But she texted a friend to say that Alec's request was fishy and that she thought that Alec was up to something, but she didn't know what.

Well, they were also keeping it far under wraps from just about everybody because even Blanca, their fucking housekeeper, seemed to not know that anything was going on.

Yeah, they were keeping everything on the down low.

Yeah.

Well, Maggie was nevertheless on her way to Moselle by that afternoon.

And with both Maggie and Paul guaranteed to be at Moselle that night, Alec Murdoch presumably began psyching himself up to murder his wife and youngest son.

However...

It does beg the question, and this is a question that just dawned on me today.

Did Paul and Maggie ask why Buster wasn't there that night?

What did Alec tell them?

And how did he make sure that Paul and Maggie did not text Buster about the visit?

Did Alec tell Buster to stay away that night?

And if he did, did Alec give a reason?

Perhaps, did Alec give Buster...

The real reason?

No.

Well, I know.

He was going to be a ninny about it.

But what I'm saying is that how did he keep Buster away?

Because, you know, of course, if Paul and Maggie are going, hey, Buster, you coming on out?
