Lea craves a lot of attention, much to the disapproval of her older siblings. She seems to always be getting more than her fair share. She can’t go ten minutes without calling out for someone to entertain her, which raises concerns about her future independence. But, after all, she’s just a toddler – how can one judge her too harshly?
Oswald is a bit sensitive, and unfortunately, not everyone gets that. Lily thinks her little pranks on him are just sibling stuff, but he sees it as bullying. When he noticed his mom looking sad for no apparent reason, he immediately thought she didn’t love him anymore and got scared that she might leave them soon. This fear was fueled by the fact that she’s been spending a lot of time with the Gallaghers lately. And speaking of them, Oswald is hurt that Joselyn has been hanging out with Audrey so much. Is it because Audrey is cooler and richer than him? Does Joselyn not want to hang out with Oswald anymore because he’s not as well-off? He wouldn’t ask that directly, of course, because he doesn’t want to upset anyone. But at the end of the day, he’s the one feeling the most upset and doesn’t know what to do…
Lily’s life sucks. Balancing the image of a rebellious troublemaker without falling into the “pick me” trap is a breeze, said no one ever. And don’t even get her started on her family. Mom’s perpetual moodiness is totally understandable, considering her life sucks. Dad’s overflowing love and care will give you a sugar rush to rival Willy Wonka’s factory. Oswald is the epitome of cringe, and Lea? Well, she is definitely a pick me already at her little age. It’s no wonder Lily is waging war against anything deemed “normal” or “standard.” Because judging by the things she has seen being labeled as those, she would rather lay under a train that have that…
The last thing Fiona expected after randomly running into Jacob Gallagher while doing her groceries was to receive an invitation to one of his house parties just a week later. To her surprise, she found herself enjoying the company of Jacob and his wife, feeling like she was part of high society once again. Before long, their house became her little secret getaway during her free time from her duties as a housewife. But what she never could have imagined was that Jacob would offer her the opportunity to participate in his little… hobby. While some may find it a bit wrong that Fiona agreed, no one could understand what it’s like for a model who once graced magazine covers to be offered a chance to shine in front of the camera once again. The style of the photo-shoots may not be what she’s used to, and they may be controversial, but as long as no one knows, no one can judge, and that gives Fiona confidence.
Charles understood how difficult it was for Fiona to leave behind everything she had worked for. He did his best to support her throughout their years of marriage. However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that his efforts weren’t quite enough. It seemed unlikely that he could do anything to change the situation, as it was clear that the role of a mother wasn’t where Fiona felt like her true self. Feeling a bit desperate, Charles noticed a change in Fiona when she started spending time with the Garraghers. Now she appears happier than she had in a long time, and he is all for it. He isn’t sure what exactly drew them together, but he suspects it is because they brought back the spark of joy and fun that Fiona had been missing. As long as Fiona’s newfound happiness doesn’t interfere with her duties as a housewife, Charles is happy to see her thriving…
Fiona once told Charles that she could never give up her glamorous modeling career for a boring life as a housewife. Yet, here they are years later, raising their three kids in the quiet suburbs of a small town no one has ever heard of. Charles likes to joke about how he tamed Fiona’s wild spirit, but he doesn’t seem to notice that every time he does, Fiona’s smile fades. She can’t help but think about the exciting life she once dreamed of and left behind and as she goes about her daily tasks alone in their house, those thoughts keep crossing her mind more and more often…
Melanie has been feeling like a hot mess lately. She won’t admit it, but the fact that she still hasn’t dated anyone is really getting on her nerves and knocking down her self-confidence. Even Lily, who is dating the most unloyal guy in town, is in a relationship, even though she can be a real pain sometimes. There are rumors going around that Mel might be into girls, but that’s not true! It’s not her fault that none of the boys around her catch her eye. If she was desperate enough, she could try to seduce Victor, but that’s like trying to hook up with a younger brother to her. On top of that, mom and dad broke up, and now Mandy is dating that Russian guy. The last part is fine by itself, Anton seems sweet, but can’t they all just slow down a little bit? Melanie needs a moment to figure out what the heck her life has turned into!
Back in the day, Ray was quite the ladies’ man, and Mandy should have known better than to try to change a player like him. It was only a matter of time before he strayed, so better late than never, right? The only thing Mandy regrets is falling for his smooth talk, believing she was his one and only. How could someone be so heartless? But hey, every cloud has a silver lining, and now she’s got Anton by her side. He’s a real gem, and Mandy even gets along with his tough mom, which is no easy feat. Things have changed for the better. Anton is different. And Mandy finally feels like she’s found someone she can truly count on…
