    So Tiff and Bets are at college, talking about her staying at the mansion and…. The mansion suddenly appears, as a ghost in the background?!? LOL

    Bets does have the gift of gab. I don’t think Tiff will be able to say no… don’t think she wants to, either.

    WAIT.

    Tiffany called Bets a “manipulator??”

    Tiffany, the young woman who just talked Les and Ox into moving that student junk, at Slave wages?

    Tiffany, the young woman that once, was going to get Gunther to sell her stuff on eBay free of charge?

    As far as I’m concerned, Bets and Tiffany are two of a kind in the manipulation department.

    There’s absolutely NO reason these two _shouldn’t be pals.

    They are almost exactly alike.

    A marketer is someone offers something that people want. Some times exaggerating what he has to offer A manipulator gets people to do things they would not otherwise do through a combination of guilt, flattery or threat. When Bets tells Tiffany “you owe me…” that is half-guilt and half-threat. Tiffany has it right, Bets is a manipulator.

    for further proof look at her entire relationship with Amos, er, Gunther.

    Bets IS good! Tiffany can’t say no to her proposal, Bets knows her very well. A summer together has many possibilities and all of them are interesting. Thanks to this, they could really become BFF for life ♡, or enemies… but today is BFF day and I don’t think this is a coincidence! I hope Gunther will visit them.

    Tiff is right, you know, Bets? Yes, you’re enterprising but they are, by nature, manipulators. Just look it up. They all say they aim to influence people, and you are doing precisely that. You do that with Gunther, too. Not necessarily related to marketing but to get what you want. So you are not just enterprising but a manipulator. I wonder if this is the launch of the summer of Tiff pointing this flaw to Bets through her acts to help her realize that she is indeed a manipulator – or rather than Bets, but Gunther and he ends up breaking up with her for good?

    these two have helped each other in aspects of their college lives; they are friends but it is good that Tiff points this out to Bets. Bets is both a marketer AND a manipulator, the 2nd being not so desirable. If Tiff agrees to let Bets live at the mansion for the summer she will need to lay down some rules of that game. Bets could manipulate Tiff into doing a lot of things with or at her Dad’s house that Tiff might not otherwise consider. Also, can Tiff trust Bets to be alone in that house when she is not there, e.g. working?

    There is a HUGE difference between doing a favor here and there, and being “owed” free lodging for the summer. Tiff is making a big mistake if she lets Bets move in. Temporary “help” such as finding a van, or past help such as tutoring and encouragement, don’t even come close to measuring up to what Bets is “suggesting”. (As some other commenters point out, with “guilt” and “threats”. Horrible idea, but I suppose good for the storyline.
