There is a fork in the road that leads out of Bluewater to the left is the vast green valley of Desiderata to the right are the lush hills of Riverblossom. It is in Desiderata Valley that we find desires, deception divorce and calling the dead to lend a helping hand.  

Looking in on the Contrary family how Edward and Opal desiring to have a  second chance  with not only one another but also with their son Rick as if it were a  dream both Opal and Edward could see into the future with how their toddler Rick would turn out.  It was not as most  parents would expect their child-hating them so much that the house would be in constant turmoil nor the fact that they themselves did not get along.  But that was just a dream for when morning came it was just as they remembered living with Edward's  parents and Opal's  mother and father visiting their  new grandchild.  Or was it a  dream for Opal because in her vision she had been so fed up that she hooked up  with Whitewater's hot pro  Athlete Daniel Pleasant at the gym and those all too familiar chimes started clanging  away.  Opal and Edward awoke the next  morning to the  smell of coffee  and bacon and  eggs from the kitchen  ever so  cautiously they entered  to find  Opal's  mother  Stormy feeding a  pint-sized  Rick  while Edward's mother was preparing  breakfast  both  of  their father's  sitting at the  kitchen table discussing the latest  results  from the  last night's   llama game. Whew thought Opal there was no one night stand with the player Daniel Pleasant until that wave of nausea overcoming her.

 Over at the Moles, John awoke from his dream not knowing if it was time to go to school or off to work at the SCIA .  Ashe  opened  his eyes his  mother Lucy was telling him that it was  time to get ready for his first day at private school, to John that dream was so real  that he had problems grasping the idea that he was still a kid  whose  grandparents Alistair and  Becky were there for an extended visit because of the arrival of  his new sister Lucinda.  His  Dad  James was still a Doctor at the SimPE foundation, but this time around he had a new BFF, a  girl by the name of Chloe Curious.

Trouble brewed then overflowed in the Aspir home.  While Victor was pressuring his wife Elizabeth for another child.  His father Luis was in the midst of calling his wife in Takemizu to come home to help because with the problems that their son and daughter in law were having that he alone couldn't take care of little Pauline.  Luis forced out of retirement decided to reopen his  Architecture firm due to Victor deciding to quit his job at the hospital and who knows about Elizabeth because she was never home due to her  “business trips”.   It just so happened that on one of the rare occasions that Elizabeth was home   Victor tried to please his wife by making an elaborate dinner.  Elizabeth informed him that it was a  lovely thought and while he went to the grocer's to get everything for the Lobster Thermidor dinner upon his return  to his horror he caught  his wife with her co-worker Checo Ramirez, in let's say, a very compromising position!  That was it for Victor all those business trips and late night at the office was nothing more than a  cover for his wife's philandering!  Divorce proceedings began immediately and Elizabeth called her  mother Diane and asked if she could come back home for awhile.

At the Jocque home, Sophia too had lent a helping hand to her friend Bob Newbie's campaign for Mayor of Whitewater. And like the other women who helped out, she too succumbed to his charms and an affair transpired.   All the while husband Marcel was studying diligently at the Cordon Bleu  Culinary Academy.  They were so  proud of  their daughter Viola  who was  an overachiever in school pulling straight A's that they decided  to have a party for her in attendance  were her grandparents who  took  the time to give her guidance on what kind of career path to take she was most influenced  by her grandfather Jocque  who  was  in show business .  The lights, the glamor, that's what Violet wanted.  Violet brought home a friend from school Marissa  Rutherford and they found that they had so much in common and not only that but also a very strong attraction as well.  Violet knew that Marissa had been going with a boy at school  Jason Cleveland and  she had a baby but that was ok with her.   But it was love at first sight for her and  Marissa now not only are they BFF's  but also going steady with plans of attending the same  University.

 Hannah  Bell was a  backup Dancer and it was her troupe that was selected to perform at the halftime show at one of the Llama games .  It was there that she met the dashing center player Santana Contender.  It was after the game that they spent some time in the locker room, well as we know with those Llama players one thing always leads  to another and Hannah found her and  Santana in  a  very torrid affair.  It was a  good thing that the paparazzi was not around because if anyone one would catch wind of  this indiscretion it would be the end of her marriage to husband Issac.  It was a  few weeks later that she found herself praying to the great white porcelain God that she knew that a  nooboo was on it's  way.   But who is the father Santana or husband Issac?  Meanwhile, her sister Sharon the wild child was having an affair with another player from the team Daniel Pleasant and she too was getting the queasies.  Elated over the probability of becoming a father again Issac called his parents to come and help out at the same time Hannah informed Sharon that maybe she should find a  place of her own because of the upcoming birth.  So Sharon called  mom  and  dad  to ask if  she could  move back home.  It was strange on the day that Hannah gave birth to her daughter Milagro a woman came over for a visit her name was Magadelna Contender....Santanna's  wife!

Alexi and Katerina didn't mind helping their daughter Natasha with her 3 children Provolone, Muenster, and Havarti.  They even bought her a  restaurant The Grilled Cheese  Factory.  But Natasha consumed herself with the children and lived off of the child support that she received from their father  Daniel Pleasant.   Natasha was  content with her life making Grilled  Cheese and eating it.  It was almost time for the trips to age to children and Natasha's mother  Katerina was about to have another child .   It was Alexi who called and paid for a Matchmaker to come and set his daughter up on a blind date hoping to get her married off.  Not really enthused about this dating thing Natasha reluctantly agreed to the date.  Boy, was she not sorry that her dad did this, for it was  3 bolts and love at first sight with Elementary School Teacher Benjamin Cho (formerly from Olive Specter's  Graveyard).  An engagement was proposed and a wedding day set by the end of the date. Benjamin moved in for those 2 days before the wedding where he got to know and bonded with the children and agreed to be their stepfather.  Saturday came and the house was abuzz with preparations the yard work was done the cake and catering arrived on time and soon guests began to appear. But first before the wedding festivities would begin Katerina would  give birth to a daughter Luna and Provolone, Muenster and  Havarti would have their birthdays and finally, it was time for Natasha and  Benjamin.  The first to congratulate them was  Daniel Pleasant who began to inquire beings that Natasha was now married does that mean he still has to pay child support?
