My Wife's Best FriendHouseguest bombshell moves in and the husband forgets his own schedule

The story

Exclusive from the suburbs: one afternoon, a husband finds that his wife's old college friend has moved in for the week. The role belongs to a licensed AI twin of Riley Reid, a digital stand-in, and the actual Riley took no part. She plays a woman who left a famous career behind and is hinting at a comeback. The wife leaves for work with a cheerful wave and a promise to be back by six. The husband works from home, which, as the houseguest points out, means company for both of them. Sources say the coffee goes very cold in episode 1.

The twist

Episode 2 gets personal. The guest asks questions about the marriage that a friend of the family should not know the answers to, and she seems to have been briefed in detail. The husband protests, and she calmly dismantles every excuse he offers.

Developing story

The three paid episodes leave a sofa, a friendship and a wedding ring in an awkward triangle. Nobody on this desk will predict who walks away with their loyalty intact.
