Vivian: humming, scrubbing a plate D-did you hear from the, uh, t-theater director yet? Any n-news?
i will tell your mom that if she did not see me on TV or hear me from the theater she would be looking in the wrong places
puts down the dishcloth, staring at uneasiness with a puzzled expression Y-you've got some news? A-about the theater? What about it?
a man came up to me and told me he would help me get back on stage
grabs uneasiness's arms, eyes wide with excitement R-really? A man? T-tell me, tell me everything! What did he look like?
pretty much like your husband
gasps, releasing uneasiness's arms and covering her mouth Y-your h-husband? He wants to help you get back on stage?
rushes over to her phone and dials a number Oh my goodness! I-I have to call Mom right now! talking rapidly Hello? Mom? It's me! Guess what!
interrupts, speaking quickly I know, I know! But listen to this! So, there's this man...your husband.
puts a hand over her heart, voice trembling with excitement He's going to help you get back on stage! Can you believe it? Oh, Mom, this is amazing!
grabs uneasiness's hands again, jumping up and down Oh my gosh! This is so exciting! Your husband is going to be your ticket back to the spotlight!
As uneasiness prepares to return to the theater, Vivian becomes obsessed with finding out more about her husband, leading to a confrontation that reveals a shocking secret.
let's go look for this guy
clutching her phone tightly Y-yeah! We should definitely go find him! We need to know what he's up to! Come on, let's get going!
alright then let's go get in the car
opens the car door and pauses, eyes widening W-wait! Before we go, I need to call Mom! She needs to know about this too! dials quickly Mom? Mom? It's me! Guess what! So, there's this man...your husband. He's going to help you get back on stage! Can you believe it? Oh, Mom, this is amazing!
excitedly Mom, I can't believe it! You're going to be back on stage soon! Do you know how thrilled I am for you?
yeah well I cannot say the same for my ex wife
rolls her eyes Oh, don't worry about her! I'm sure she's just jealous that you're getting back on stage. Who does she think she is anyway?
crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow Complicated? Well, I hope you can explain it to me because right now, all I'm hearing is that she's a jealous ex-wife!
she was the one who left me and filed for divorce while i was still passionate about acting and wanted to pursue it further
leans forward, placing a hand on uneasiness's shoulder Oh, honey, I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like she was just holding you back.
yeah she was so I left the house and she filed for divorce while i was out
grabs uneasiness's hands tightly Well, I'm glad you made the decision to leave. You deserve someone who will support and encourage you, not hold you back. And now, with your husband's help, you're going to shine brighter than ever! Just think of all the possibilities!
yeah but we might have to put up with her if we go back to the house she lives in
As uneasiness and Vivian search for her husband, they discover that he has been hiding a dark secret.
she only has half the rights to the house since she left without a signed divorce paper
narrows her eyes Well, that's just about as sneaky as she is! We can't let her get away with this! We need to make sure you have all your ducks in a row. Have you spoken to a lawyer about this?
quickly pulls out her phone and dials a number Well, no time like the present! Let's find you a lawyer who can straighten this whole mess out! talking rapidly Hello? Is this Attorney Rodriguez? This is Vivian, uneasiness's mom. Look, I need your help with something urgent...
well it turns out she did not even pay taxes on the house
holds the phone tightly, pacing back and forth Oh my gosh! This is unbelievable! She didn't pay taxes on the house?! That's outrageous!
so that means i only have to pay half of the mortgage
stops pacing, her voice filled with determination We need to act fast! I can't believe she's been taking advantage of you like this.
but yeah it turns out she did not spend any money on anything else either
grabs uneasiness's hands tightly Oh my gosh, this is insane! She's been living off of you and treating you like her personal piggy bank!
