With Cheryl threatening her mother and demanding emancipation and ownership of the home, this attack might be the scheming couple’s final solution to getting rid of their Cheryl problem.
The far more likely scenario here is that the person preparing to attack Cheryl is not the Black Hood, but rather her uncle Claudius.
That certainly makes more sense than an impromptu Black Hood attack, especially when Betty had just rung up the killer to meet her “where it all started.”
Claudius and Cheryl’s mother Penelope have been working towards getting rid of Cheryl and her Nana Rose for quite a while now, although both women have been resilient in thwarting Claudius and Penelope’s plans.
