereby annoying Christian since he now has to share top-dog social honors with Tom, and making Warren's grandson dangerously frustrated works in Liz's favor.
- Wait for the inevitable seduction of Tom by Beth's mother ("Everyone knows she is such a whore!" -- Amy & Liz).
- Use someone, like Liz's genius resourceful actual MC son, to get proof of Tom's affair with Beth's mom.
- Then, either blackmail them privately and/or destroy them publicly. Either suits Amy's revenge and Liz gets Amy's cooperation.
I know, I know... It's all a little over-obvious and single-tracked, but life is just like that sometimes and Beth is really just a throw away extra NPC who only exists to further the plot development of Amy, Liz, and the MC; so it really isn't terribly important. :evilsmile:
