Marcel & Sophia

Marcel has taken up candy making at Sue's Secret Kitchen as a side job. He finds more pleasure in it than being a shift manager at that bistro.

Gavin: Nice laptop. Is that from a scholarship?

Rick: Oh no, it's Violet's, she left it here, I'm taking it back to her today.

Gavin: Oh, did you guys like... break up, or...?

Rick: No, she just moved into the sorority...

Gavin: Right, now that you say that, quite a lot of people left the dorm this week. I just assumed they were dropping out! ... Actually, I don't know why anyone would want to live in a Greek house. And I don't know why you would let your girlfriend move into a Greek house and leave you behind like this. You do know your relationship is bound to fail now, right?

Rick: ....

Gavin: You know, if you're lonely, you can hang out with me and Melody any time.

Rick: Thanks.

Gavin: Or better yet, I could introduce you to my sister!

Rick: Gavin, your sister is my ex, remember? 10th grade...?

Gavin: Damn, just how much pot did I smoke in high school?

Tara: ... Hermia, please believe me when I say: that woman is evil. It's like she has people around her fooled somehow, but I see something is terribly off about her.

Hermia: Look, I understand it's hard to see your dad get remarried, but—

Tara: No, this has nothing to do with her being my step-adoptive-mum, and everything to do with her being a despicable human being, if she even is human... If she ends up as the Workers' Party's mayoral candidate, I swear I'll lose all faith in that party.

Hermia: But... you'll still vote for her, right?

Tara: No! There is no way in hell I'll help that woman to power! It's all she's ever wanted, not to help people, not to make the world or even our city a better place, but just to hold all the power and use it against anyone she doesn't like.

Hermia: Well, be as it may, that is also what my narcissistic brother and his party want to achieve, and you know we can not let that happen, under any circumstance.

Tara: I'm not voting for the conservatives, don't worry. I'll settle for the liberal democrats.

Hermia: I don't want to settle for the worse progressive party. I just hope Monica Bratford gets the WP's mayoral candidacy over Kimberly, ugh.

Due to her influential father pulling some strings, Tara gained admission to Landgrabb Society the very first day she started at SSU, and has been visiting their headquarters to prepare for classes and exams ever since.

Girl: Did you guys know that Maclom Landgrabb, the guy who founded Landgrabb Society in 1789, still has descendants in powerful positions in business today?

Tara: Well, that's just basic lore, everybody knows that! I mean, it should be pretty obvious by the name...

Girl: Why, who do you know by the name Landgrabb?

Tara: *sighs* Malcolm Landgraab, the fourth...

Girl: Wow, okay diplomacy major...

Tara: Oh no, it's not that, actually he is just business partners with my dad.

Tara is determined to do exceptionally well in her diplomacy course, even when it means grinding on the treadmill for those body skill points, even though she is not naturally comfortable in the gym.

Sharon finally moved out of her sister's house and into an apartment in Belladonna Cove with her boyfriend Pierce Johnson (who will be running for district rep for BC in the upcoming elections btw). However, Hannah had never realised how much her family had been depending on Sharon's help while she was living there, both financially (with her gone, the Bell family budget has plummeted almost to zero) and with looking after little Caden.

Sharon also got promoted to interpretive dancer and gave performances regularly, while Hannah was still teaching ballet classes to kids in the studio. She was trying hard to hide it but she felt jealous of her sister's success and began second guessing whether she was satisfied with how her life had turned out.

Hermia: So I just got this weird text from my sister – she said we should move in with her and Romeo after college?! She also said this house might get sold right after we move out – I can't keep up with what's going on back at home anymore.

Romeo: Julie, listen to me. I know you wanted a mansion, but this place is insanely huge for just the two of us. Paying off the loan is one thing, but we can't even keep up with the bills. We need to do something before we go into more debt.

Juliette: Well, I can't ask my family for any more financial support. We blew that when I married you.

Romeo: I know, I was thinking more like... we might have to get side jobs. My family is clearly not going to let us share the profits of the trattoria either.

Juliette: Wait, I just thought of something. Hermia and Puck graduate soon. They have no funds for a place of their own either. Maybe they could move in with us for a while and pay us rent.

Romeo: You wanna charge your sister to live with us?

Juliette: Well, I love her, but just because we're family doesn't mean I have to be an endless favour machine! I know you do it differently in your family, but the whole thing is because we need the money, so yes, I'm gonna have to.

