The thing that amazes me about these characters is that they CONSTANTLY LIE!!! How awful must it be to be so obsessed with someone that you wake every morning to the fact that you want to be Mrs. Gideon Cross and you will do ANYTHING to accomplish that goal. The only people that don't lie in the series are Eva, Cary, and Victor . Victor doesn't lie because he is normal and Eva and Cary don't lie because in order to recover they had to face truths and be painfully honest. And even though we love Gideon he lies by omission. So at the end of the day we have poor Eva having to sift through all of their lies and omissions to get to the truth no wonder she is hard of hearing she doesn't want to hear any more LIES!!! LOL!!
Secondly I think Deanna used that sex tape as a last ditch effort to try and break up GidEva for good ...did she actually think she had a chance with him anyway...boy is she in denial ...so at least her failed attempt probably made her a bunch of money for the information.
