Leigheanna and Bridie are sitting at a table at Luna Bianca, an Italian restaurant, or this is what Leigheanna thinks. Probably the Italians wouldn't be very impressed by their overdressed salads and weird pizzas. (Anyway, why did Bridie give the place rave reviews when describing it to Leigheanna?) Plus, it doesn't even look like the owners have ever been to Italy in their lives.

The two girls are taking a look at the menu, hoping to find something inspiring, but, for now, their mind isn't fully set on food as they instead decided to meet mostly to plot secretly against Kaitlin.

Bridie: Thank you for coming. I'm glad that you decided to give me a second chance.

Leigheanna: Let me tell you honestly, I'm not exactly the kind of person who gives second chances. But you sounded sincere, so I just decided to let go of my resentment. After all, the one who caused all that mess is Kaitlin.

Bridie: Oh, thank God! I even started wondering whether you changed your mind, but luckily you didn't. Anyway, we're here to discuss the plan.

Leigheanna: Yeah, we are. Have you got any ideas?

Bridie: Not yet, but, from what I got to know about you, it seems as you're pretty vindicative when it comes to your aunt.

Leigheanna: I am, indeed. Anyway, is there anything more I should know? Has she done anything harmful before I came to town?

Bridie: Oh, well, I don't know if I should tell you...

Leigheanna: Just tell me!

Bridie: Wow. You're curious. Hehe... Anyway, I overheard her by chance once, talking at the phone. We were at the supermarket, she was looking for pasta or whatever... none of my business. Well, I heard her insulting Meara and Lindsay, saying shit such as "you're not worth being called my daughters!" and whatsoever.

Leigheanna: What the fuck!

Bridie: And that's not over yet. I have copies of several pictures of hers. My father and uncle brought them to me after having dinner with her and her occasional boyfriend.

Leigheanna: Isn't she divorced?

Bridie: What do you mean?

Leigheanna: Mom once told me she got a divorce from Uncle.

Bridie: Leigheanna, how can you be so oblivious about your aunt's love life? She divorced thrice!

Leigheanna: So, does that mean Mom and Dad lied to me?

Bridie: Probably yes.

Leigheanna: So, this means that Kaitlin lied to them and, as a result, they told you what they learnt from that liar!
