Story Guide

Episode 1

Sabine's wedding day should be the happiest of her life. Instead, her brother Leo pours red wine over the heirloom wedding dress their late mother left her — all because Ava is upset. Then her fiancé Marco corners her with a cold ultimatum: finish the ceremony in the stained dress, or call Ava and apologize so she'll calm down. He acts like he's doing Sabine a huge favor. Looking at the spreading red stain, Sabine feels more exhausted than ever. She refuses both choices, walks out in her ruined dress, and publicly calls off her engagement to Marco Delluca.

Episode 2

Leo storms into the bridal lounge, furious that Sabine went ahead with the wedding while Ava cries at home. He insists it's just a wedding and demands she consider Ava's feelings, even suggesting a backyard barbecue would do. Sabine pushes back — she's the one getting married, and Ava's hurt is not her responsibility. The argument escalates when Leo tells her to shut up, and the next second, cold red wine runs down her hair and soaks through the white fabric over her chest. The dress she treasured for ten years is ruined by her own brother.

Episode 3

As Leo scrambles for tissues, a cold laugh comes from the doorway. Marco stands there — not in his groom's suit, but in an old white hoodie with a crooked little bear, Ava's birthday gift from last year. He sneers that Sabine schemed with his parents to arrange his life and will never measure up to Ava. Sabine almost laughs. Their engagement was set by both families since childhood, and he never once objected. She quietly wipes the wine from her face. Then Chloe bursts in, sees the ruined dress, and immediately turns on Leo and Marco for bullying her.

Episode 4

Sabine holds Chloe back — her father worked for the Delluca family, and she won't drag her friend into this. Marco misreads the moment and repeats his two choices: finish the ceremony in the stained dress, or call Ava and apologize. Sabine stays calm. The dress was designed by her mother before she died, and no designer he finds can match her. Ignoring Leo's shocked stare, she takes the bouquet and walks onto the ceremony stage alone. With only Marco's parents watching, she takes the microphone and announces the wedding is canceled — Marco Delluca and she have nothing to do with each other.

Episode 5

Chaos erupts in the banquet hall. Leo stands frozen at the entrance, pale and panicked, his hands stopping when he sees the red stain. Sabine doesn't stop for anyone. She throws aside the bouquet and walks past him, where Chloe is already waiting with the car. Only inside does she realize her hands have been shaking the whole time. Chloe curses Marco for turning into such a jerk. Sabine whispers that she just misses her mom. She remembers how close she, Leo, and Marco once were — until she turned twelve, her mother died of cancer, and her father brought home Ava.

Episode 6

Sabine recalls the years of being blamed. Every argument ended with everyone calling Ava gentler and telling Sabine she should understand, since Ava had no parents. Then came the day Ava dragged her mother's white wedding dress down the stairs. Sabine lost control and hit her for the first time. Ava arrived with Leo, her face marked, insisting it was her own fault and that she deserved it. Leo looked at Sabine with disappointment and suspicion. Even her father comforted Ava and promised her a prettier dress. Watching them gather around Ava, Sabine finally understood — in this family, she was the extra person.

Episode 7

Sabine returns home only to grab her passport and documents, with Chloe offering to come in for backup. Inside, Ava is lounging on the sofa, smug and dry-eyed — nothing like the girl Marco claimed was crying. She taunts Sabine about the failed wedding and the ruined dress, assuming Marco poured the wine. Sabine corrects her: it was Leo. Ava's face freezes, then she turns agitated, grabbing Sabine's wrist and insisting she won, that Sabine lost. When Sabine pushes her away, Ava screams and slams into the display cabinet by the wall.

If you want to see how far Ava's spiral goes and whether Sabine ever gets her life back, this one's worth hitting play on tonight.
