Brilliance

  • Ava Parulis is described as a Gold Digger. When we later learn that another sister was being forced into prostitution to pay off a debt, it seems likely that she was like this in order to get the money to buy her sister's freedom.

Logic

  • George Burton is stunned to learn that his wife is dead and that her twin sister has taken over. Fair enough, except. . .you didn't notice ANY changes in her? Her personality? Her domestic skills? Her bedroom skills? That she suddenly didn't know the names of friends, neighbors, etc.?
    • It's a combination of Genre Blindness and Good Cannot Comprehend Evil. Dead identical twin impersonation is just not a thought that would ever occur to a normal person.
    • Apart from the factual details (which Ava presumably used some kind of strategy to piece things together without tipping her hand), don't forget that Irina was a mail-order bride too. How well did George really know her by that point?
