Vera Lane

Vera Lane was the original name of a woman who visited the Inn in September 2006. She became Dex Langan. She admitted to Louisa and Jessica that she had been a con artist in her original life, and found it ironic that she was now with the FBI investigating identity theft and fraud. Jessica confided to Louisa that she felt Dex was likely "on the take" in some way, perhaps in league with those behind the INS' investigations of Mark and Vinessa. This theory was strengthened when Jeremy Boyd revealed that Lane (as Langan) had visited him prior to his scheduled return to the Inn, and intimidated him out of returning, for fear of being tried for desertion.
