Terms of Enragement: Preston Pointe Your Luck to Newburyport Apartments

==Plot==
===Part 1===
The episode picks up where Breaking Boiling Point 3: Stand Against Furious Fear left off as Ava is in a difficult situation. She was slated to live at Preston Pointe at the Inverness, but something went wrong, forcing her to move to Newburyport Apartments. She hopes to move by July 1st at the earliest. Breeanna, along with Sierra, Lyssa, Ashli, Tabitha, Baby Kenny, Caprice, and Ella, are planning to confront someone named Karen at the leasing office there. 
Rachael arrives with Traci sharing her day with Ava, mentioning a disappointing vet visit for their new cat, Denali. Rachael mentions on her way home, she witnesses a street fight at Preston Pointe and saw Breeanna’s car driving away from the scene. 
In walks Breeanna, with a bucket of vegetarian Coney Dogs. Ava follows her into the kitchen and sees that her knuckles are swollen. She says "Oh, my God, Breeanna, you didn't KILL the property manager, and then go out for vegetarian Coney Dogs after picking up Sierra and Lyssa from day care did you?"
As they are relaxing in the living room, the Fort Wayne Police come for Breeanna. They are friends of the family, and feel terrible for arresting her, but charges are filed. Ava sticks a vegetarian Coney Dog in her mouth, as they take her away, joking. The officer tells Ava to hurry up and meet her at the police station with two hundred fifty dollars so she can be bailed out. Ava then asks Tabitha, Ashli, and Baby Kenny, to do her a favor. She needs them to buy milk and bail Breeanna out of jail. The children are shocked by this request.
Breeanna is in jail and her family comes to bail her out. Tabitha, Ava’s daughter, is the one who posts the bail because Baby Kenny is a minor even though Ashil is present. Breeanna is grateful but warns Tabitha that the bail money will come out of her allowance. Tabitha acknowledges that prison has hardened Breeanna and praises her for standing up for Ava, comparing it to an incident involving Ava in 1996. 
While Jim is taking Ava to Newburyport Apartments, Ashli, Tabitha, and Baby Kenny go to bail Breeanna out of prison. Ashli and Tabitha wryly joke that they'd always thought that it would be one of the kids on the other side of the bars instead of Breeanna. Breeanna groans, then tells Tabitha to let the bailiff know about the bail arriving, then Tabitha takes her stepmother back home, where word indeed has gotten out about the incident at Preston Pointe at The Inverness. 
Stories are flying about town, some as outrageous as claiming that Breeanna flattened six girls in a bowling alley or that Breeanna beat up several girls in a poker game. Karly, Traci, Rachael, Donna, Janice, and Arianna drop by also with more rumors the next morning. Even Ava comes back with news that she'd heard the gossip mill at the Stellhorn Road Target and Coldwater Road Walmart.
Karly confronts Breeanna about the rumors that she got into a fight with a property manager at Preston Pointe because Ava’s application was denied due to being short of $100. Breeanna confirms the rumors, stating that the property manager cheated Ava. Ava arrives home and then reveals to Breeanna that people at Target on Stellhorn, as well as Walmart on Coldwater Road and Kroger on Saint Joe Center Road are talking about Breeanna going on a drunken rampage and beating up six people. Traci, Rachael, Donna, and Donna's new girlfriend Janice, join the conversation, expressing their amusement at Breeanna’s adventure with Rachael playing the harmonica to the Roseanne theme. Ava then has a serious conversation with Sierra, Lyssa, Baby Kenny, Tabitha, and Ashli, about Breeanna’s jail time. She explains that Breeanna lost her cool and punched someone, which is usually a bad thing but sometimes can be justified. Jim is in shock over the development and now has to deal with his sister being in trouble now.
Jim then calls Breeanna into the back porch and tells Breeanna how upsetting this is for him as much it is for Ava. He has mixed feelings, however, about Breeanna's actions...on one hand, he's touched and grateful, but on the other hand, he wished she had thought first before jumping into Ava’s problem "like a mama bear protecting her cubs." Jim fears Ava’s problem with her income has been made more complicated by Breeanna's actions and by everyone knowing about it. Breeanna reassures Jim that according to many of the tale-bearers, the property manager is only one of several girls Breeanna beat up the night before.
