Marilyn never imagined that a simple daycare pickup would unravel a web of secrets about her “deceased” daughter-in-law. As she collected her granddaughter, Lucy, from Little Stars Daycare, she was thrilled to see her, but Lucy’s innocent remark—about having a matching dress with her “mommy”—shocked Marilyn. She had been told Jenna, her son David’s wife, had died years ago.

Confused and alarmed, Marilyn followed David and Lucy to the blue house Lucy mentioned. To her disbelief, she saw Jenna alive and well, playing with Lucy. The revelation sent a jolt through her. Confronting them, Marilyn learned Jenna had faked her death to protect herself and Lucy from threats related to her work. Despite the betrayal, Marilyn felt a mix of relief and understanding. She agreed to support Jenna’s gradual return to public life, determined to heal and rebuild their family bonds.
