If you were the Erik Almas, the Husband of Actress Andrea Bogart and you have two sons with her and you were tired of your marriage to her, which of these two options would you choose?
1) Stay loyal to your Actress Wife Andrea Bogart
or
2) Begin having a secret affair with her married best friend Actress Sunny Mabrey. In this situation, Sunny will divorce her husband, and then the both of you secretly plot to gaslight the shit out of Andrea Bogart so that she can get institutionalized so that after you divorce Andrea Bogart, you can marry Sunny Mabrey, and then it will be easier for both you and Sunny Mabrey to have Andrea Bogart's Parental rights taken away, so that Sunny Mabrey can legally adopt the two sons that you have with Andrea Bogart as her own and Sunny becomes their mother now and she is no longer the stepmother anymore.
