Second Chance, Double Trouble

Lorraine discovered she was pregnant and was about to share the good news with Andrew — but instead, Andrew brought his first love, Lucy, home with him. Provoked by Lucy's schemes, the two argued and impulsively divorced. Nine months later, Andrew accidentally found Lorraine's pregnancy report and searched the entire city for her. By then, Lorraine had given birth to twins and was forced to give their firstborn, Chris, to Andrew, then faked her own death to escape. Eight years later, Lorraine returned to the country with her second child, Alex, for work, and reunited with Andrew. With the twins' help, the two gradually noticed the changes in each other — and their prejudice toward one another began to shift…

Story Guide

Episode 1

Lorraine is back in the country with her son Alex, and he's already asking the question she dreads: did they come home to find his dad? She tells him his father isn't with them anymore — spinning a story about lightning that Alex, sharp for his age, refuses to buy. Eight years ago, she was pregnant with twins when Andrew's childhood sweetheart framed her. She filed for divorce, faked her death, and walked away from everything.

Across town, Andrew is managing a fragile Chris, who's getting worse and refuses to accept Lucy's help — he only wants his mother. Lucy has flown in a doctor for him, but Chris won't budge. The episode ends with Lorraine's quiet wish: if only she were alive, everything would have been better.

Episode 2

Alex runs into a stranger who looks startlingly like him, and the kid isn't shy about it — he asks the man straight out if he's his daddy. Andrew brushes him off, insisting he's not his father, but the resemblance rattles him. The boy even says he looks exactly like the dad from his dreams.

Then Lorraine appears, and Andrew freezes. He greets her, assuming Chris is with her, but the child beside her isn't Chris at all. Confused, he notes how much the boy looks like his son, then pushes it aside — the doctor is already on the way to the villa. Lorraine is left shaken, certain she just heard Andrew's voice.

Episode 3

Andrew can't shake the feeling he's seeing Lorraine everywhere, even though she supposedly left them eight years ago. Lucy seizes the moment, reminding him how much she's done for Chris and hinting it's finally time he moved on with her. Andrew shuts it down: he's always seen Lucy as a sister, and Lorraine is still his wife and Chris's mother. Furious, Lucy vows that even dead, Lorraine won't stand in her way.

At Lorraine's office, everyone's buzzing about the rich new CEO buying the company. Lorraine insists she's not competing — she has an eight-year-old kid. Then the CEO's office calls for her. She's introduced as Lori, the French-trained designer, just as Andrew's inspection begins.

Episode 4

Andrew and Alan spot the new designer, and Andrew's world tilts — she looks exactly like Lorraine. When she confirms it's her, he explodes. He accuses her of faking her death eight years ago just to abandon him and Chris, while he raised their son alone and Chris grew up without a mother.

Lorraine insists she had no choice, that she did what was best for Chris, and begs to see him — just one glance. Andrew refuses coldly and tells her to get out. Then he hands her a stack of files: if she wants anything, she'll work for it, sorting everything by the end of the day.

Episode 5

Lorraine finishes the paperwork and asks again to see Chris. Andrew refuses, accusing her of using their son to torture him. He throws the pain back at her — nothing she's suffered compares to what Chris endured because of her.

Lucy walks in and finds Lorraine alive, and the room turns hostile. Andrew calls it a private matter and tells Lucy to stay out of it. But Lucy fires back that Lorraine's return changes nothing: she claims Andrew is hers and they're getting married. She taunts Lorraine that once the wedding happens, Chris will only call her mommy. Alone, Lorraine whispers to her son that she misses him every single day.

Episode 6

Chris refuses to touch his food, and it's not about the cooking. He confronts Andrew: he knows they found his mommy, so why hasn't he been taken to see her? When Lucy insists Lorraine doesn't deserve to be his mother, Chris pushes back hard, calling her the best mom in the whole world. He won't eat a single bite until he sees her.

Andrew finally relents, agreeing to take Chris to Lorraine as long as he eats afterward — and Chris promises. Later, Lorraine admits to Alex that leaving Chris behind is her deepest regret, even though she took Alex to escape the manhunt. Alex reassures her he'll get her food, then drops a bombshell about dad.

If you've been waiting for a reunion that hurts before it heals, this one's worth hitting play on tonight.
