## History

### Season 3

#### *Memories of the Past*

"*Ugh, fine." [...] "But just know, Nita and Patrick...*"
—Ivanna to Nita and Patrick

Years prior to the start of the series, Harlow and Ivanna appear at the doorstep of the Heartley household, and Ivanna come to ask for more money. Harlow remarks that their mansion is very dilapidated; they don't have enough money to fix everything, and Nita offers to give them another two-thousand, but no more. Ivanna begs, warning that they'll be evicted, making Patrick suspicious. Harlow demands for the money harshly, and Ivanna looks away guiltily, her eyes betraying reluctance. Patrick realizes that his parents are greedy and have been lying to them. He calls them out for wanting to be the richest in all of Pineshadow, ordering them to get out. Harlow snaps at him to show respect to the family name, still desiring money, and Nita warns them to keep it down so Mya isn't woken. However, Harlow spits that nobody cares about Mya, and they only want their riches. Patrick jumps in front of him and Ivanna, enraged by his comment, demanding that they leave like the traitors they are. Harlow obliges, but turns back, and suddenly throws a glass vase at his son. At once, it shatters, leaving Patrick groaning in pain, all while his parents watch with no emotion. Having had enough, Nita tells them to leave firmly, and they do - but not before promising revenge and taking Mya as their own.

After Patrick cleans up, he and Nita meet up outside Mya's bedroom, and Patrick declares that Harlow and Ivanna must be locked out of their bank account. He also adds that Mya must never know of their existence, wanting her to be safe. He takes out a photo of him and Nita with Harlow and Ivanna, and using a lighter, burns the two out of the picture. Once that is done, he hides the photo in the basement. Eleven years later, Mya accidentally discovers the photo while cleaning the basement with Winter. Winter questions who the two are, and Mya is baffled, not knowing of any other living relatives and thinking the photo was burned deliberately. Both decide to ask their parents about it, and reluctantly, Nita and Patrick admit that the two are their grandparents. However, they lie that they moved to Oregon, and that the photo fell onto a candle and burned off their faces. Mya and Winter ask for more information, and Nita pulls aside Patrick aside, thinking they should just be honest on Harlow and Ivanna. However, Patrick refuses out of fear for Mya's safety. Instead, the two continue to lie, saying their grandparents loved Mya when she was a baby, and moved to Oregon for job-related purposes.

Later, Mya shows the burned photo to Evie, who is appalled, even more so when Mya reveals that the burned figures are her grandparents, and she explains what her parents told her. Together, they investigate the internet, finding out that her "grandparents" - Elloise and Luca, died in a fire. Evie thinks the mystery is solved, but Mya snaps that it's not, as her grandparents should be alive. She and Evie investigate further, discovering that Elloise and Luca's wealth was passed on to distant family, which confuses them. That night, Mya summons Winter back home, catching her up on what she and Evie has learned, but confessing that she's at a dead end. Despite this, she does believe she has maternal and paternal grandparents, and one of them must have given money to the other. She decides to call various numbers belonging to the richest in Pineshadow, trying to find the truth, but none heed results. The next day, Mya informs Evie of her failure to find more information, still wanting to find out what's going on in her family line when she suddenly bumps into two figures, falling back in a daze. She suddenly realizes something - staring at the photo - and seeing that the two in front of her are her grandparents. Mya questions if the two are her grandparents, and Nita inquires if she's Mya Heartley. Harlow remarks that it's a pleasure to meet her after all these years, leaving Evie dumbfounded.

#### *Welcome to Hollowleaf Mansion*

"*Indeed, for it is very sacred." [...] "Few have come to share its beauty but us, and us only.*"
—Ivanna on the Pond of Ori

Harlow calls Mya's name, and he and Ivanna warmly embrace Mya. He introduces her and himself, and Mya bounces up and down, loving both of their names. She asks if they ever got a donation of money from Elloise and Luca Heartley, which Ivanna confirms, recalling the tragic day in which they died. Harlow adds that they've prospered since then, and he and Ivanna notice Evie, questioning who she is. Mya hesitates to respond, fearing her grandparents are homophobic, but Ivanna figures it out, and Mya reveals that Evie is her girlfriend. She shakes their hands, and Harlow remarks that Mya has a wonderful partner. He declares that it's time they paid Nita and Patrick a visit, catch up on loose ends, and show that they're back in business. Ivanna stares at him, her face twisted in a smirk, and Evie begins to feel unnerved, suspecting that Harlow is plotting something. Just a short time after, Mya declares that she's found her grandparents, much to her parents' shock. Nita tries to correct her, but a voice asks if they missed them, and Harlow and Ivanna appear. Nita stutters a greeting, and Winter excitedly runs up to her grandparents, her eyes shining. Harlow inquires as to who she is, and Patrick says that she's their adopted daughter. Harlow chuckles, ruffling her hair and stating that she's one of a kind. Nita questions why they're here, and Ivanna mentions that Mya phone called them, to which she adds that she took a chance and it paid off. Harlow soothes Mya and Winter into settling down, then walks up to Nita and Patrick, telling them that they must speak about important matters in private. His hazel gazes freezes the Heartleys, but they comply and follow him and Ivanna into the bedroom. Mya wonders what they're discussing, and Winter guesses that it's probably family matters. The next day, Evie complains about Harlow and Ivanna to her parents, and she brings up Harlow's smirk and emphasis on his points.