Later Baby Kenny asks Breeanna why it is all right that adults sometimes lie, but not for kids. Ava, mistakenly thinks that Baby Kenny heard about his stepmother's being jailed, inadvertently tells him about it, only to discover that Baby Kenny didn't know about Breeanna's beating up the property manager at Preston Pointe. So, Breeanna has to tell Kenny (with Ashli, Tabitha, Sierra, Lyssa, Caprice, and Ella) about it, including the part about voucher discrimination. Kenny then asks about why some people think is "more" wrong to beat up a woman or trans man than a man or trans woman. 
The plot thickens when Baby Kenny asks who Breeanna hit, and Breeanna reveals that it was the property manager at Preston Pointe at the Inverness. Ava has a heart-to-heart conversation with Baby Kenny, Ashli, and Tabitha about the incident involving Breeanna. She explains that Breeanna’s actions were a response to discrimination against their father due to his low income. Ava emphasizes that it’s never okay to resort to violence, but there are times when standing up for someone you love might blur the lines. Ava also addresses Baby Kenny’s question about gender and violence. She explains that it’s not okay for anyone, regardless of their gender, to hit anyone else. However, she acknowledges that societal norms and expectations can sometimes create double standards.
The conversation takes a turn when Ava brings up Rachael, hinting at some past incident or behavior that sets her apart. The plot continues to explore themes of family dynamics, justice, and societal norms, with a focus on the consequences of one’s actions and the complexities of moral judgment. The year being 2024, not 1994, suggests a change in societal attitudes and norms over time. The story continues to unfold with these complex themes at its core.
===Part 2===
Part 2 begins with the Fort Wayne Police Department arriving at Ava's home on June 29, 2024, after they responded to a suicide threat and the doorbell rings, causing Ella to bark. Ava, through the doorbell, asks who it is and is informed that it's the police department and the reason for the police's visit is revealed - they received a concern that Ava was feeling low or something similar. Ava acknowledges this, saying, "Yeah. Sounds about right." There's a period of indistinct chatter, after which Ava starts to share her feelings. She mentions that the last time she felt like this, she was living in Marion, and it didn't end well. The rest of the conversation is inaudible. This part of the episode seems to delve into some serious and emotional territory, highlighting Ava's struggles and the concern of those around her. It adds a layer of depth to her character and the overall narrative of the show. It's clear that Ava is going through a difficult time, and it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.
The episode continues with Ava addressing Caprice and Ella via a security camera. She mentions that she just got back from the Fort Wayne Housing Authority (FWHA) and expresses her belief that she was either lied to by FWHA or FWHA made an honest mistake, and she's willing to believe both. Security guard George enters the scene and comments on how Ava gave everyone quite the scare on June 29. He had a strong feeling that Ava had a meltdown, similar to a past incident involving a warrant service that went wrong on January 10, 2024. Ava acknowledges George's help in recent times and then announces that she's taking George and the security team to get donuts at Dunkin' Donuts, a gesture Ava apparently has done 118 times over the past 25 years. George expresses his amazement at Ava's resilience despite being shaken up. He recalls the last time Ava had a panic attack, meltdown, and PTSD episode all at once while at the same time notes her recent drinking binges. Ava agrees with George's observations. Ava appreciates that she and George have been on the same page for the past 25 years. George affirms this, mentioning that it's a rare sight of Ava everyone sees. He recalls a past incident around Thanksgiving 2003 when Ava had just come out as a transgender female, which didn't end well. This part of the episode delves deeper into Ava's personal struggles, her professional relationship with George, and her resilience in the face of adversity. It also highlights the support she receives from those around her, adding depth to the characters and their relationships. 
