7. The Pratt family sits down, ready to enjoy the great dinner that Mimi cooked to celebrate her birthday. While they are waiting for Mimi, Candy asks Spencer about Rena. Spencer, too embarrassed to talk about his love life with his mother, avoids answering by stuffing his mouth with food.
8. Mimi joins them at the table. Candy reflects on how great it’s been having her good friend Mimi around to help her run the house.
9. Spencer comes up with the idea to send Mimi away on a vacation to celebrate her birthday. Mimi has other ideas.
10. Mimi decides to wait to tell the family her plans. She wants to be sure that they are finalized before she reveals anything.
12. Candy gets ready to go to bed so that she is fresh for her first day back to work in a week. Mimi loves being an elder, but she’s not feeling the gray hair, so she decides to go to her room to dye her hair.
13. After discovering plumbing problems in a couple of the bathrooms, Mimi calls for repair service. When the repair woman arrives, actually repairing something is the last thing on her mind. She throws herself a private party in Spencer’s bedroom.
14. Spencer goes up to his room and catches the repair lady slacking off and dancing in his room. None of the sinks have been fixed.
20. Spencer lets them know how displeased he is with the repair person that they sent.
21. They apologize and agree to send out a new repair person right away. Once the sinks have finally been repaired, Spencer goes to bed.
22. Candy wakes up hours before she has to be at work. Going back to work has been on her mind all night, affecting her ability to sleep.
23. Gwendolyn is also up early. There is just enough darkness left for her to explore with the telescope.
24. Candy takes a relaxing bubble bath to prepare for her day.
25. If all goes well, today is the day that Candy will be promoted to the top of the business field. This is what she has been working on her whole life.
27. She spots a satellite in her high powered telescope.
28. Now that day light is approaching, she also sees a few things that she’d rather not see.
29. Candy is tranquil after her bubble bath and ready to be back in charge.
30. Spencer is also up and ready to start his day. He works his brain out by attempting to solve an “unsolvable” problem on his computer.
31. Candy eats a simple breakfast. She’s careful not to overeat to avoid being sluggish at work. She wants to be at the top of her game.
32. Candy never wants to take such a long break from work again. Being away from the office so long nearly drove her crazy.
33. Mimi stayed up late dying her hair, so she is sleeping in this morning.
34. Even after sleeping in, she’s still exhausted and not looking forward to cleaning the Pratt’s large house. Today is the day that she must let Candy know that she has purchased her own home and is ready to begin a new phase of her life.
35. Candy is already on her way to work, so Mimi will have to wait until she returns to reveal her plans.