Opal murmurs that she gets where she's coming from, but she needs to give it time, and Evie exclaims that Harlow is plotting something. Anderson sides with his wife, saying that while they get she doesn't trust Harlow and Ivanna, it isn't that wise to make assumptions about people she just met. Evie suggests that Harlow is planning something malicious, but her mother tells her that she's thinking too far ahead and needs to stop worrying about Mya's grandparents. An hour later, Evie greets Mya in the doorway, becoming dismayed upon seeing that Harlow and Ivanna are there as well, but she hides her feelings from her girlfriend. Mya squeals that her grandparents are giving her a tour of their mansion, and she's invited to come along. Evie's concerns regarding Harlow and Ivanna vanish as her thoughts drift to Mya's affection. Soon, they arrive at the mansion, and Harlow puffs out his chest, proclaiming that the mansion is old, yet perfectly modern, and one of their greatest accomplishments. Ivanna adds that once they see the inside, they'll be amazed, which flatters Mya and not Evie. They are led inside, and Mya is in awe over everything; Harlow calls out that they'll show her all of it. Ivanna asks where she'd like to go first, and she responds with the bottom left, to which Harlow mentions that she means the treasure room. He leads them to a small room, and Evie is unnerved upon seeing the walls are full of guns. Mya asks where he got the weapons, and Harlow reveals that he received them in trades with hunters in the Hollowleaf Forest. He likes guns, especially antique ones, thinking that it adds on to the historical value of the mansion.

He lifts up a glass case, showcasing his signature dagger, adding that it's never been used and only time will tell if it will come in handy. Mya questions where they're going next, and Ivanna says that they'll go to the living room, where they'll relax. Evie attempts to talk about Hollowleaf Mansion's furnishings, but Harlow and Ivanna ignore her, instead enveloped in a conversation with Mya, which frustrates her. Harlow explains that while the living room is small, it is big enough for a family like them, and Mya bounces on the sofa cushions excitedly. Ivanna sits down with Harlow, sharing a kiss with him. She remarks that they watch a lot of movies, asking Mya what movie is her favorite; she mentions *Shrek 2* (which Ivanna finds wonderful) and Evie reveals that her favorite movie is *Jaws*. However, the Parkers ignore Evie again, already in another conversation with their granddaughter, which makes her even more irate. Harlow gets up, wanting to show Mya more of the mansion, and he invites Evie along with them. However, she declines, wishing to avoid him and Ivanna. Once they return, Mya tells Harlow and Ivanna of her adventures with Evie, and the latter tries to chime in, but her girlfriend cuts her off. Harlow and Ivanna clap, and with pride shining in his eyes, Harlow thinks that there must be more. Evie is about to mention how she fell for her, but Ivanna cuts her off, harsly retorting that they don't need interruptions. Evie shoots her a withering glare, refusing to follow her and Harlow around like a lost puppy, noting that they have Mya spellbound and are more suspicious than anything. Two days later, Evie expresses her suspicions regarding Harlow and Ivanna to Winter, Amira, and Daniela, stating that they're no good, only care for Mya, and that they need to be stopped. Winter says that they're nice people, Amira believes that she's jumping to things, and Daniela is the most confused out of the girls, not even knowing who Harlow and Ivanna are.

Winter apologizes for not telling her sooner, whispering in her ear, and she murmurs that Mya has grandparents. Evie snaps that they're a bad influence on Mya, and if they don't get her away from them, something bad will happen. She explains when she first met Harlow and Ivanna, they were friendly, but Harlow started talking about concerning things and smirked like a villain. Daniela points out that he could have just been feeling mischievous, but Evie adds that at the mansion, it became more and more apparent Harlow and Ivanna only saw Mya and not her. Amira reminds her that Mya is their granddaughter, and therefore, she gets more attention. Evie growls that Harlow has an entire room full of weapons and a dagger, thinking that's telling something about him, though Winter believes he's just an enthusiast and wouldn't let Mya get hurt. Frustrated that no one is listening, Evie recalls every moment in which Harlow and Ivanna ignored her, and Winter understands that she's worried, but she states that she only just met Mya's grandparents and needs to give them time. She even suggests that she could be just jealous because of how they've made Mya over the moon, but Evie quickly denies this, spitting that this is an issue where Harlow and Ivana might be brainwashing Mya. Amira agrees that she isn't jealous, but she opts to wait for more information on Harlow and Ivanna, saying that she will be on her side if things get suspicious. Daniela admits that Harlow and Ivanna don't have makings of villains to her, and she takes Amira's side, making Evie give up.