The episode continues with Caprice expressing concern about Ava's situation. She acknowledges that Ava's situation is bad and can't go on much longer, urging Ava to find a new place soon. Ava agrees, stating that all her resources and options have been exhausted. She lists the limitations of the available options, such as not allowing pets, indoor vaping, or having a patio, among other things she's not willing to compromise on. Ava also mentions a requirement for cats to be declawed, which she refuses to comply with. She's confident she can sign a waiver stating she won't declaw Caprice. Caprice finds it hard to believe that over two years, she's hissed at a maintenace guy over 1,000 times. Ava reveals that Brandon is 25 percent of the reason why Ava, Caprice, and Ella are moving and didn't renew their lease. Another factor was having to take down the outdoor security cameras without being offered a resolution, which was grounds for her not to renew her lease, which Ava reveals is the wireless security system. Caprice agrees with Ava and mentions that she was right to hiss at Tara Fike 251 times. Caprice recalls the recent incident where Ava was extremely angry, realizing what could have happened if Ava's wife Breeanna had been present. Ella enters the scene, expressing her frustration and agreeing with what Caprice has said so far. Ava reveals another factor for her decision to move as most of the available places are on the southeast side of Fort Wayne, a part of Fort Wayne she doesn't want to move back to but rather the southwest or northeast side. Ella acknowledges the damage done to Ava. Ava admits that if Breeanna had been present on June 29, it would have been the first time she'd ever beaten a wife or girlfriend, indicating a severe emotional breakdown.
The episode continues with Caprice expressing her frustration about the delay in their moving process. She questions Ava about why it's taking so long and why they haven't moved out yet. Ava attributes the delay to the Fort Wayne Housing Authority, stating that they're the ones who caused the whole mess. Caprice then brings up the incidents that led to their current situation, including Breeanna punching the property manager at an apartment complex and a suicide threat that involved the Fort Wayne Police Department. She expresses relief that she and Ella were present during these incidents, rather than Breeanna, Sierra, Lyssa, Baby Kenny, Ashli, Tabitha, Rachael, or Karly being present. Ava agrees with Caprice's sentiments, acknowledging that she's right. Caprice then wonders what could have happened if things had escalated further, to which Ava responds that it wouldn't have ended well. Ava reveals that she has packed Caprice's Feliway (a product used to calm cats) because she doesn't know where they will be moving to. This part of the episode continues to highlight the characters' struggles with their housing situation and the emotional toll it's taking on them. It also underscores the importance of their relationships and mutual support in navigating these challenges. The narrative continues to explore serious themes, providing a realistic portrayal of the difficulties Ava faces. It's clear that Ava is going through a difficult time, and it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.
The episode continues with Rachael reminiscing about the good times when they first moved in and expressing her hope not to throw all that away. Karly confronts a maintenance guy accusing him of bullying, disability shaming, and belittling Ava. She suggests that Breeanna must have hit the property manager harder than she thought. Janice assures them that they can handle the situation. Rachael, who considers herself a good judge of people, expresses her dislike for everyone but admits that she liked the maintence guy. She's upset that he managed to sneak under her radar. The guy acknowledges that they've upset everyone as much as Ava and asks for understanding. Karly hopes that he gets his life together, warning that if he doesn't, the next transgender woman might cause some collateral damage. Janice decides to sit in Karly's car, a 1965 Lincoln Continental, and wait for the guy to figure out what he is going to do. Rachael believes that Ava needs a lot of time to recover and nurse her injuries. Karly warns the guy to stay away from Ava, threatening that they're more dangerous than Breeanna and Ava. She mentions having a loose-meat farm and knowing what to do with a body. 
Caprice, Ava's cat, enters the scene and notices Ava's weapons. She accuses Ava of planning a mutiny. Ava admits that she's right. Caprice is upset about their impending move, and Ava tries to reassure her that it's going to be alright. Caprice questions why they haven't moved out yet, and Ava blames the Fort Wayne Housing Authority for causing the mess. Caprice brings up the incident where Breeanna punched the property manager and drove it to the suicide threat that got the Fort Wayne Police Department involved. Ava reassures Caprice that it's going to be alright and promises not to declaw her. Caprice threatens to use the Religious Freedom Restoration Act card on a prospective landlord. Ava is surprised but supportive of Caprice's plan. Caprice admits that she's just trying to hang on to dear life. Ella, Ava's dog, wakes up and expresses her desire to lay down all day. Ava insists that she can't do that and tries to wake her up. Ella resists, leading Ava to decide to do things the hard way. Ella expresses her desire to bite and kill somebody on this day, but Ava firmly tells her that she's not going to do that. The episode ends with Ella expressing her frustration.
