Credit Mrs. Fuji with this one.
She just told me she thinks AJ and Dixie hired that actress to come out and say those things to throw suspicion off the affair. She believes this is why the woman was so awful at explaining what was happening, because she probably had little time to prepare her speech. It would also explain why she was so bad, so we as the audience would KNOW she was acting and not being sincere.
If this is true, the angle will continue, whether we like it or not, but I can't see anything paying this off OTHER than a Dixie/AJ heel turn, which I cannot believe will happen.
