So after Archer gets it his wife shows up at Spade & Archers office, lays hurt, accuses Sam of the murder, starts crying. Infers as much as I'm suggesting. What's the truth? What's your take?

Iva Archer was nothing more in that moment than a stain on the flower of womanhood. Hell, she admitted later that the she was mad with jealousy over some such or other.