Suddenly, Winter gets a text from her parents, who reveal that Mya has gone missing, and she rushes home. Evie shakily recalls Mya being kidnapped by a man, and Amira and Daniela both fear Harlow and Ivanna have taken her. At home, Winter texts Mya, and Mya reveals that she's been spending all of her time with Harlow and Ivanna, bidding farewell, as they are about to tell her a story. At once, regret fills Winter; she remembers Mya had been talking nonstop about her grandparents before and how entertaining they were - making it all but clear she is obsessed with them - and proving that Evie was right all along. Knowing she is so enamored to the point where she's stopping caring about her home life, Patrick shakes, asking if she's really with them, which Winter confirms. She concludes that due to Mya's obsession, she's chosen to spend less time with them, but she knows how to fix this - going to Hollowleaf Mansion. Despite their reluctance, her parents agree. Upon arriving, Winter calls out for her adopted grandparents, and Ivanna greets her at the door. When asked where Mya is, she guides her to the treasury, where she is with Harlow (even being intrigued about his dagger). Alarmed, Winter speeds there and kicks the door wide open, startling both Harlow and Mya. Harlow greets her using her full name, rubbing her chin, and Mya asks why she's here. Harlow glances at Mya warmly, and Winter grits her teeth, knowing he's acting off. Mya plainly replies that she's fine, and her monotone self shocks Winter, who begins to see Harlow and Ivanna's bad influence on her. She awkwardly inquires if there is a place where they can speak privately, and Harlow guides them to the guest room upstairs. Winter yanks Mya there by her wrist, throwing her into the room roughly, and she snaps that her obsession with her grandparents is leading her into trouble.

Mya denies any trouble she has caused, saying that Harlow and Ivanna are keeping her company, even giving her a room here at the mansion. Winter retorts that she need to stop spending time with the Parkers and go back to being with her family, but Mya assures her that Harlow and Ivanna have handled everything, in addition to telling her many amazing things, which only angers her adopted sister further. Mya babbles that she should see how cool they are, recalling how they saved a local business from bankruptcy, how Ivanna adopted out all of The Haven, believing Daniela would be jealous. Suddenly, Winter screams at her to shut up, and in shock, Mya falls onto the ground. Softening, she tells her that she knows she loves Harlow and Ivanna, and that they're great grandparents, but her devoting her time to them has been hurting her other family members. She urges her to change her schedule so she can spend time with them and the Parkers equally, and Mya agrees, apologizing for upsetting her. With the disagreement settled, Winter says that they can go home, but Mya reveals that Harlow and Ivanna wanted to show her something and begs to stay with them for one more night, which Winter reluctantly allows. She grins, but knows the Parkers aren't to be trusted. A few hours later, Winter explains to the other girls that Mya is staying one more night with her grandparents, but Harlow and Ivanna are a bad influence, and she apologizes to Evie for doubting her. Evie accepts, declaring that Harlow and Ivanna are a threat, and something bad will happen if they don't keep Mya away from them. Amira adds that the Parkers are feeding her tales of grandeur, pledging to help. Daniela confesses that she still thinks Harlow and Ivanna aren't villains, but the way Mya is acting isn't normal, and she promises to help the other girls.

That night, Harlow and Ivanna lead Mya into Hollowleaf Forest, gripping her hands as they lead her to a sacred place. She asks if they're almost there, and Harlow murmurs that they're getting close, wanting to show her this place in all of its beauty. Ivanna covers her eyes, instructing her not to peek until they tell her to. A second later, Harlow commands Ivanna to show Mya now, and Mya finds herself in front of a pristine pond, mystified by it. Harlow explains that this is the Pond of Ori, and they found it many years ago, having worked since then to protect its beauty. Mya thanks them for showing them this, and Ivanna mentions that it's very sacred. Harlow kneels down next to his granddaughter, urging her to savor this moment, revealing that they have huge plans for her. She will help them achieve what they have long sought for, as she is the chosen one, and when she comes to this pond to reflect, she must think of the role she holds in the family. Mya is dumbfounded at what Harlow has just told her, questioning what plans and what role he is taking about, and he reassures her that these answers will come soon. He then states that they should be heading back, winking at Ivanna, who smirks back at him. The two share a kiss, which turns into a makeout session, and they begin to walk home. Mya stays behind, staring at her reflection in the Pond of Ori, and wondering if she's really the chosen one. She realizes that Harlow wouldn't have told her that she was chosen randomly, but she was chosen because she has a purpose to fulfill. Mya vows to prove herself to Harlow and Ivanna, no matter how hard things get, and nothing will get in her way.

#### *Rising Tensions*

"*Indeed. And to deal with Nita and Patrick... We must fulfill our promise to them from years back.*"
—Ivanna on retribution against Nita and Patrick

