Yet another Gardenia's old date, Brett, asked her out. She didn't go. And Alice, the girl who helped her slay the mother plant, wanted to set her up with a friend of hers. No thanks. Gardenia finally felt she was set for life.

Except, Juliet wasn't doing good at all.
Little Todd came in from the outside too to see what was happening.
No! The big black man was taking Juliet away!
Francis strengthened her spirit's connection straight away though.
Mum gave Todd a comforting hug. Peppa was sad too.
But then got angry and agressive.
Go Peppa!
You don't mess with her friends!

As one part of a relationship was ruined and gone in the family, Gardenia wanted to make sure Francis' ex-wifeand son were okay with their new relationship.
She suggested meeting up with them.
Gardenia and the ex-wife Madeline got on very well.
G also talked to Francis' son.
Everything seemed to go smoothly so everyone went out to dinner too.
Gardenia was doing good with the other mother and son. But Francis' attempts to talk weren't taken so well.
After the dinner, Madeline and her son went home but the fam stopped by the library so Francis could use the computer and do some work things. Oh yeah, Todd had been with them the whole time too. He played at the playhouse on his own and wandered around the restaurant and ate some food that dad ordered for him.

After getting back home from it all...
Gardenia started having doubts about Francis and future with him. Plus Todd didn't like his negativity.
Todd and Francis' relationship wasin the red. It was difficult and Todd was sad around him. Francis' negativity had got to the family.
Little Todd found solace in Peppa and even became companions with her.

Also Gardenia received fanmail again. It probably would have cheered her up too but the chocolate cupcake had gone off, again.
