When Andy comes back to his house after finding out about (and watching) Tracy and Jed at the beach house, he flies into a rage and knocks the stuff off her dresser. Among the stuff, there is a syringe with (as he later puts it) "trace amounts of Pergonal".
Though Tracy seems quite shocked when he lets her know (at the restaurant) that he has it, she rallies and tells him he can't prove anything. "I was trying to get pregnant after all."
Then Andy mentions the "witness" (the kid).
But I wondered why such a careful con artist as Tracy would leave something so incriminating lying on her bureau. Obviously, Andy would go through her stuff after he found out the truth, and she had plenty of time to pack it up. Why didn't she?
Was she leaving it there to lure Andy into a confrontation, in which he could be eliminated as a witness? Or was it to frame Jed somehow? It just doesn't trackPerhaps the whole thing DID go as she had planned, including Andy finding out, Jed protesting about killing the kid, so she could shoot him and get all the money. The only thing she missed was that the kid was blind and thus, Andy's blackmail attempt was also a con.
She deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die. -

I think Tracy forgot about the needle. My guess is that at the restaurant Andy must have planned everything including finding out the kid is blind. He and Dana cooked everything up prior to Tracy showing up at the restaurant. Thats why Andy had this cool attitude.

That could work too. We were just discussing the many plot holes in this filmthings that seem to be unexplained and could work with a couple or even many different answers.
Here's another weird event: since Tracy's lawyer Dennis insists that she and he are not lovers and that he has no part of the insurance scam (I kind of believe him), then why was he two hours from Boston, just to give Tracy a ride home from work? I guess it's because I know the town where it was filmed (Northampton, MA) and the idea that Tracy couldn't walk home or take one the many local buses, just didn't "track".
Then I have to remind myself that they're not calling it Northampton, but "Waverly". It's still hilarious to watch that girl on the bicycle at the beginning, riding all over the city to get to her house, which is in reality, just down the street from the college! (Smith College).
She deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die.
