THE BITCHY BEST FRIEND

SYLVIA STEINEITZ is Grace’s BFF. A lawyer, a pushy mum and Queen Bee at Reardon school.

LINK TO VICTIM

SYLVIA hosts the fundraiser evening where Elena kisses Grace. Sylvia looks down on Elena and appears jealous that she is attracting so much attention from the Reardon dads.

CASE FOR PROSECUTION

IT TURNS out that Sylvia advised Jonathan when he lost his job, meaning she must also have known about the affair with Elena, information she didn’t pass to her best friend.

When quizzed about his infidelities, Jonathan admits to his lawyer that Elena was not the only one — there had been another. Was it Sylvia?

CASE FOR DEFENCE

SYLVIA might be a forceful character but if she’s in love with Jonathan then why would she murder his mistress but befriend his wife? VERDICT NOT guilty. It would be a very odd twist.
