Lydia’s intuition told her something was wrong, but her husband, Mark, brushed it off as overreacting when she voiced concerns about their daughter Ellie’s first sleepover. Despite Mark’s dismissal, Lydia’s unease only grew stronger. Then, Lydia received a phone call from Ellie, her voice trembling as she whispered, “Mom, I just saw a camera in the room.” Lydia’s instincts were suddenly validated, and she knew she had to act. Rushing to Kara’s house, Lydia’s anxiety was palpable. When Kara answered the door with a smug, almost rehearsed smile, Lydia didn’t waste a second. She barged past Kara and demanded to find Ellie, who ran into her arms in fear. Ellie mentioned seeing a camera, and Lydia’s suspicions turned to fury. Kara tried to brush it off, claiming the camera was there for safety, but Lydia wasn’t buying it. She demanded the footage be deleted immediately. As they left Kara’s house, Lydia’s tension only grew. Mark, who had always been dismissive of her concerns, suggested she was overreacting, even defending Kara’s actions. Lydia was livid, but the drive home was eerily quiet as she processed the disturbing situation. The next morning, Lydia discovered a chilling email from Kara to Mark about the footage, hinting at something even darker. Driven by a gut feeling, Lydia rushed back to Kara’s house, only to find Mark standing frozen in front of a laptop, with Kara by his side. The laptop screen revealed a video of Ellie saying she preferred being at Kara’s house instead of home, which struck Lydia like a slap. But before she could react, Emma, Kara’s daughter, confessed it was just a game — a setup orchestrated by Kara. The truth finally came out: Kara had been trying to manipulate both Ellie and Mark, harboring old resentments. Mark, shocked and angry, confronted Kara, and Lydia, without hesitation, took Ellie’s hand and walked out. As they drove home in silence, Lydia’s heart was heavy, but there was no more doubt in her mind. Mark, for the first time in years, stood by her side. The drive home was quiet, but as Mark apologized, Lydia squeezed his hand, silently affirming that, despite everything, they were in this together. The bonds between them were strengthened, and Lydia finally felt like they were on the same team
