1989 (#28) - The contribution of Lil and Morey, the kidnapping of Katherine with Esther

Unaware of Gina, who in the meantime receives Rex's apology for her suspicions towards Clint, he prepares every last detail of his diabolical plan. First, he informs two excited Shirley and Robert that he has found a Katherine double and that he wants to replace her with her, thus recommending to the two infiltrators that they must do everything possible to make Marge adapt to the new reality. But first of all, and even more importantly, Clint, with the help of two accomplices, namely Lil Porter, a woman with a strong temperament, and Morey Hoover, a small man hopelessly in love with Lil and certainly more shy and awkward than her, experts in makeup and masking, transforms an excited Marge in order to make her look as much like Katherine as possible. First her hair is dyed blond and her golden tooth is replaced; then it's the turn of a full-bodied beauty treatment, a small facelift and a careful manicure. Then, Clint, with the help of Shirley and Robert, who in the meantime are studying the original Katherine, tries to give Marge the same movements and tone of voice as Mrs. Chancellor. For Marge, who is also learning the typical Katherine walk, and all the faces and relationships with her of the many people, relatives and friends who know Katherine. For Marge it was really hard to identify with a new person, having also had to give up smoking and drinking; however, the reasons for doing so were certainly not lacking, from the economic prospects, to the luxury and comfort that awaits her to, finally, her marriage to Rex, curious to find out if the nickname "sexy Rexy" coined by Katherine has or does not have foundation. Now, for Clint, all that was left was to really start the plan, which involved the kidnapping of Katherine, which would be taken care of by Lil and Morey, and her replacement with Marge, who would live on the estate together with the support of Roobert and Shirley, two invaluable infiltrators able to help the woman at all times. Robert's first attempt to put Katherine to sleep with chloroform is interrupted when Katherine has a sudden attack of appendicitis, which forces Clint to postpone everything and, above all, forces Marge to undergo the operation herself. After a few weeks, finally, everything is ready for Shirley and Robert's second attempt. Katherine now seems to have recovered and Marge is ready to take over. What Clint and Robert did not foresee, however, is the arrival of Esther at the estate; the woman, who arrived to find out about Katherine's health and above all to make her aware of the wonderful news of expecting a baby at Tiny's, is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Without thinking twice about it, two agitated Robert and Shirley kidnap both Katherine and Esther, entrusting the two women to Lil and Morey, who take them to a shack outside of town. Clint, at the same time, makes Marge wear the same clothes that Katherine had and makes her enter her role for the first time. And although Clint is furious that he had to kidnap Esther too, he still appears optimistic about the success of their diabolical plan, promising everyone that they will soon be very rich.
