So yet another mystery, which could be seen a mile away, was opened up this week. Are all of Tripp’s kids really his?

Letitia finally confessed her 40 year affair with Dutch to Tripp. Tripp asked if all the kids where his, she quickly answered yes. Seems he didn’t believe her and had some DNA tests run.

Nick and his wife headed to Italy on “business.” They were going to see a spy that his dad employed from time to time to find out what was going on with Nick’s dad and why he had a file on Simon Elder. He also had several meetings with someone marked in his calender book only as “C.” Of course they thought this would be some romantic time alone . . . . but then Karen and her Tennis star fiance decided to hijack their weekend trip and tag along.

In Italy Nick learned that his dad not only had a file on Simon compiled, but wanted info on Tripp as well! It also seems his dad was working for a third party . . . the mysterious C? Things aren’t looking good and it seems Dutch may have been a naughty boy.

Also in Italy a drunk and ever in love with Nick Karen told Nick’s wife that when they were 19 and in Italy with the family, Nick proposed to her. Nick’s wife wasn’t thrilled to learn this, and later told Karen to stay the hell away from her and her family. Yes! I don’t understand why Karen’s fiance puts up with her. He must be after the money and the attention he gets being involved with her.

Back in New York, Brian continued to try and keep the truth about Gustaf the Swedish Orphan from his wife, but it’s becoming more and more difficult. I think she already knows he’s had an affair and this is his kid, she’s just waiting for him to say it. I mean she can’t be that stupid? During a family dinner Brian was asked why he went into the church? Brian said he didn’t feel he fit in anywhere else, he didn’t like business, politics and wasn’t able to live the life of a media “Darling.” Hmmmmm . . . .

Finally the storyline I have no real interest in, the Darling twins Jeremy and Juliet. Jeremy is dating Juliet’s former best friend, she found out and is furious, and Jeremy found out he knocked the best friend up. Well first we don’t really know if he’s the father, he probably won’t be. Second, these two bore me!

So let’s talk about which kid isn’t Tripp’s. Tripp confronted Letitia, she admitted one of them wasn’t his (well she didn’t say one), and she said she would tell only if he promised it would never be revealed and things would stay the way they are. Of COURSE we didn’t find out who it was! The show gave some huge hints it was Brian, as he felt he never fit in with the family. That seems just too easy that they’d give it away like that. Then again, Brian is the one who hates Nick so it would be interesting. Then there is Karen. However if she was Dutch’s kid, it would essentially kill the whole Karen-Nick obsession Karen has, unless the show wanted to go in a “VC Andrews” kind of direction. Patrick? It would kill his chances in the senate. I have to wonder if it will wind up being the twins, only because their worlds would come crashing down as they pretty much seem to just be the media darlings of the family.
