So last night saw more twists and turns with my new favorite show “Dirty Sexy Money.”

It had appeared, when we last left off, that Brian Darling had bribed an airplane mechanic to tamper with Nicks’s dad’s plane. Of course this would be too easy and too quick of a resolution. The mechanic was actually blackmailing Brian because he knew about his affair and the kid he had. Nick forced Brian to step up and take care of the kid, whose mom fled to Brazil.

Nick later learned Tripp may have known about his dad and Lilly’s affair. Tripp became the next suspect in Nick’s mind, so following Lilly’s advice, he stole Tripp’s personal journal. However there was nothing in it about his dad’s death, aside from a mysterious drawing of a plane and scratched out text. Tripp noticed his journal was missing, and later Nick admitted he took it as he was looking for clues as to who killed his father. Tripp was hurt that Nick suspected him.

By the end of the episode, Nick talked with Tripp, who knew about the affair between his wife and Nick’s dad all along. Nick still hadn’t gotten into the briefcase from his dad’s plane. Tripp suggested the combo could by Lilly’s birthday, which it was. Inside were papers on some unknown con. Tripp suggested he start there in searching for his dad’s killer.

So now it seems like the Darlings didn’t kill Nick’s dad after all, but a con did. I’m not convinced honestly. At the end of the last episode Tripp had a talk with the mechanic, so who knows what was hid or covered up. Also I still have the feeling Nick’s dad could turn up alive, though I guess they did have a burial for him. I can’t remember if the remains were ever actually seen by anyone though.
