Miley’s mother-in-law, Paula, had always despised her and finally crossed a line the night before Miley’s work trip. Pretending to be too tired to drive home, Paula stayed over. In the middle of the night, Miley woke up and caught Paula sneaking into her suitcase. Hidden in the hallway, Miley recorded Paula planting lingerie, a love note, and a man’s tie — setting Miley up to look like she was cheating on her husband, Dave.
The next morning, Paula acted innocent and convinced Dave to open the suitcase. When the fake “evidence” spilled out, Paula gasped and accused Miley of infidelity. Before Dave could react, Miley played the video proving Paula’s scheme. Dave was shocked and furious, demanding, “Mom, what the hell is wrong with you?”
Paula tried to spin it, claiming she was “testing Miley’s loyalty,” but Dave didn’t buy it. He told his mother to pack her things and leave, devastated by her betrayal. As Paula left, her eyes burned with hatred — angry only because her plan had failed.
Miley made her flight, grateful she had caught Paula in time. When she returned, Dave had blocked his mother and told his father the truth. Though Dave’s relationship with Paula may never recover, he stood firmly by Miley, proving their marriage was stronger than Paula’s twisted plot.
