Feeling Very Sorry for E. VanWyck

I can't imagine what happens to Elizabeth VanWyck now that her mother is murdered and her husband is off to jail for the crime, probably never to be heard from again. The poor woman. Who is going to watch over her now?

Re: Feeling Very Sorry for E. VanWyck

That's a big house she lives in. Maybe her brother moves in? Or maybe she finally takes a bigger role in the operation of the family businesses (tech company and, if I remember hearing correctly, at least one newspaper) and ends up meeting someone else.

She sold up and moved in with me :relaxed:

Re: Feeling Very Sorry for E. VanWyck

There are two things here. One, I wouldn't feel too sorry for her money wise because she could sell that mansion they lived in, gadgets and all, and be set up for life.

But companionship would be a big issue. The company of the brother only goes so far But as previously mentioned, she is young enough to meet someone who would accept her (and her millions) as is. Either way, after getting over the huge grieving period she obviously will go through, I think she comes out fine.

My .02 cents worth.

Of course, the story sets up the idea that Harold "shelters" her and her mother thinks of her as very self-reliant (even if she keeps Harold's secrets from her). And between the two of them, her mother seems to be pretty right.

I'm not good at speculating. To me the ending of that episode was the most heart breaking moment of the whole series.