Evie, despite her fears and other reservations, confesses to Mya that she doesn't like Harlow and Ivanna. While Mya doesn't believe her at first, she outright says that she hates them, much to her dismay. Evie adds that they rub her the wrong way, but Mya asks her why she hates them when they are good people. She admits that she's seen things Mya hasn't seen, and that they also ignored her on purpose in favor of her. Mya is irritated by her remarks, knowing that as their granddaughter, she is bound to get more attention. Enraged, she snarls that both the Parkers are innocent, and when Evie tries to say they are brainwashing her, Mya vehemently denies it. She retorts ther Harlow and Ivanna are a bad influence and that her obsession will lead to trouble, but Mya calls her jealous and storms off. Later, she vents about Evie in her bedroom at Hollowleaf Mansion, and Ivanna enters, worried. She hugs her, urging her to calm herself, as she's filling the mansion with her yelling. They sit together on the bed, and once Mya calms down, Ivanna asks about what happened. Mya reveals that Evie hates her and Harlow and thinks they're a bad influence, and raising an eyebrow, Ivanna questions if Evie is wary of strangers. Her granddaughter confirms this, and she advises her to give her time. Mya mutters that she better, almost mentioning something before cutting herself off, and she tells Ivanna to forget it. She wishes to be alone, and Ivanna leaves the room, hearing her yelling again. Sighing, she heads to the kitchen and reports to Harlow, murmuring that she won't stop complaining until sunset. Harlow decides to take a small measure and mixes "sugar" into a glass of water, instructing her to give to Mya.

Ivanna nods, and returns to Mya's room, refocusing her attention onto her. The glass effectively knocks Mya out, and Ivanna quietly tells her to settle now, as she has more important things later. After brushing her hair aside and rubbing the corner of her lip, she leaves her bedroom, informing Harlow that she is out cold. Satisfied, Harlow mentions their plans for retribution, and Ivanna adds that they must fulfill their promise to Nita and Patrick from years back. He grins wickedly, remarking that there will be nothing left for the Heartleys, and Ivanna distracts him, wanting some "fun." The two kiss, and still kissing, they head to their bedroom. Hours later, Winter worries about Mya spending too much time with Harlow and Ivanna, afraid of leaving her on her own with them. Suddenly, Mya returns, sluggish. She explains that she had a long day with her grandparents, but Winter knows there's something more and says that she better not cover it up. Mya then reveals that Evie hates the Parkers, expressing how she's jealous, and Winter is quick to correct her, knowing she just doesn't like them. Mya snaps that she thinks she's being brainwashed when Harlow and Ivanna are loving and kind, and Winter sighs, realizing telling her that she doesn't like the Parkers either is a bad idea. She soothes Mya, and they head into their bedroom, where Winter questions why she's tired. Mya responds that she took a glass of water from Ivanna, adding that there were white particles. This horrifies Winter, and she realizes that her sister has been drugged, either by Harlow or by Ivanna. She exclaims that she was drugged, but Mya denies this, calling the claim ridiculous and noting that she would never be taken advantage of like that. Once again, Winter soothes her, and helps her fall asleep.

Afterwards, she rushes to Daniela's place, informing her that something isn't right with Harlow and Ivanna, shocking her and baffling Rex. Daniela asks what they did, and Winter informs her that they've drugged Mya, much to her ire. At Pinelake Park, Winter breaks the news to Evie and Amira, and Evie is horrified, rapidly asking if she is alright. She reports that Mya is fine, but they have an issue - she is in denial that one of her grandparents drugged her - and she thinks it's from their influence on her. Daniela adds that she doesn't care if Harlow or Ivanna did the drugging, but one of them wanted her out on purpose no matter what. Amira pleads that they must do something immediately, commenting that Mya will follow Harlow and Ivanna off a cliff willingly, fearing that they'll manipulate her. Later, Winter and Evie inform the Heartleys that Harlow and Ivanna drugged Mya, and hiding his deep worry, Patrick recalls his parents' threat from eleven years ago, which is on its way to becoming true. Nita attempts to say something, but Patrick silences her, not wanting her to freak out Evie and Winter. He apologizes, but says that they can't do anything, as Mya will still see Harlow and Ivanna regardless. Evie inquires as to where Mya is picked up by her grandparents, and Nita blankly replies with Pinelake Park. Formulating a plan, Evie instructs the Heartleys to let Mya go freely and to act like they don't have a strained relationship with Harlow and Ivanna. Then, the girls will ambush her at the park and prove to her that the Parkers are no good. Winter and her adoptive parents agree to the plan, and Evie declares that they're going to shut Harlow and Ivanna's party down.

The next day, Mya prepares for another day with Harlow and Ivanna, noting that they will tell her about Elloise and Luca. Her parents fondly wish her off, kicking off the first stage of the plan, and the other girls wait under the slide for Mya at the park. Once she arrives, Evie asks what she's doing here, to which she responds that Harlow and Ivanna are going to pick her up. With one eyebrow raised, Evie "corrects" her by saying that her grandparents drugged her and brainwashed her with stories, appalling Mya. Evie makes it clear that the Parkers have drugged her, suggesting that the "stories" they've told are no more than tall tales. Mya snaps that her grandparents aren't villains, but Amira joins in, warning her that Harlow and Ivanna will start to manipulate and gaslight her. Mya denies this, thinking she's insane, and she tries to get away, but bumps into Daniela. Daniela hisses that they're here to get her away from Harlow and Ivanna, but Mya doesn't care and tries to get away. However, Daniela blocks her path, spitting that there are so many red flags with her grandparents, and it's alarming that she isn't seeing them at all. Their influence is letting her believe she is living in a safe and normal environment, and she's letting something dark control her actions. Mya angrily rebukes her for suggesting she'll turn evil, and she goes to Winter, expecting her to prove that Harlow and Ivanna are good people. Her hopes are crushed when Winter mutters that she hates Harlow and Ivanna just as much as Evie does, explaining that while she was with her at first, Evie told her what she saw. That, combined with her absences, prove that Harlow and Ivanna aren't good on her.

