In recent scenes, Bernie was shocked by the return of Denny, and she told the shocking lie that their son Paul had already passed away in order to keep Denny out of their lives.
Despite her efforts, Bernie’s scheme was quickly rumbled, and she was uneasy when Paul decided to give his father another chance.
