During her honeymoon, Sara receives a frantic call from her mother-in-law, Carolyn, claiming something terrible has happened to her son, James. Panicked, Sara and her new husband Albert rush home—only to find James safe, happily watching cartoons.
Carolyn admits she lied. She wanted to attend a weekend getaway with a new romantic interest and didn’t want to leave James alone, so she fabricated an emergency to get Sara home. Sara is devastated by the betrayal.
Carolyn’s overbearing nature had already caused tension, but this crossed a line. Despite her apologies and promises to make amends, Sara tells her bluntly: she won’t be left alone with James again until trust is rebuilt.
In the aftermath, Sara finds solace in a quiet picnic with Albert and James. Though shaken, she realizes the importance of setting boundaries—even with family. And she knows one thing for sure: she’ll always protect her son, no matter what.
