Story Guide

Episode 1

Two women give birth on the same day, and Fiona, head of the Blackwood Group, marks the moment with matching lucky pendants for the babies. She tells her assistant Allison to call her by name, to move into the estate with her brother, and to lean on her—Allison's husband Tom died in a crash while driving from Fiona. But once Fiona is resting, Allison's mask slips. She rages about always finishing second to Fiona, admits she told Tom to stage an accident and take Fiona out, and lands on a crueler plan: if she can't break Fiona, she'll make sure Fiona's daughter is broken instead.

Episode 2

Years later, Allison's contempt for Daisy is on full display—hitting her, calling her worthless, refusing to stop. Fiona cuts in, then gathers everyone to plan the girls' coming-of-age ceremony, where she intends to hand the company to Olivia. Allison sees her opening: once Olivia holds the company, she'll claim her and throw Fiona out. Fiona has a counter of her own. She confronts Allison directly—you think you're torturing my daughter, but you don't even know Daisy is your own flesh and blood. Allison doesn't realize the ground beneath her is already gone.

Episode 3

Olivia invites Daisy into her room and offers her a gown her godmother gave her, insisting she wear it to the ceremony. When Allison sees Daisy in Olivia's dress, she explodes, but Olivia takes the blame and asks her not to hit Daisy. Fiona steps in, complimenting Daisy and gifting her a pair of shoes for her coming of age. Allison orders Daisy to strip the dress off, calling her undeserving. Fiona pushes back—Olivia has plenty of dresses, and Daisy shouldn't have to show up in rags on her big day. Allison's answer is pure venom: scum like her belongs in rags.

Episode 4

Allison's cruelty turns physical. When Daisy doesn't move fast enough, Allison tears the dress off her, and Daisy ends up bleeding. Olivia tries to help, but Allison shoves her away, calling Daisy filthy and screaming that she ruined the dress. Fiona finally shuts it down, telling Allison she's scaring the girls. Later, Fiona comforts Daisy, who quietly wishes Fiona were her mother. Fiona warns Allison to enjoy her moment—the higher you climb, the harder you'll fall. Even outsiders start to notice how Allison treats her own daughter, and a warning lands: you'll regret this when the truth comes out.

Episode 5

Daisy's leg is hurt, but Allison shrugs it off—she ruined Olivia's dress, so she earned it. She threatens to lock Daisy in a storage closet so nothing spoils Olivia's ceremony, and insists Daisy's job is to carry Olivia's train. When Olivia cuts her hand cleaning up broken glass, Allison erupts over how precious Olivia's hands are for her piano performance. Fiona fires back: Daisy's hands are still bandaged, yet Allison doesn't blink. The contrast is so glaring that someone says it out loud—anyone watching would think Olivia was Allison's daughter.

Episode 6

The company transfer to Olivia is set, and Fiona keeps her promised surprise under wraps. Allison gloats that once Olivia takes over, she'll drop the truth and the Blackwood Group will be hers. She sends Marcus to pick up the DNA results. Guests whisper about the girl beside Olivia, mistaking Daisy for a helper. Fiona tells Allison that today she'll make her regret everything she's done, while Allison savors the moment she thinks she'll break Fiona. Both women are certain they're about to win—only one of them actually knows what the DNA report will say.

Episode 7

At the ceremony, Fiona toasts both girls, then announces she's stepping down and names Olivia as the new CEO of the Blackwood Group. She recounts Olivia's achievements—MIT at fifteen, years of interning, the board's full approval—and tells her she's destined for a brilliant life. Guests wonder why Fiona is so emotional over a daughter who, they murmur, isn't even hers. Fiona then asks Allison whether she prepared a gift for Daisy. Allison says she did, and it's a big one—she's just not sure Fiona can handle it. Then Allison turns to Olivia and drops the godmother title.

Episode 8

Allison publicly declares she's Olivia's real mother. She spins a story: a retired nurse, dying and guilt-ridden, confessed to swapping the babies at birth. Allison claims she raised Daisy for eighteen years out of duty, and now she wants her real daughter back—pointing to Daisy's bruises as proof of her own "tough love." She says she ran a DNA test and Marcus is fetching the results. Fiona doesn't flinch. She says she's always known, and that Olivia has been drawn to her since childhood. The room reels as Allison insists the DNA doesn't lie.

Episode 9

Allison can't wait for the paperwork—she declares Olivia her daughter and admits she swapped the babies with her own two hands. Fiona warns that the results aren't even in, and that Allison is shredding both girls by jumping the gun. Others defend Fiona, recalling eighteen years of love and sacrifice poured into Olivia. Allison brushes it off as a mother's heart, certain the report will prove her right. Marcus finally arrives with the envelope, and Fiona plants a quiet doubt: maybe that report doesn't say what Allison thinks. Allison demands he read it now.

Will the DNA report give Allison her victory—or hand Fiona the last move? Watch and find out.