Romeo: You know what? It could work.

Juliette: Great, I'll have a chat with her.

Romeo and Juliette found themselves in a bit of a tricky situation. They got married and moved into a huge house they can't afford on a loan they might never be able to pay off, especially working as simple employees in the Monty family restaurant, not even getting a share of the profit. To cut back on costs, they started growing their own tomatoes to cook with. It's... a start.

Regan: So, with most of the head office still under construction, I hope you all don't mind having to hold this board meeting here in our home once again. Which brings me to the first point on the agenda... The reconstruction of the office has gone over budget, and with the bad financial year we had last year, I'm afraid it means we might have to rethink some of our investments.

Ellen: If I may have a suggestion... I don't see why keeping the estate in Académie Le Tour is necessary.

Regan: Good thinking, Vice President.

Goneril: But— I thought you had fond memories of your time spent in that house, Elena. Plus, Hal and Desdemona are going to college soon, am I supposed to send them to live in the dorms?!

Ellen: Look, it's simply not worth it to maintain that big house for a maximum of one of two students at a time to live in it. Sure, we could rent it to other students, but then what would be the point of the elite accommodation? We should simply sell it.

Goneril: Regan, do you agree with this?

Regan: Well, I can see why you'd consider keeping the house a long term investment in our family's future, it's not that I don't want the best for my children for when they get to college, but the truth is, we need short term solutions now. So yes, putting it on the market after Miranda and Hermia graduate and sharing the profit among all eligible Capps would be the logical thing to do.

Goneril: But that estate is something our father was so proud to have built for his grandchildren. It was his dream to see it get a charter and become a Greek house one day. That dream is now going to be out of reach forever...

Regan: Goneril, please be reasonable here. It simply doesn't make sense to keep the house. We need the money, as bad as that sounds. And with all due respect, you're only a honorary board member... and it's not hard to see why. ... So, all in favour say 'aye'.

Ellen: Aye.

Cornwall: Aye.

Goneril: *sigh*

Ellen: By the way, Regan, where is that lovely baby chair from?

Regan: Oh, it was a gift from a business partner if I recall. But I can just give it to you, Cosima has almost outgrown it now. ... Unless of course you have the misfortune of having a boy.

Goneril: You wouldn't want that, would you? To end up like Regan, with a male firstborn... As much as I love Constantin – oh, AND Clement –, I just wouldn't wish that on a Capp mother.

Tybalt: You're already doing us all proud, darling.

Ellen: It sure doesn't feel like that with all the ancestral ghosts haunting me at night in this house, it's like they're all out to get me. I hope my pregnancy earns me their approval.

Tybalt: I was talking to the baby.

Ellen has mostly assimilated into the Capp family by now, but one thing she can not get used to is the ghosts of the ancestors around the manor at night.

Ellen: Cordelia?! I know I'm not what you had in mind for your son, just let me go to the kitchen for a glass of water, please!

Ellen: Oh Consort, just you again... What I'd give to have you still here to protect us from all this haunting. Can you tell them we're doing a good job at serving the family so they'll calm down??

Ellen: Tybalt!!! Where on EARTH are you??? It's 2 AM and your grandmother just jumped out of the fireplace again!!! TYBALT!!! You need to do something!!!

Tybalt: The Montys... have overstayed their welcome in Veronaville. It's time to get rid of them... once and for all...

Ellen: Honey, I couldn't agree more, but you're starting to act a little... possessed. Has something happened recently? Have they done something again?

Tybalt: Do I need a specific reason to want them gone? They're ruining this town. Just their... presense... with their stupid tanned skin and pasta dishes... the locals think they're some godsend because they feed them spaghetti for 3 bucks a bowl and smile at them in the streets like psychopaths.

Ellen: Okay... and what do you think we should do?

Tybalt: I need to win the local elections. I need to be district rep. Then I'm sure I can start an investigation into their "business" and get it shut down with a lawsuit or something.

Ellen: That's if you win the vote. And we still have two years to go.

Tybalt: You're right. In the meantime, we should also consider expanding our family on the same level.

Ellen: What do you mean?

Tybalt: I know Auntie Regan just gave birth to her heir, but so did Mercutio, and who knows what Romeo has planned with my sister, so the game is on for our generation. We can't stay behind.

Ellen: Maybe you're right, we can't let them outnumber us. It's time for me to bring a Capp into the world. Maybe that will help your aunt Regan see me as more of an equal on the board of the company, too.