Mya realizes that she has no supporters, all because the girls believe Harlow and Ivanna are evil, and she singles out Evie. She blames her for informing the girls of this "nonsense," then accuses Winter of revealing that she got drugged. In desperation, Evie says that that wasn't their intention, reminding her that she knows what it's like to be brainwashed, but Mya retorts that Opal isn't the same as Harlow and Ivanna. Amira warns her that the Parkers will pressure her into doing things she shouldn't do, and will take advantage of her, eventually leading to her being backstabbed. Daniela notes that Harlow and Ivanna's hold on Mya sickens her, and she growls that she'll become a villain. Enraged, Mya pins her to the ground, and a female voice questions what is going on. Looking up, Mya finds Harlow and Ivanna, and she embraces them warmly. Harlow asks about what's going on, and noticing Amira and Daniela, Ivanna questions who they are. Harlow whispers that he knows something is going on, needing more clarity, and Mya exclaims that the girls hate them. Annoyed, Ivanna remarks "Well, I never." Winter demands that she confesses to drugging Mya, dumbfounding Ivanna, and Evie snaps at her to quit lying. After Harlow meets Daniela, he apologizes for any issue he and Ivanna have caused, but lectures the girls on telling lies, and Ivanna adds that they shouldn't interfere in Mya's relationships. She then states that they should get going, bidding farewell, and she, Harlow, and Mya drive away. Worried, Evie wonders what they're going to do now that they didn't foil the Parkers, and Daniela fears that war is coming if they don't get Mya away from them.

#### *The Dinner Party*

"*Where is that* Daniela*? She owes me an* explanation *for scarring my* husband*.*"
—Ivanna furiously demanding for Daniela

Mya laments about fighting with the other girls over her grandparents. When Harlow decides to host a dinner party, he calls to Ivanna and tells her to go shopping. As he heads to the living room, he turns to her, saying that this will be more than just any party. Soon, all of the girls receive invites to Harlow and Ivanna's dinner party, and while they are each skeptical, they choose to attend. After the girls enter the mansion, Ivanna stands by Harlow as he welcomes them, and Ivanna urges them to get seated while they sort out things in the kitchen. Harlow invites Daniela to help them, and she follows them into the kitchen. While searching around in the fridge, she finds salad that appears to belong to Ivanna. Suddenly, someone touches her backside, but she only finds Harlow and Ivanna in a conversation near the dishwasher, and she hands Ivanna the basil. Ivanna thanks her, and noticing the pizza she is preparing, Daniela asks if it's for them. Ivanna denies this, revealing that it's for Mya, much to Daniela's ire. She questions if they considered what the others wanted to eat, but Harlow tells her to simmer down, alarming her. Ivanna chastises Harlow for getting close, reminding him to let Daniela breathe, and he helps her grind up some chocolate. The two kiss, and Daniela escapes the kitchen, returning to the dining room. Evie attempts to text her parents, but Mya tells her not to do so, as it is disrespectful to Harlow and Ivanna. Just then, Harlow and Ivanna appear with the dinner. Ivanna hands Mya her pizza with a glass of milk, and also serves Amira spaghetti and Winter steak with green beans. When Amira chokes on a meatball, Evie points out that Harlow and Ivanna said there were to be no meatballs in it, shocking Winter.

She tries to search their gazes, but they don't portray anything. After a while, Ivanna decides that the girls aren't that hungry and takes their dishes into the kitchen. Once that is done, she wheels out a chocolate cake and cuts a huge slice for Mya, while cutting up smaller slices for the girls. Evie apologizes, saying that they should get going, but Harlow refuses to let them leave and locks the door. He heads into the kitchen with Ivanna and Mya. Moments later Ivanna steps out, announcing that there will be more fun - a courtship between two girls - and she calls out Mya's name. As Mya dances with Evie, Harlow and Ivanna both cheer for her. After Evie hits Mya and storms off, Ivanna reassures her that it's okay and that she tried her best. Daniela excuses herself from the scene, going upstairs, and Harlow whispers something in Ivanna's ear before following her. Later, Ivanna demands where Daniela is, and she helps Harlow, who is covering his scratched left eye, down the stairs. Mya apologizes to her grandfather, and Ivanna is uncertain if he'll recover. Enraged with the girls, Mya draws a boundary line and orders the girls to decide who they side with. When it is her turn, Evie struggles, and Ivanna jeers her for being a peacemaker. This spurs her to jump to Daniela's side. With everything settled, Harlow growls at them to get lost, vowing to never forget this day. Ivanna silences him, telling him to just let the girls go home. After Winter tells her parents of Harlow assaulting Daniela, Patrick says that they must get Mya away from Harlow and Ivanna.

