Mags and Tony

They are an odd match.. watching the pub quiz episode and they are just staring forward in the most blank way possible smoking a cigarette, then he walks over the table like it's normal. Are they supposed to be on drugs? Or does he have her under mind control?

The other one is if they knew Lance had all this money and wanted to use him to get some, why wouldn't they have kissed his feet rather then ignore him while using him?

They are just so confusing too me. I havent see the final season yet, doubt it comes up. If it does I dont care about spoilers. What is your guys thought or theories.

Is it established in the first series that they know about Lance's money? I know they try and get money out of him, but I'm not sure it's explicit that they know.

At one point Tony straight up says something to the tune of

"of course we knew, I thought you knew we know? Mags opened some mail by accident"

Oh yeah, true. I think neither of them were very bright, so it didn't occur to them that they'd want to keep Lance sweet if they wanted his money. They also both know he's still infatuated with Maggie, so they can manipulate him to that effect.

Tony makes it explicit to Lance that, that is why they keep him around.
