Monica Jarrow is the wife of golf pro Chip Jarrow, and the mother of their 16-year-old son, Luke.
History[]
Monica had been fully aware of Chip's constant cheating, which prompted a post-nuptial agreement where Monica would receive $1 million for every time she catches Chip in the act, while agreeing to keep quiet about the affairs. During this, however, Monica would make venomous comments about Chip and his flings; comments which were heard and repeated by Luke, who had a history of violence. She told Luke that Chip picks up women in his Ferrari, which led to Luke vandalizing the car.
When Monica found out about Chip being blackmailed by fellow golfer Kristin Halstead, due to his dalliance with Kristin's girlfriend, Carly Morris, she gave Luke the address to Kristin's home and sent him there to kill her, which he does by bludgeoning her to death. Monica later colluded with her son to frame Chip for the murder, as both of them pointed the finger at Chip during the investigation.
After Luke was put to trial, both Chip and Monica were informed that Luke could face life in jail, and at that point, Chip offered to take the fall to save Luke. Not wanting Chip to look like a hero, Monica confessed to her role in Kristin's murder, while lashing out at Chip in the process and stating that she figured that Luke would only get a few years in jail if he was caught. Monica pleaded guilty to manslaughter. (LA: "Playa Vista")
