This show never disappoints!
Just when you think Simon might feel some remorse, Amy walks in and ruins any sympathy you had left. Her casual claim on both Simon and the houses makes her the perfect villain.

Lacey removing her wedding ring and offering it as a 'congratulations' gift is such a powerful visual. It represents her complete emotional detachment from Simon.
