Episode 83 - On Board

"Reese, welcome!" Dustin smiled as he invited his former coworker into his new office space. "I'd offer to give you the grand tour, but we aren't so grand around here yet. Emphasis on the yet.

"This is our office receptionist, Christy," he said, motioning toward the person sitting at the front desk. "Christy, this is Reese. Reese is one of the most talented corporate lawyers I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She was one of the youngest people to finish law school and pass the bar exam in our state, so she has more years of experience than one would think."

Reese blushed at the praise and exchanged hellos with the receptionist before following Dustin through the office.

"I didn't know you knew so much about me."

"I always do my homework, especially when it comes to my career, and this new firm is my baby. It's what I've spent my entire life working toward, and I'm determined to make sure it succeeds. I'm leaving no details to chance, so that means no secrets for anyone who wants to work with me."

Episode 82 - Kidnapped

"Dad!"

Lawrence came to on his office floor with Artie crouched over him, shaking his shoulder. The back of his head was throbbing.

"What happened?" Artie asked once he saw his father was awake.

"I don't know. Where's the nanny?"

Episode 81 - The Imposter

Blaine tried to focus on his work, but he kept going back to that one file, that one woman. He knew he shouldn't obsess about it, but he realized the sooner he solved what was bothering him about her, the sooner he could forget about it and focus on the task at hand.

He pulled up the picture again of the young woman with spiky black hair, dark eyes, and a pixie face. He held his palm over parts of the screen to isolate her features. Was it the hair or was it her face? He decided it was definitely the face. He pulled up some other pictures with different hairstyles and colors and started mixing and matching them with Lauren's face.

When he tried a long, blonde style, he knew he had it.

He swiveled in his chair to go find Lawrence, but the man was already behind him, frozen in place where he had been walking across the room.

Episode 80 - Off and On

Paige hurried around her apartment, getting ready for her first day back at work. Her extended holiday had probably been given with the intention of allowing her extra time to relax and spend with her loved ones, but instead she had spent the majority of the past few weeks alone in her apartment, doing online research and becoming increasingly frustrated with her lack of progress.

Working for the Arrendales had brought her no closer to finding what she was searching for. She felt like she needed to stick it out and give it more time, but since the real Jolene had showed up and Lance was on to her deception, she was running out of time. This plan of hers was feeling increasingly hopeless.

She paused at the desk and picked up the well-worn and frequently read letter that her sister had sent her so many months ago. She had scoured it countless times looking for some sort of clue, but it only brought her to the same conclusion: that this was where she needed to be. The wording in the letter was so vague; all it told her for certain was that her sister was alive.

She folded the letter and placed it back in its drawer. She didn't have time to mull over it now. It was her first day back, and she was already running behind. She decided to wait and see how much grief Lance had in store for her today and then decide if she wanted to continue her job at the Arrendales or abandon this plan for Plan B, whatever that might be.

She was about to grab her bag and head out when she was startled by a knock on the door. She frowned, wondering who it could be. She never had visitors.

Episode 79 - Life Choices

"Thanks for bringing Meghan home," Amanda said to Andrew as he and Meghan entered her apartment.

"I'm just glad to spend a little time with her," Andrew said, hugging Meghan around her shoulders.

"Did you have dinner?" Amanda asked. When Andrew said that they had not, she extended an invitation. "Why don't you stay and eat with us? Meghan, you can set the table and tell me about your day."

"Can I help?" Andrew asked as he followed Amanda and Meghan into the kitchen.

"No, it's almost ready. Just have a seat."
