Doris becomes a bit skeptical when she learns that Duke and Alison met only two days ago, and that Alison is slyly pressuring him to buy her jewelry from one of the most expensive jewelers in town. That skepticism is strengthened when Doris doesn't recognize Alison's name or the Peabody's as old family money in San Francisco. Doris is certain Alison is a phony when she meets her in person, which is confirmed when Myrna and Ron help her do research into the non-existing Peabodys of San Francisco. They are all certain that if Duke does propose, Alison will say yes, request a quickie wedding, get whatever she can out of Duke and then divorce him to collect the alimony. Doris also knows that Duke will neither believe her if she tries to tell him the truth, and resent the fact that they checked up on Alison. Doris figures the only way to get Duke not to marry her is to show him what a big phony she is by luring her with an even bigger phony. Written by Huggo See less
