Wild Things: Foursome Timeline Explained: Your Questions Answered

When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Wild Things: Foursome (2010): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why did Brandi refuse to drop the rape charges against Carson?

Brandi refused to drop the charges because she was part of a scheme with Rachel to marry into wealth. Unlike Linda and Rachel who settled, Brandi used the accusation as leverage to stay involved in Carson's life and ultimately claim a portion of the Wheetly fortune.
