So, I just finished Episode 23 on my solo Monica run, and I have some (probably not very insightful) comments.
Since we haven't had the final meeting about the will/trust, we still don't KNOW whether Bella or Elaine is telling the truth, or even if neither is telling the truth. I have my opinion, of course, that Elaine is being truthful and that Bella is lying, but I don't KNOW..
As I have said, I'm on the solo Monica path, so obviously I don't care who gets the money. Assumption #1: Elaine is being totally truthful. Assumption #2: Bella has, as a condition for half her money, a need to reside in the beach house (Elaine needs the house, Bella needs the beach house). As I understand the will conditions, if I fail my condition completely, Elaine fails part 2 of her condition, and Bella fails part 2 of her conditions, the $15M gets split 3 ways. $7.5M to dog shelters, and $3.75M to each of Elaine and Bella. This is based on my recollection that if one person fails completely their share gets split by the other 2, then since each of the other 2 fail part of their conditions their failure costs them half of what they would have gotten.
There seem to be a number of people upset that Elaine/Bella/Jo have been keeping important information from the MC, while the MC keeps important information from them. I'm calling out anyone who is fucking more than one of the ladies and not being up front about it to all of the ladies involved. In my opinion, this is the worst kind of two-facedness there is. Note: I have no real knowledge as to whether the upset people are, in fact, screwing more than one lady, just totally assuming here.
I will try a solo Jenna and solo Katie run once it is all settled, but I can't see taking the money as a viable option for my MC.
