So last night on “Dirty Sexy Money”Nick meet with Simon Edler, who promised Nick the real report on his father’s death . . . if Nick could get Tripp to give up Darling Plaza. The billionaires club was meeting for their annual poker game, he wanted to win that property. Simon wouldn’t say what it was for though.

Nick talked to Tripp about the game, but when Darling Plaza was brought up, Tripp refused. That was their first house living in Manhattan, he couldn’t give it up. He wanted to know why Nick was pushing it?

Cut to the game, where a little argument ensued between Nick and Tripp over using Darling Plaza, he told him no. Nick pushed, saying if he could win then what was the risk. He bet . . . and lost! Of course we later learned it was all a set-up. Nick told Tripp everything, Tripp agreed to lose the property to find out who killed Dutch. This was very obvious, you could smell this coming. This makes me think Simon probably smelled it too.

Simon gave Nick the report, the mechanic did in fact tamper with the plane that killed his father. When Nick went to the police, duh duh duh duh, the mechanic was found dead that morning. So who covered it up? Simon? Tripp? Maybe Dutch himself?

In other stories going on, Tripp tried to set up a fake blackmail/tabloid scandal with Patrick and his girlfriend, to try and teach Patrick a lesson about how he was running for Senate and possibly President later on, he couldn’t risk it all. He tried to pay off the girlfriend, but she wouldn’t take the money and told Patrick what was going on. Patrick was furious, and later met with Simon Elder! Uh Oh! What’s going on, is he hitting him up for a campaign donation or perhaps selling his dad out?

Karen found out in this episode that she never officially divorced her last husband. Oops! She had to go have him sign the papers, and ended up in bed with him. Her ex was Eddie Cibrian, who was playing a world renowned anthropologist. Only on TV, in real life anthropologists don’t usually look like that! After a talking to from Letitia, Karen moved up her wedding to Freddy and has vowed to get Nick out of her life. Yeah right!

Finally Brian and his son Brian Jr. did a little cute bonding and planned some father son time together. Meanwhile Jeremy learned to try and live without the Darling money to impress people and started parking cars in one of the hotels they own.

I still am waiting for Nick’s father to turn up. I believe I read on TVGuide that Peter Strauss has been cast as Dutch, but it wasn’t said if it was for flashbacks or not. I think Dutch is alive and maybe even faked his own death for some reason.
