Beatrice was 35 years younger than Epstein. Why on earth would she want him at her 18th birthday party? And why pn earth was Sarah involving her daughter in any of her mess to begin with? If Sarah was in such a hell of a financial mess, why couldn't she go to Epstein directly instead of manipulating Beatrice to act as mediary? Sarah is a liar and a narcissist.

I think the reason Sarah is throwing Beatrice under the bus is because her elder daughter is no longer under her control. I think Edo knew what Sarah was doing--his parents are close friends of Andrew and Sarah and they would clued him in--and got Beatrice away from her toxic mother. Sarah can't lean on Beatrice any more and she is angry about that, which is whyshe's being so horrible to her elder daughter.