In the concluding part of the episode, Ava expresses her frustration about the situation, stating that there's nothing Indiana Legal Services can do. However, she believes she's doing the right thing. She acknowledges that she can't rely on anyone when she needs help, which she finds embarrassing. Ava recalls being seriously angry a couple of weeks ago. She hopes that Villa Capri Apartments won't be a deal-breaker. She's unwilling to sacrifice certain things, such as declawing Caprice and Ava mentions that as a student at Purdue University Fort Wayne, which is almost 12 miles apart from her new location. This distance presents a transportation problem for Ava. She's aware that she'll have to pay at least a $400 pet deposit at Villa Capri Apartments, plus the first month's rent, with or without the Section 8 voucher. Ava is determined to do everything she can to work with what's available so that things can finally get back to normal. However, she's annoyed and irritated that it took so long to find new housing. She notes that the new housing options have amenities that Golfview sorely lacks.
The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the audience wondering how Ava will navigate these challenges and what the future holds for her and her pets. The narrative continues to explore serious themes, providing a realistic portrayal of the difficulties Ava faces. It's clear that Ava is going through a difficult time, and it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds in future episodes.
===Part 3===
Part 3 begins with Ava continuing the quest to find a suitable apartment after being denied tenancy at Preston Pointe at The Inverness and Newburyport Apartments. She is 12 miles south of Purdue University Fort Wayne on Anthony Boulevard, heading towards Villa Capri Apartments. Despite her reservations about the area, she is hopeful that this complex might offer some amenities that her current place at Golfview Apartments lacks, such as washer-dryer hookups and dishwashers.
Upon arrival, Ava is puzzled by some unfamiliar objects, which she initially thinks might be security cameras or dryer vents, but eventually realizes they are exhaust pipes. She seems to be in a state of mixed emotions, hoping for good news but also feeling that Villa Capri is the last place she would want to live.
A few weeks go by, and Ava learns her application at Villa Capri is denied because she is a full-time student at Purdue Fort Wayne and eventually visits Waterloo Gardens Apartments. She speaks with the property manager, identified as Sasha Boehme and notes that the complex reminds Ava of Black Pine Flats. Waterloo Gardens offers washer-dryer hookups, which Golfview Apartments lacks. However, she is frustrated to learn that they no longer accept money orders, adding to her list of grievances.
Ava reveals that Waterloo Gardens is the fourth apartment complex she has applied to and is feeling the strain of the process. She observes that an outdoor charcoal grill and outdoor security cameras might be making a comeback, and she plans to install a security system in addition to the existing Ring doorbell and indoor security cameras, once she moves in.
She hopes to move in by August 23, but if there are delays beyond August 26, it could cause significant problems, especially with her plans at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Ava is determined to make the best of the situation, despite the challenges and the less-than-ideal location, which has had issues with vandalism and a shooting in the past year.
After returning home, Ava reassures Caprice that she will get the cat perch back, which she built after adopting Caprice. Ava reflects on past experiences with three property managers and hopes the new one won’t cause problems. Caprice expresses frustration with the situation and the rules that make it difficult for Ava to reach her goals. Ava is relieved that Caprice won’t need to be declawed and that she and Ella are already spayed. She plans to provide more details to Caprice and Ella when the time comes.
Caprice humorously recalls hissing at a maintenace guy over 1500 times and puffing her tail numerous times. Ava mentions that the new place will have a washer and dryer hookup, but likely no dishwasher. Caprice and Ella both express their concerns and hopes for the new place, with Caprice being particularly vocal about her feelings.
Ava reassures Caprice and Ella that things will be okay and that they will have security measures in place. She also reminds them about their vaccinations and encourages Ava to get something to eat.
The episode ends on another cliffhanger and seems like a challenging but hopeful transition for Ava, Caprice, and Ella.
