IT'S the weekend and Astrid couldn't sit still ever since morning. There's really only one reason for this. He was waiting for the news about the Thornleys that would blew up today. If Olivia's plan went smoothly, then that would happened today. Maybe tonight. Since the episode of [Baby's Day-Off] where he and Livi appeared would air this afternoon.
Olivia's plan, or as Astrid understood it, was for her to get so much criticism after that episode aired that the general public would focus their attention on the Thornleys. Which was inevitable.
Olivia was a pretty famous celebrity back in her heyday. Even if she hadn't been active for years, any news about her would still be newsworthy. After the criticism about her 'parenting' start to circulate online, maybe she even hired someone to blow up the whole issue.
