The leather thong is a reminder of James Hurley. Laura wore hers on a
chain. Naturally, Jacoby replaces the thong with the chain to pretend
that it's Laura's.

You are kidding, right?

Try "Catherine from scheming bitch to scheming bitch conning Pete "The
Poodle" Martell, the one person in the whole world she's sure isn't trying
to kill her, into helping her find the cooked book."

Watch the way she imperiously orders Pete out of the Library when
Hank calls. Same old Catherine.

And watching her trying to decide whether or not to save Shelley
from the burning mill is a classic. You can almost see the gears
turning in her head. Shelley is Catherine's hole card - she knows
who started the fire.