#### *The Divide Between Us*

"*Harlow, that's enough excuses!" [...] "See a damn doctor!*"
—Ivanna encouraging Harlow to get a doctor

Harlow assures Mya that he and Ivanna know what they are doing with her, asking if their modifications to her time have made her happier, which Mya confirms. Harlow is about to say that it makes her a true Heartley, but the doorbell rings, and he answers, finding police officers outside the door. One of the officers says that they received reports he committed a sexual act on a child, and Mya realizes that the families of the girls told the cops about Harlow. Harlow calmly replies that he wouldn't perform anything like that, and Ivanna backs him up, affirming that he wouldn't hurt a child. Mya tries to add the events of the dinner party, but Harlow silences her with the bell, lying that the fiasco at the party was resolved without revealing the full story. His hazel gaze stops the officers from probing further, and they bid him farewell. Harlow mutters that they're fools for trying to take him down, but his injured eye begins to pain him, and Ivanna urges him to get it attended to. He refuses, not wanting to lose money, and Mya notes it is likely that he will never see out of his left eye properly again.

The next day, Winter weakly hopes that Harlow and Ivanna are keeping Mya safe, but Nita snaps that they're going to do horrible things to her, as she's seen it herself. Too late, she fails to stop herself, and Winter realizes that her parents have been lying to her. She berates them for withholding information and for failing to protect Mya, and she storms off to her room. After taking a nap, she heads to Evie's place in order to consult her, telling her that her parents knew Harlow and Ivanna were evil from the start. That night, Mya eats dinner with her grandparents, and Harlow doesn't eat his dinner, looking sleepless. Ivanna encourages him to eat before his food gets cols, but he bizzarely remarks that he's more focused on retribution. He winces, doubling over in pain, and Ivanna sharply urges him to see a doctor. He retorts that he doesn't need one when there are more serious things he is attending to, and when Mya sides with Ivanna, Harlow silences her by using the bell again. She apologizes, and forgetting about his issues for the moment, Harlow advises Mya to use her power to conquer the world, as nothing is stopping her. Mya promises to fulfill her destiny, then heads into her bedroom for the night. She finds that Evie has texted her, and she begins to miss her, recalling being at each other's throats over Harlow and Ivanna.

Later, Mya angrily retorts to Daniela that Harlow and Ivanna are both innocent, and she begs that Harlow was lying. She doesn't listen to Daniela, and Mya begins to chew out Evie for getting in her way. Evie stammers that she only wanted to help her, but more furious, Mya comments that she had this coming with the way she treated her grandparents. Just a short time later, Winter notes that she lied to her parents about spending the night with Amira, calling them liars just as much as Harlow and Ivanna are. Amira reassures her that it's Mya's fault she chose Harlow and Ivanna over the rest of the girls, but Winter screams that she's lost her sister and can't do anything about it. Meanwhile, Evie cries that Mya left them for Harlow and Ivanna, and Daniela soothes her to the best of her ability. Later that night, Evie walks to Pinelake Park, and she questions why she can't stop thinking about Mya knowing she has betrayed them for her grandparents. Slowly, Evie realizes that Mya meant everything she told her was true - she really hates her for how she views her grandparents and for defending Daniela over Harlow.

#### *Rise to Power*

"*You have two options, ladies. You may come down with me, I tell Harlow what happened, and you two can leave the mansion fine. However, if you escape this very second, I will* **hunt you down** *and dispose of you promptly for your role in this culmulated mission.*"
—Ivanna's ultimatum to Amira and Daniela

Two weeks after Mya's betrayal, Daniela notes that Winter still despises her parents for lying about Harlow and Ivanna's true nature. When Evie arrives and starts formulating a plan to speak with Mya, Winter reminds her that Harlow and Ivanna need to be dealt with as well - they're a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, possess numerous weapons, and could traumatize an entire generation if not stepped. Thrown off course, Evie rethinks her plan and comes up with a two-sided diversion: while she and Winter talk with Mya directly at Hollowleaf Mansion, Amira and Daniela will sneak in and gather evidence to incriminate the Parkers. Winter and Amira are in agreement with the plan, but Daniela is not, and she stammers that she can't be back around Harlow, not after he lusted for her and almost managed to sexually assault her. Evie, internally chastising herself for not considering that beforehand, allows Daniela to skip the mission and apologizes. As she reflects on her sofa the next morning, Daniela worries for Amira, fearing that the Parkers will capture her and torment her, leading to an all-out fiasco. Changing her mind, she declares that she has to go back to Hollowleaf Mansion, dumbfounding Rex, who is quick to point out that Harlow forced himself onto her. Daniela retorts that she knows the dangers of being around him; he has lust and tricks up his sleeve, but that won't stop her from abandoning her friends.

