Story Guide
Episode 1
Leo Reed has a plan: find his beautiful mommy a husband. The kid stands on the street handing out flyers with Lily's picture, interviewing candidates like a tiny matchmaker — and rejecting them all. "None of you are good enough for my mommy." Then a serious, handsome man catches his eye, and Leo decides he might just be daddy material. He climbs straight into the stranger's car. Inside, the man's colleagues are stunned: the famously single CEO, with a son who looks exactly like him? The man studies the boy, and something about those unusually bright eyes feels familiar. Leo hands over his flyer. Then Lily arrives — and freezes. Why does this man seem so familiar?
Episode 2
Lily scolds Leo for getting into a stranger's car and for the banner and flyers he made behind her back. Leo explains he only wanted to find her a husband now that they're home, but Lily shuts it down — she's all he needs. When Leo asks about his daddy, Lily says his father is dead, refusing to let that man anywhere near them. Leo takes matters into his own hands and keeps distributing flyers. Meanwhile, Liam can't shake the boy's eyes — just like the woman from that night five years ago. Lily, determined to earn more, finally lands a small villain role with a single line. Then her phone rings: Leo is missing.
Episode 3
Lily is mid-scene when the call comes. She tells Harvey she has to leave, and he doesn't hold back — walk out today and the role is gone, and she'll never work in this industry again. Lily apologizes and quits anyway. She calls the number and demands to know where her son is. The man on the line says Leo got into the wrong car and is at his company; she can come pick him up. In the background, someone asks if he's sure he won't reconsider. He's certain. And the whispers start: what a shame that child isn't his — though Mr. Prescott isn't even married.
Episode 4
Lily rushes into Liam Prescott's office and finds Leo safe, then tears into him for scaring her. Leo, unbothered, insists the mix-up was fate — they were meant to meet this handsome man. He introduces himself to Liam as Leo Reed and promptly announces that since the handsome man helped them, they must repay the favor. His solution: invite him home for dinner. Liam accepts. Leo beams. Lily can only wonder if her son understands what he's just done. Liam's attention catches on something the boy is wearing — a detail that seems to stir a memory.
Episode 5
Liam actually says yes, leaving Lily stunned that no one asked her opinion. His assistant reminds him of an afternoon meeting, but the city's most elusive bachelor has already accepted a dinner invitation. At home, their neighbor David shows up — the persistent suitor who claims he's spent a fortune on Lily and calls her greedy and manipulative, even as he insists he likes her playing hard to get. Leo bluntly corrects him: he wasn't calling David handsome. Inside, Leo keeps advertising his mother's cooking, flower arranging, and baking to Liam. Liam notices the ring hanging around the boy's neck and asks about it.
Episode 6
Leo explains the ring was his mommy's — she said daddy left it behind. Liam recognizes it instantly: it's the ring he left with that woman five years ago. When Leo repeats that his daddy is dead, Liam's expression hardens. Leo, still campaigning, asks whether Liam will become his daddy. He says he isn't this nice to just anyone. Then Liam suddenly makes an excuse and leaves, pressing his private number on Leo and telling him to call if anything happens. Alone, Liam admits a ring proves nothing. He needs a DNA test.
Episode 7
Leo comes home disappointed — the handsome man had an emergency and left. Lily scolds him for inviting a stranger home, warning it could be dangerous, and threatens to send him back overseas if he disobeys again. Leo promises to stop, but privately he's still convinced that man is perfect — if only he were his daddy, he could protect Lily from David. At Liam's company, the DNA results arrive. Congratulations: he's a dad. The boy really is his son. Liam realizes she must be the woman from five years ago. After all this time, he's finally found her. Bring them here.
Episode 8
Lily returns to the set, knowing walking off cost her leverage. Harvey is furious — she left without permission and now expects her role back? A rival actress, who took over Lily's old part, is thrilled to see her humiliated. But Lily stands her ground: plenty of pretty faces exist, yet few can actually act, and she has both. Harvey can't deny she's the most gifted in the group. Someone suggests the open stand-in position. Lily accepts. Her rival smirks, certain this will keep Lily down for good — and promises she'll never bounce back.
Episode 9
Men in suits escort Lily to see their CEO — and it's him. The man Leo brought home. Leo is already there, happily eating the snacks the handsome man gave him. Lily demands to know why they've been brought here; she already thanked him for helping Leo. Liam mentions he heard the boy's father is dead, then asks what she meant by that. He orders Leo taken upstairs, but the boy refuses to leave his mother's side, insisting he has to protect her. Then Liam drops it: how long will she keep pretending? Leo is his son.
