Jed will be on her beam ends now she is rid of Roper. Can't see her living on Social Security somehow. Perhaps Pine (her funny fish as she calls him) will help out? After all, he has that $300,000,000 stashed away somewhere.

Her family is presumably well off, or well-enough off -- they live on he Upper East Side after all. And now that she is away from Roper they have welcomed her back.
.
Yes. Good point. But her child is in Brighton as I remember, being cared for by her sister and hubby. Besides, we had a brief sight of her mother early on in the series. She was standing in her kitchen which did not look quite "state of the art." You remember her mother called her a "dirty whore." Not the kindliest way of addressing Jed.
shareI don't think she's from the UES. I think she and Roper just met there. The house and the yard where her mother was calling from did not look a place that would be on the UES (and I work on the UES so I see it every day). There are plenty of poor people in the area but no one has a house with a yard like that.

Not "they" she left her child and her family to get away from a nowhere place
Could have saved? She did find extra to send child, who, at one point I thought was in a fine school or maybe he had expensive mental or physical problems. She might have long ago learned the lesson about the importance of money in the scheme of things. We thought she might be CIA, but she was just trying to get away from a charming but rotten husband, but she had to keep playing up to him so she could live to run away. As trophy wife and trophy hostess, she is quite valuable to Roper's prestiage.
shareShe could always sell her wares on NY street corners with other woman of her ilk.

Very Naughty!

Not so. It was an independent moral judgement.
shareAmoral at best.
Nothing moral about it

I'm sure Roper gave her jewelry which she can sell. The purpose of "arm candy" is to drape them in jewels and other goodies to make other men and women envious.
If Pine gets to keep some of the money, I'm sure he will show up and splash some of it on her.
I remember an earlier woman who climbed the ladder from one powerful man after another as an escort to mistress to power broker in America. She got her start in Europe though. She died many years ago highly respected to the general public.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else

I may have been wrong but I got the impression that she got pregnant, had baby,left him and poor life situation and went to New York. Probably as an expensive escort until Rober made her his live in. If she had been a supermodel she would have been making enough and enjoyed the lifestyle too much to leave it for him. She is beautiful, good body and over 6 foot. I'm surprised Pine didn't leave with her but that adds to the mystery of what he'll do next plus perhaps he isn't sexual driven and now prefers ridding the world of villians.
shareShe is beautiful, good body and over 6 foot.
Bigger question is, why didn't Roper let Frisky kill her as soon as he found out she betrayed him and was working with pretty boy.
Again, never trust a woman!
"Again, never trust a woman!"
I've said it before, I'll say it again. GET PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP. JUST DO IT!
If you think you should trust women, perhaps you need to seek psychological help.
Think about it. Had Roper not trusted Jed he would never have fallen. He should have killed her in Arabia when she set up Corky.
Corky himself was very protective of Jed - that's why he kept warning Pine off instead of telling Roper of her extracurricular activities with Pine. And how does she repay him? She sets him up as the traitor when she and her lover are the real traitors.

Arabia?
And considering what Roper did for a living, I really don't understand all the righteous indignation against her "betrayal" of such an evil human being once she realized his true nature. She's one of the heroes of this story.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
Wherever that desert camp was with the weapons demo.
I do not think Roper was evil. Amoral at most. And even parts of US and UK intelligence realized he was a net benefit to national security. After all, he did try to arm the opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
I guess you didn't hear Angela's description of him blowing up the children. Then there was the murder of the man & boy who brought the dead granny to the camp. Not to mention the countless others who died because of his actions.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
She can always continue to prostitute herself. This time, near her kid.
She won't try to contact Pine since she doesn't know he has all that money. But seeing how wussy he is, probably he'll tell her and she will fall in love (for real). She'll get pregnant FAST and probably divorce-rape him in the future.
Nah. He'll go see her. He won't mention the money, or at least not tell her how much he has. They'll stick together. Get married. Her son will grow to love him. Eventually she'll figure out he's loaded which will make their life even sweeter. Happily ever after.
Too much like a fairy tale?
She has already shown that she is less than loyal to men she is in a relationship with. Why should Pine risk that?
#thesehoesaintloyal
Wow. What she's shown is that she valued the rich life in exchange for providing sex and acting ignorant. She valued it over clear evidence of lawbreaking on the part of the man providing that rich life. Even to the point of ditching her only child, who she lied about by omission in order to present herself as a rich man's plaything. So yeah, what will she do now? Was she scared enough to go home and make a real life for herself?
Because Pine doesn't have the $300 mil. That went into an MI-6 account that Angela would have set up before she left London. Pine didn't work for the money anyway.
Anyone in a relationship at any economic level who deliberately "doesn't know" where the money's coming from is complicit in how it's made. Jed was too smart to live that lie much longer I think, whether Pine entered their lives or not. Roper had already discovered she had a child and wasn't pleased she hid it from him, so between that and her growing suspicions - or inability to keep averting her gaze - they were heading for an eventual readjustment of their lives together. In the normal course of things they probably would have just split before she got any real details and he would have set her and her child up in style to insure her silence. She wanted that kind of life so she would have agreed to that.
Why she never made anything of herself through education or gainful employment remains a mystery because her part was underwritten, a too common thing for female characters in general. Why Roper and Pine were sexually attracted to a woman who was built like a tall teenaged boy who was fond of diaphanous garments remained unexamined too. Maybe in the novel Jed actually ate a hamburger now and then.
She can dye her hair black and take up golf, then go pro.
shareJed will just find a new sucker to take advantage of. Remember, this is a woman who didn't have the slightest qualm about betraying her loving boyfriend, screwing over the child she pretended to be a surrogate mother to, or even lying in order to get an innocent man killed. She is a snake, and as long as she maintains her beauty, she will get on just fine.
shareWho cares? She the probably the weakest element of the show
