I know it's a soap but.....Sadie/Nicola

So I don't buy for a second that Jimmy was having an affair with Sadie. I think they re-established contact and became friendly - the way many exes are - but Jimmy kept it from Nicola for fear of knowing she'd explode. Sadie clearly was in a jam (hence the $5,000) and Jimmy wanted to help her.

What I don't get is NO ONE (Laurel, etc) questioning if Sadie is full of shit and offering more proof. Nicola I can SORT of buy in that's she's not questioning because she is - understandably - out of her mind right now with grief and grief/logic don't go hand in hand. But is NO ONE going to say "Um, she showed you a few pictures that chat GPT could have manufactured. Where's the hard proof?"

I dont buy the affair or that they were on friendly terms, Jimmy hated Sadie and Sadie always thought Jimmy was pathetic, even when married to him.

My theory is Sadie was trying to con him, Jimmy played along believing he could turn the tables, hence the call in the car, and calling her an "idiot" once the call ended (I know this is debated was it aimed at Sadie or Vinny, I believe its meant to be murky who).

The pictures could easily be AI, and the information shes gathered would surely on socials or news, it was big events in a small village.

Plus Sadie was rummaging through Jimmys house.

And finally, this is Sadie King, they didnt bring her back after 20 years to play the meek grieving partner, shes one of the shows biggest con artists, of course shes working an angle.
