The movie doesn't work for me unless he did rape Robyn. The idea is for Gordo to continue the lie so neither Simon or Robyn, to a lesser extent, know the truth. Simon could show the video to Robyn in order to win her back and show he isn't the bully she thinks he is. It also shows how creepy Gordo is by taping their private conversations. Or maybe Robyn just finds out. The monkey mask works on two levels. One is to scare or "bully" Simon even more and not reveal who it is to the police. The second part is Simon has to know whether it's his baby or not. He could end up raising Gordo's baby or divorce. Gordo isn't sure it's his baby either; He's interested in the pregnancy, so that's further evidence that he did it. I think he reveals with his eyes comment in the final phone call that it's his baby. Otherwise, his plans has too many holes. What if Robyn isn't pregnant? He doesn't know if Simon can have a baby or not either. It's a long shot that she became pregnant from one time, too, but maybe the idea that he raped his wife would bother Simon. Since Gordo's been secretly watching and listening to their conversations, it could be he helped expose Simon to Danny. That would complete the circle for me in destroying Simon's life. Prior to this, I don't think it was Gordo's plan to exact revenge. He was willing to let bygones be bygones until Simon told him to stay away after their meeting at someone else's house. He realized Simon was still the bully he was back in high school.
