  • #3 HOW TO GET OVER IT
    Mar 2 2026

    After seeing Evan kissing someone else, Cynthia struggles with jealousy, humiliation, and embarrassment. Looking for a place to cry, she walks in on a group of illicit pot smokers, then on a pair of grappling lovers, and then becomes a witness to forgery!

    Cynthia’s "Introduction to Guitar" class unexpectedly bucks up her spirits and after the ever-glamorous Senora Cordova encourages Cynthia to pull herself together, she meets up with Annabel and Mimi to leave for the U.S. Tennis Open, but they’re not even out of the school parking before Detective Fiducia arrives, triggering what will undoubtedly be a tidal wave of gossip across Brighton High.

  • STAY CALM AND CARRY ON — Season 2 Premiere
    Feb 14 2026

    Season 2, Episode 1: On the Valentine's Day premiere, Cynthia faces a day of crises — her father rushed to the hospital with a suspected heart attack while Clay lies injured and restrained after a violent incident. Between frantic phone calls, a mysterious tip about a mistaken abduction, and the arrival of a devoted housekeeper, Cynthia struggles to keep calm amid fear and uncertainty.

    Detective Fiduccia pursues leads, friendships are tested, and domestic life rearranges itself as the community rallies around the Seton family. The episode blends suspense, emotional family moments, and small acts of care that set the tone for the season.
