How will Judy keep Nick and Jen away from the truth?
It looks like she cant, especially while shes distracted by the idea that she might be pregnant.
(Remember, he wanted to take it slow?
Apparently, real slow.)

Shes just been told, after five miscarriages, that she will likely never be pregnant again.
Does that impact how much you want to see her arrested for killing Ted?
One almost wonders if she might just throw it all away and confess to Jen?
That is, if Nick doesnt figure it out first.