Upon arriving at Hollowleaf Mansion and heading inside, Evie and Winter confront the "new" Mya. Winter hisses that they have a right to speak to her, as they are her family, but Mya scoffs that Harlow and Ivanna are her true family. She attempts to send the two out, but Harlow interrupts her by ringing his bell, revealing the presence of him and Ivanna; they eye Evie and Winter with snake-like stares. Unlike his granddaughter, Harlow believes that Mya should actually hear Evie and Winter out because they are "house guests." She tries to protest, but Ivanna chastises her, reminding her to always respect her guests' wishes. Giving a curt nod, Mya agrees to discussions with Evie and Winter in the game room, and Harlow likes her choice, offering to come with them - but take no part in the deliberations himself. Awkwardly, Ivanna dismisses herself from the scene to clean. During the confrontation, Winter reveals to Mya that their parents lied to them about Harlow and Ivanna being pure evil and did nothing to save her from them. Meanwhile, Amira and Daniela face the sole door upstairs that they haven't checked, which is locked, and Daniela suspects that the Parkers are hiding something behind it. Frustrated at having no way to get in, she places her fingers on a nearby table, grazing a paper clip and yelping - but not enough to alert Ivanna. Amira, using an uncurled paper clip and claiming that Harlow and Ivanna have their "enter ticket," cracks the lock, and she and Daniela head inside before Ivanna detects their presence.

In the game room, Evie breaks into Mya's rants about desiring for her family name to be respected, saying that it already is, though her girlfriend retorts that scum like her pay no mind - pointing to a frame with her, Harlow, and Ivanna in it. Evie, disgusted, almost wants to walk over to Harlow and vomit on his face. Inside the secret room, Daniela shakily decodes the message written on the front board, believing that someone betrayed Harlow and Ivanna, which made the Parkers want to get revenge by destroying Pineshadow. She then realizes that the "her" referred to in the message is Mya, and she and Amira figure out that Harlow and Ivanna have known their granddaughter long before she met them. Daniela is still confused by the person they want revenge against, which also baffles Amira, and she questions whom they could hate so deeply - and why they view Mya so importantly. Whilst searching for evidence, Daniela accidentally slams the wall in her frustration, and panicking, she believes she just got Ivanna's attention drawn to them. Amira pulls her under a table, and for a moment, neither of the two move or breathe. Amira whispers that Ivanna hasn't found them out to a shaken Daniela, who eventually settles down. The two go back to searching the room for evidence, and Daniela soon uncovers a paper that warns of the Parkers being "robbed." She admits that she doesn't know what it means, but the mysterious person being referenced made a horrible mistake crossing Harlow and Ivanna.

After a few more minutes, the two cannot find any more evidence to prove the Parkers guilty of anything (besides destroying Mya's personality), much to their dismay, and Amira heads to the door to check for Ivanna. However, Daniela uncovers a safe in the wall, and curious, Amira tries to crack it using Harlow and Ivanna's names. When this doesn't work, Daniela deciphers that the lines on a paper she found earlier are the safe's combination in morse code, 9-2-9, and she breaks it open. They find a diary, written by Harlow, and they squeal in excitement, noting that Ivanna hasn't found them yet. The diary reveals much about the Parkers: they desired a "light" that would give them in everything in Pineshadow. However, foolish people which Harlow calls "old biddies" refused to give him and Ivanna said light, causing them to decide to get it with force. Once they did so, they vowed to put out the "embers in the fire," hinting that those "embers" would suffer the same fate as something unknown. Harlow's handwriting cuts off there, and Amira and Daniela turn to the next page, only to find their potentially damning evidence scratched out and unreadable. In her fury, Amira stomps on the ground and accidentally shatters a vase; she panics upon hearing Ivanna go up the stairs. Dainela throws her under the table from earlier, and for a second time, the two remain still and quiet. Ivanna enters the room, angered by the damage done, and she hisses that there are intruders before walking out.

Amira and Daniela prepare to escape, but Daniela rolls her ankle, causing Ivanna to burst in and find the girls. Immediately, she demands what they are doing, and surging in confidence, Amira growls that they found out the truth about her and Harlow and will expose them to Pineshadow. However, Ivanna only snickers, and taking foxy steps up to Amira, she claims that she has big words for one so small. Then, she kicks her back into the wall, and struggling to remain defiant, Amira rasps that they have proof the Parkers are traitors. Enraged, and with eyes bent on Amira, Ivanna snaps that she is a filthy child and has no idea who she's messing with. She slams her head up against the wall and pins her to the floor, pressing both hands down on Amira's neck in an attempt to suffocate her. Refusing to let her friend die, Daniela kicks Ivanna on her head, warning her to give up, as the truth will come out and she'll get imprisoned for the rest of her life. Smirking, Ivanna retorts that she's the child who went insane in prison, nothing more than a curse, which hurts Daniela. With her distracted, the Parker socks her on the cheek, sending her flying into the wall. Ivanna advises her and Amira to give up before their situation gets worse, and upon seeing them hold hands in defiance, she becomes more displeased.

