Story Guide

Episode 1

Ivy is leaving home, and her masters aren't letting her go empty-handed. Faye, Elias, and Nathaniel are the last keepers of the old healing arts, and Ivy is their most gifted disciple—so they load her up with protective items, three properties, a card with a million on it, and a ring that opens any door in the Thorn network.

"You sure about this?" they ask. She's sure. She's marrying Ash.

The goodbye is warm, but one master lingers. Someone asks why he never told her how he feels. His answer: she grew up here, all she's ever known is them—and telling her now wouldn't be fair. He'll wait until she figures out who she is out there. Then he'll say it. That promise hangs over everything.

Episode 2

Ash's household runs on secrets. His mother's condition is critical, and an ingredient can't run out. More dangerous: nobody can learn Ash is adopted. If that gets out, he loses any claim to the inheritance, and all three of them get thrown out.

Meanwhile Luna—Ash's non-blood sister—is pregnant and staying with them. She asks Ash the question that says everything: once the baby comes, will she stop being his favorite? His answer is instant. No one could take her place. She'll always be his priority.

Then the plan slips out: once Ivy gives Ash a son, his position is solid. After that, he can divorce "that loser" and bring Luna home.

Episode 3

Luna's pregnancy is fragile, so she's staying in the house—and she wants Ivy's broth. Not the cook's. Ivy's. When Ivy offers to teach the cook instead, Ash tells her to show a little compassion for her sister-in-law. It's just broth. Fine.

So Ivy stands at the stove while Luna eats, and Ash gets served like the man of the house. "After the baby's born, do whatever you want," someone warns. "But until then, not a single slip."

Then it happens. Luna cries out that she's burned—her hand, her stomach. She begs Ash for help. Blood. The episode ends on that scream, and the question of who's really responsible.

Episode 4

At the hospital, Luna's hand and stomach hurt, and she panics about the baby. Ash takes her in. The baby's heartbeat is almost gone.

Ivy, meanwhile, is days from her own due date—and someone's already planning her baby shower. Three years of marriage, and the family wants to "show up in style." There's even talk of sending a five-million contract to the Sterlings so they'll treat Ivy better once they see what her real family can offer.

But in the chaos, Ivy's own pain gets buried. She calls out for Ash, asking if he even cares about their child. He doesn't answer her. He's with Luna.

Episode 5

Ivy wakes up asking one thing: where's her baby? She's told she got there too late. They couldn't save the child. Try not to get too upset.

Then the blow lands. Ash's mother says it plainly: thank God Luna's baby is fine. Now get back here and start getting ready for Luna's birthday party—they're doing it big to clear the bad energy.

Ash shrugs it off. She can have another one. She tripped on her own.

Ivy's response cuts through everything: her baby died, and no one cares. They want her to plan a party for the woman who did this to her. She says the only thing left to say—she needs to go home.

Episode 6

Ivy's masters finally arrive, eager to meet the baby. Instead they get the medical record: fetal death caused by maternal abdominal trauma, delayed response, fetal asphyxia. She was almost full term.

"How could this happen?" The Sterlings didn't take care of her. If they hurt her, there will be hell to pay. They head straight for the Sterlings.

At the birthday party, the family complains that Ivy didn't show up for Luna. The reply lands hard: she had a miscarriage yesterday. The dismissal is instant—she's not some princess. Then a warning: if anyone wrongs Luna again, they'll answer for it. And a quiet question back: if Luna is the most important person in your life, what am I?

If you've been waiting for the moment Ivy's real family shows up, this is the episode to press play on.
