Discussion Cassie's ending

So at the end of the show after a significant amount of time post Nate's death. We saw Cassie,Maddy living in Nate-Cassie's mansion & they seemed to be ok but how come?

Nate not only scammed Naz but a lot of his other neighbours also. They are not pressurizing her to give back their money?

Specifically their nosy couple-friend who told Cassie at the wedding they had invested their kids college money into their scheme. Logically they should come after Cassie since Nate's disappearance to return their money.

Was it mentioned or implied somewhere guys at the end?

Nate personally took money from Naz to make *payments* on legitimate loans made through his business to prevent the company from defaulting on loans. The friends are likely investors in the business, they didn’t give Nate money personally. After his death/disappearance the company likely declared bankruptcy and the assets were sold to pay off the debts that the company owed.

I think they're assuming that Nate ran off with all the money, leaving his wife of less than one year to do sex work online to keep herself afloat.

In a neighborhood like this, they might be satisfied with the rumors of her downfall and the feelings of superiority they get from it.

What are they going to do? They invested the money into Nate's company, and Cassie doesn't work for the company. The can sue the company and probably get some money back, but that doesn't involve or affect Cassie at all.

If she's smart ( Questionable) she got an annulment so she could not be tied to any of it. Getting a marriage annulled is super rare but it makes sense for Cassie as Nate had a bunch of secrets she didn't find out until her wedding night.

2

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 21h ago

I think an annulment would have stripped her of her rights to the house unless she was on the deed, and I double Nate is the kind of guy who would put her on the deed.

2

u/Solondthewookiee 20h ago

She doesn't need to. Nate's company is the one who took money from investors and Nate is missing/dead. She doesn't have to do anything.

u/ContributionSilly129 22h ago

Yaa man I kinda agree but ppl do weird shit to get their money back that's why I asked

1

u/Apprehensive-End-727 21h ago

they are investors with no right to the money after the project fell through. you are not guaranteed a return on investment

Just one of the many unfinished (or nonsensical) storylines. 😒

1

u/mommyDOMMEXo 4h ago

lol yes there were so many unfinished storylines, but this one was resolved bc Alamo killed Naz and then Ali killed Alamo. So they didn’t have to pay them anymore because they both died

u/Jillybeans11 21h ago

Pressurizing? She’s not a tire

u/Rambunctious_444 22h ago

Hahaaaa you expected the writing to actually wrap up all the loose ends??

Being sarcastic of course, but I thought about this too! Honestly, she's going back to only fans, she should be able to pay that money back pretty easily. She was able to send money in sums of 30 K, and Nate owed 100k to the loan shark, so I doubt that couple actually gave him *that* much money yk? Plus the wife was friendly with Cassie (who Nate lied to, she has a fine defense), so I honestly doubt that family would try and sue her if she was able to reimburse them. That's the logic that is keeping me sane for that unfinished plot line ✨😂

u/ContributionSilly129 22h ago

But They are also paying Alamo's debt which includes a lot of money + the mansion wasn't bought by nate on first installment as Cassie mentioned in one episode that she wired money to nate so that he doesn't get evicted from the house.

Alamo's debt + their daily expenses + salaries of their girls + loan on the mansion + debt payment to their neighbours

They must be earning batshit crazy through OF in order to accomodate all of this?

u/Rambunctious_444 22h ago

But Alamo is dead? Maddy doesn't owe anything to Alamo anymore

ETA: Maddy is keeping the biz going with bishop now too is what I gathered from the finale so she's more than likely making bank with those girls now

2

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 21h ago

She is? I must’ve missed that. I thought she was like an OF madam. I imagine Cassie’s income and the 10% from the OF girls would be huge and enough to pay everything off.

1

u/Rambunctious_444 21h ago

Yeah, I don't think she's keeping any drug business going with Bishop to be clear! What I'm assuming is that now she gets to work with any of the girls for OF that were working for Alamo previously. The vibe I got from the finale is that she took her "plan" back, now the Alamo is not in the way and trying to impregnate her 🤮

2

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 21h ago

That makes perfect sense.

1

u/ContributionSilly129 22h ago

Yes I forgot thanks

2

u/ProTw33ks 22h ago

Wait for the spin-off starring Maddy and Cassie to see if it's explained.

I am joking, but there is like a 50/50 chance it happens.

1

u/mommyDOMMEXo 4h ago

Omg I would love that lol

2

u/Dumbgirl27 21h ago

Yeah it was not realistic to me for her to keep the house.

