#002 Tuesday, April 10th Yvette meets with Stephen over the prospect of overriding Anna on the shopping mall project, but he tells her that Andrew had it in his will that the land was to be left alone and that she has little chance of overturning it. She then suggest that the provision could be overturned on the grounds that her father wasn't in his right mind when he added it to the will. Stephen responds by saying that it would be ludicrous and disrespectful to her father's memory to suggest and that he'll have no part of it. He also warns her that dragging it into court would only embarrass her family. Edmund and Anna are discussing business when Anna notices Edmund still has a photo of his estranged wife. She asks Edmund if he still misses her since she abandoned him, but he just shrugs and says he isn't sure how to feel about her. Anna tells him it's time to move on with his life and find someone new. He says that he isn't ready to make that step yet and needs time to sort his feelings out. Joseph and Trish run into each other Guido's restaurant and Joseph brings up the subject of their divorce. Trish tells him that the divorce was no fault of her own and that it happened because he was more concerned with business than his marriage. Joseph snaps back by saying that she was never patient with him and didn't give him a chance to make things right. She says that their son practically grew up only seeing his father briefly between business trips and that she had to play father and mother to JC. Joseph says that he was only trying to give her and their son the life they deserved and that she was never grateful. Carol offers Cody a job to help him get a fresh start, but he tells her he doesn't want to work in the family company. Carol accuses him of being as difficult as ever, but he responds by saying that it's not the right time for him to work with his family. Carol asks him why even even bothered to come back, if he was going to put her through the same stress as he did before he left. Cody tells her that he wanted try and make things right, but it's clear that she doesn't want the same thing. Back at Guido's, Lynette and Jim are having dinner and talking. She says that she is rethinking her decision of not pursuing a career, flooring Jim. He says that he doesn't want to have to drop his own career so she can have one, but Lynette says she's not asking him to do that. Jim says that they have two young children who are used to having their mother around and he doesn't want someone else taking care of them. Lynette says that she isn't even sure what she is going to do, but hopes that Jim will support her in what ever she decides. Jim says he can't promise if he will support her or not.

Note: Future episodes will be slightly longer. This is not my best work, other episodes will be better. Episode #001 Carol confronts Trish about JC not aligning himself with Donahue. Trish tells her that JC is old enough to make his own decisions and has decided that he prefers working at McGregor. Carol then accuses Trish of supporting Joseph and Anna manipulating JC for their own purposes. Trish calls the accusation ridiculous and shows Carol out of her office. Yvette proposes building a major shopping complex on land purchased by Andrew shortly before his death, but Anna rejects the idea, because Andrew intended for the land to be a preserve. Yvette tells Anna that Andrew left the company to his family to run as they see fit, so therefore the land should be used for the complex. Anna says that she will not violate Andrew's wishes, but Yvette is determined to get what she wants. Joseph and JC are at a restaurant when JC brings up the subject of Carol. Joseph tells JC that it is fine if he has a relationship with the other side of his family, but to be careful of how close he gets to them. JC says that he can't spend anytime with her without her accusing Joseph of poisoning his mind against her. Joseph scoff at the accusation, saying that he always taught JC to make up his own mind about people. Joseph looks over and sees Carol entering the restaurant. She comes over to their table, only speaking to JC and giving Joseph a cold glare. Carol hugs JC, before the waiter seats her at a table on the other side of the restaurant. At the Donahue House, Norm answers the door to find brother Cody standing on the other side. As soon as Cody steps inside, they begin to argue. Norm ask why Cody didn't attend their father's funeral a year ago and Cody states that he wouldn't have felt welcomed after staying away from home for so many years.
