The Last Laugh

Nachdem sich die beiden Brüder Richard und Chase versöhnt haben, kann Jacquelines Testament geöffnet werden. Niemand weiß, wie groß ihr Vermögen tatsächlich ist. Einen bitteren Nachgeschmack hat die Testamentsvollstreckung vor allem für Richard. Sein Anteil an der Erbschaft soll einem Kloster zufließen, wenn er nicht dauerhaft Frieden mit Chase schließt.

Julia enters prison where she meets up with a tough matron who has a personal vendetta against the Channings, while Angela works to get her sentence commuted. After making love, Melissa offers the Agretti harvest to Richard, which he eagerly accepts in order to keep it from Angela. In Jacqueline's will, she has left fifty million dollars to be split between Chase and his brother, but, only if after one year, Chase believes Richard to be trustworthy. This reveals the motive for Richard's brotherly actions. Jacqueline also leaves Angela a hotel suite key with instructions that Philip must accompany her there. Jacqueline has the last laugh when Angela finds an unmade bed with a note from Jacqueline stating that she and Philip made love at that very spot.
