Betty first cottoned on to what was really going on when her husband was away. She received a threatening letter in the mail addressed to her husband that read: “How can a good fellow like you with two charming children have a no-good, two-timing wife?” read the letter from an unnamed woman.

Confused as she hadn’t been unfaithful, Betty confronted her husband about who this woman was. Gus denied any wrong doing wholeheartedly, but when Betty asked him about the other men, he remained silent, refusing to confirm or deny. The men were having their fill of the “Cape Cookies”, but some were worse than others.
