Manipulative Wendi and her deeply devious family.
Knowing what we know now ( the new evidence which has been released ) IMO the old jail calls become more interesting.
This is 8th Nov jail call - day 2 after CA's conviction and the first time W has seen her parents since the catastrophic news ( It's one day after Donna has started trying to arrange visas to Nam)
For example this one for me - JMO - shows for example
- how Wendi manipulates Donna to keep her on side after Donna blew up and sent those risky messages to Wendi. Wendi has now talked mom off the ledge and Donna bought it! ( Wendi seeks to do the same with Charlie, using her lawyer's advice as cover for her uncaring silence)
- seems to confirm how she's brainwashed/lied to the kids about the crime ( and control! won't allow a conversation between them & CA for at least a week. They might blurt something out right, a period of high emotion? Risky. Got to maintain the Big Lie. )
- her determination not to appear on any call logs ( Uses the boyfriend used as the go -between, and uses speaker phone function so she can hear & reply to Mom. Also IMO, the boyfriend didn't know they were off to Vietnam. They kept it from him. He can stay in the condo or lobby or she cannot bring him along)
- hints at how she plans to arrange to speak to Charlie but without having the content monitored ( My guess is via a 3-way ' conference call' via a 'dirty' lawyer - against jail rules & IMO this was the plan for future DA - CA chats once in Vietnam)
- wondering whether CA ruminated on this call later? The fact that she wouldn't even be in the same room while his mom spoke to him. He's not totally stupid, he must've realised that she didn't need to go that far - a separate room
- Harvey smart cookie.' No details!' ( OK you can tell Annie C we're leaving but repeats warning not to give Annie the details of their escape. Fast forward 5 days later to the airport bodycams where he's acting as if it was just an innocent travel plan)
all that just in the first seven minutes of the jail call! I haven't got any further with it.
anyway, I do think Charlie & Wendi will have spoken by now. she needs that, too risky otherwise, can't afford for him to flip. Will she be successful on that score? Only time will tell.