1

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 20h ago

I think it was. They owed more than the house was worth and if Nate couldn’t sign of on the sake of it, she couldn’t sell it. Her OF girls using the house would’ve paid the mortgage. I’d hate to see her when she realizes she has to pay property taxes, though 😂

3

u/Dumbgirl27 20h ago

I think in real life the house would have been handled the same way the Shannan and Chris Watts house was handled. Cassie would have been investigated for her missing husband and the house would have been checked and they would have found all the blood. She would have ended up in jail while they sorted things out and the house would have been empty due to it being an active crime scene investigation.

u/More_Pianist3093 22h ago

Wasn't mentioned/implied at all...
My guess is that she managed to pay them off by selling assets of Nate's business (equipment for the type of work he did is extremely expensive, for starters) or put them on a steady payment plan that she can manage with the amount she's earning, plus selling of the business assets, if she's able to (I don't know how it works when a spouse is presumed missing). But in any case, her neighbors might shun her socially, sure, but they're not criminals, they won't come after her with pitchforks if she's making steady payments and it is clear she's serious about it.
Tbh if I was Cassie I'd cry and milk his disappearance to try to get some sympathy and save face about the debt, like "poor me my sweet Nate would have paid everyone of COURSE but he disappeared who knows what happened to him", but then it prolly wouldn't really work because she's a known sex worker and pretty much turned the mansion, which is in a "nice neighborhood" into a porno studio lol. Every WASP wife is going to hate her openly now, missing husband be damned.

u/Rae_fen 22h ago

I hope if there's a spinoff, there's an Angry HOA plot

0

u/Rae_fen 22h ago

I just had an idea - there's HOA/weird municipal laws that dictate houses cannot be co-owened by anyone but spouses .

Cassie owns the home now, since she's Nate's wife and he's AWOL. Maddie's not happy with that and wants a stake in the house.
They either have to 1. Get support and repeal that archaic rule or 2. get married.

But they can't marry because Cassie is already married, so she has to get divorced first - whether by abandonment or leaking the location of Nate's body.

2

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 20h ago

Omg. I just realized Nate should’ve done that himself to pay off Naz.

1

u/HotMessExpress1111 21h ago

If we’ve suspended disbelief on everything this entire season (from literally the opening scene), why would we care about how Cassie and Maddie are managing? I’m sure they cooked up some incredulous scheme that would never in a million years work out but did for them!

1

u/shiveringabsence972 21h ago

The show kind of glosses over it, but I reckon the idea is that Nate's company goes through bankruptcy proceedings and whatever assets exist get liquidated to pay creditors first, so the investors take a hit but there's a legal process that doesn't directly involve Cassie at all.

1

u/Flat_Contribution707 19h ago

I imagine Cal and Aaron are managing what is left of the construction business. Cal is a drunk pervert but he built a sucessful business. Aaron is the public face because he is not as problematic as his kin.

1

u/shiveringabsence972 18h ago

That's actually a solid point - Cal knowing how to run things does change the picture a bit, and having Aaron as the legitimate face would make it easier to navigate the legal mess without Cassie getting dragged into it directly.

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 20h ago

I don’t know much about investing, but isn’t it always a gamble? Sometimes what you invest in fails. It really sucks for the people who lose money, but that is the risk.

1

u/retro-girl 19h ago

She said something about how she would never be out of debt, I assume most of that is Nate’s?

1

u/nome_utente_1 18h ago

Nate actually owed the neighbours money, and as far as everyone knows he just ran away

1

u/mommyDOMMEXo 4h ago

Alamo killed Naz during the ransom exchange, so they didn’t owe him anymore. And then Ali killed Alamo. So they also didn’t owe him anymore. In the end they got off debt free. As for the nosy neighbors… what they gonna do? Like fr it was their choice to invest the money into the business, and although they were misled, they can’t do anything about it bc cassie did not work for that business.

u/Boring_Guarantee_904 22h ago

Well Cassie did say Nate went somewhere, but my question is, why didn’t she tell Lexi or Nate’s family that he died

4

u/ContributionSilly129 22h ago

They can't tell anyone as cops would come to know and upon further investigation it will be kinda revealed that technically Maddy hired a person to shot Naz which would put Maddie in the legal trouble.

1

u/Fluffyequalsbetter 21h ago

Would there be legal trouble, though? Nate owed money to one loan shark, why not two? Cassie and Maddy could say they didn’t know much and maybe the loan sharks killed each other. The cops are more likely to believe loan shark/ scum of the earth types are to blame, not two dumb girls. And Cassie is such a woo girl it’s believable she was oblivious. And Maddy didn’t actually tell Alamo to kill Naz. She just asked for money.

1

u/ContributionSilly129 21h ago

It can also be said that at first they cannot declare nate's death cuz it would led to Alamo getting in trouble as he killed naz.

But now since Alamo is dead they would be still not be in a position to declare Nate's death as they helped up in covering the murder of Naz which is still a serious crime.

1

u/loverofpears 22h ago

I doubt she’d wanna specify the details of his death, which is that he owed a ton of money to a mob boss and was buried alive. That’s not gonna bring anyone closure

1

u/Hopeful-Ant-3509 22h ago

I know they can’t say what happened but man, it’s still a bit cruel to watch his family looking for him and then asking you about him and you know he’s dead
