Here's a sceniro. Let's say Andrew was screwing everything in town. Abby found out about that and found out about the affiar with Bridget. She wants Bridget to live but Andrew won't have it(why kick the pouch to the curb?). Anyway, Bridget finds out about all the other affiars that Adrew was catting around with butt that wiggles. She was upset. Asks Lizzie for help. There was no love lost with Abby.Lizzie had more of a reason to kill Abby, and Bridget had more of a reason to kill Andrew. This way they could work together.
This theory might have already been thought of and I hadn't been paying attention.
Interesting, but lets take it from the top.
I havn't seen any evidence that Andrew was hangin' with chicks. He was in a position to (hire pretty secretaries and such) but I don't think he did.
So if he was having tons of affairs, it would mean lots of business lunches with cute ladies, perhaps potential lenders, whatever, I havn't seen that either.
I don't see a tension between Andrew and Abby as would have been if Abby suspected him of dippin babes. They seem to have gotten along and the more I read about Andrew and Abby the more I certainly like them and feel sorry for them, especially Andrew who seems like a pretty nice guy.
I don't know how Andrew could have an affair with Bridget without it being known around the world and it's a one win. Why would Bridget do it with an old guy? To get less work or to hope that someday she'd married to money? Both are pretty unrealistic today, and moreso in 1890.
If Bridget did fulfill something like this scenario, boy talk about ostracization. And she would have known this would be coming.
Lizzie really did have a reason to kill Abby, but the reasoning is not as firm with her Father. He probably would have lived at most ten more years. If Lizzie could get Abby out of the way why not just chill a while?
So if Lizzie kills Abby, or has her killed, why kill Andrew?
That's really the big question in this particular crime.
Because if she didn't kill Andrew it would be ten more years living in the house on Second street under her fathers thumb. And what if he suspected her of murder on top of this?

Never thought of it like that. But Allen is right in a way. Why wait ten years of living under her fathers thumb on a house on second street. When she could be living in a nice house on the hill. Thats reason enough for me.
