Diane’s Game of Seduction and Deception
Diane (Susan Walters) has a plan to knock Dr. Markham (Jere Burns) out with sleeping pills. She had to act quickly. So, she came up with a flirtatious scheme, suggesting that she’s developing feelings for him.
Diane isn’t just passively playing along. She successfully swiped Dr. Markham’s phone and laid the groundwork for a possible escape. She even suggested cooking a nice meal for him so she could drug his food with sleeping pills.
On Wednesday’s episode, Diane felt that her plan was falling into place. Dr. Markham admitted that she looked good. Then, he realized that he should compliment himself for choosing her outfit.
Diane said she was impressed with his kitchen. She assured him that she would plan a delicious meal. Dr. Markham informed Diane that her sedatives had arrived, and he had them in his suit pocket.
The Dangers Behind Diane’s Scheme
The stakes are already incredibly high. Diane has no idea that Jack (Peter Bergman) has a trap in place as well. This put a kink into her plans involving Dr. Markham.
Jack stole Patty’s (Stacy Haiduk) and broke into it, discovering that the password is “Kitty.” Pretending to be Patty, Jack urgently texted Dr. Markham, luring him away from his home.
Dr. Markham realized he had received a text from Patty. He told Diane that he would have to revisit their dinner later. Diane assumed that her plan had been foiled.
But she’s still moving forward with drugging Dr. Markham. She hopes he will return soon to enjoy the delicious meal she has already prepared for him.
Meanwhile, Kyle (Michael Mealor) is closing in on Dr. Markham’s home. He’s hoping to break in so he can save his mom and bring her back home. Will Diane’s game of seduction change everything?