Kneeling down, she mocks both girls, taunting Amira for being battered and bruised instead of confident and Daniela for being a lunatic and liar. Made livid by the latter remarks, Amira leaps onto Ivanna and pins her down by the wrists, commanding for her to take back what she just said to Daniela, but she retorts that this isn't the reason why she's here. Throwing Amira off, Ivanna spits that they trifled through their information and shouldn't be in this room, but just then, a devilish idea crosses her mind. Ivanna reveals to Amira that she's aware of her abusive and cruel aunt, Shetani, aiming to play into her trauma. Despite Amira snarling that she is dead and that none of what she did concerns her, Ivanna pays no mind and tucks a finger onto her chin. She slams her back into the wall violently, and smiling at Amira's suffering, Ivanna then imitates Shetani, threatening to whip her until she's sore and referring to her as a slave. Amira screams and cries madly; Ivanna, fueled even more, prepares to punch her cheek, seeing red. However, her punch is deflected by Daniela, who glares at her sharply, and she snaps that if she hurts anyone she loves, she'll hunt her down until she dies. Not wanting to fight the girls any longer, Ivanna gives them an ultimatum: they can come downstairs with her and can escape after she tells Harlow what happens - or they can defy her and be promptly disposed of. Despite Daniela's desire to reveal the truth about the Parkers to Pineshadow, she and Amira both give in, and pleased with their obedience, Ivanna drags them downstairs.

She interrupts Mya's rants to Evie and Winter in the game room, calling out to Harlow and mentioning that she found "rats" where they shouldn't have been - pulling Amira and Daniela into the room. While she keeps holding Amira, she lets Daniela go, and Harlow traps her. Infuriated, Amira briefly pulls away and charges toward Harlow, but Ivanna restrains her, warning her to not take another step with such malice that she freezes. Winter, exploding with rage, draws her knife and points it at Ivanna's throat, demanding for her to let go of Amira - or she'll kill her and leave her to bleed out on the floor. Ivanna snorts, asking if she really wants to kill her grandmother, and the younger girl retorts that she has no grandmother, making a small cut in Ivanna's neck to prove her point. She lets go of Amira, who promptly kicks Harlow in the pelvis. Harlow yowls that they're maniacs, about to say more when Mya quiets everyone. She singles out Evie for causing the drama and attacks her, and while Daniela mentions the proof that the Parkers are criminals, Mya refuses to listen to her. Once she concludes her rant, Mya orders the girls to get out, Harlow and Ivanna flanking her side to prove her point. Later, at the Fleckenshire house, Winter wonders what they'll do now that they're no closer to deposing the Parkers and saving Mya.

#### *Two Lives, Many Horrors*

"*Do you* want *payback or do you want to let Nita and Patrick lie in wait, preparing for their next move to* damage *us?" [...] "You are the* chosen one *to protect this family's honor. Nita and Patrick have nothing left. Why don't we have some fun and take even more* control*, Mya?*"
—Ivanna gaslighting Mya

The Heartleys note that Harlow and Ivanna have bad motives in mind, proving that they are still the criminals they were eleven years ago. Evie tells them that they need their help in getting Mya rescued and away from the Parkers, and while Amira agrees with her, Winter pays no attention to the conversation, still furious at her parents for lying about Harlow and Ivanna. The Heartley parents, taking the blame for their actions, promise to tell the girls everything they know about the criminal duo. Nita clears her throat, saying that they hid the truth, which was a mistake, but now they will set things right. She and Patrick then launch into their story. Eleven years ago, Nita's parents, Elloise and Luca, died in a fire believed to be arson. The criminal was never discovered, but having suffered from the loss equally, Harlow and Ivanna funded a beautiful funeral for Nita at Rapid Rivers Church. Daniela mutters that she never expected Harlow and Ivanna to actually have a heart, to which Nita replies that she's known them since high school - they did like to spoil her from time to time. One month after the death of Elloise and Luca, Harlow and Ivanna came to her and Patrick, demanding for money to fix up Hollowleaf Mansion, as they burnt up much of their supply for the funeral. They were generous and gave them roughly ten thousand dollars, and when Evie expresses her shock at such a sum, Patrick murmurs that the Parkers truly were genuine.

However, on another day, they came back and demanded even more money, but by this point, the Heartleys could give them no more. Furious, the two never accepted that they lost their steady supply of money; Harlow threw a vase at Patrick's eye and then jointly threatened to return for Mya someday before leaving. Meanwhile, at Hollowleaf Mansion, Mya is studying herself in the mirror when Ivanna appears in her doorway, inviting her to come down to the living room for a family meeting. Blowing a kiss to her grandmother in good graces, she heads down to the living room, and Ivanna joins the side of Harlow. He comments that it's great they're all here, declaring that it is time. While he briefly expects Mya to ask a question, she does not, allowing him to proceed. He proclaims that it's time for Pineshadow to know how powerful the family can be, and curious, Mya demands to be enlightened more. Winking at Harlow, Ivanna takes his place and reveals that the citizens of Pineshadow neglected their money needs in dire straits and let them suffer, even pickpocketing them. Harlow grazes his wife's lips, adding that Pineshadow's denizens tried to scar Ivanna and made her think she was going to die for weeks. The two's clear distress fuels Mya's desires for revenge, rage pulsing through her veins. Harlow walks up to her, offering for her to join them on their quest for retribution that day, and she eagerly accepts, elating the Parkers. Ten minutes later, the Parkers and Mya arrive at a peaceful Old Town Pineshadow, delighting Ivanna, who tucks something in her back pockets that Mya can't see. Getting out of the car, Harlow instructs Ivanna and Mya to have a "Girls' Day" while he rides solo.

Ivanna cheers, agreeing to the idea and sweeping Mya close to her side. They face a building in front of them - Marley's Sweet Treats - and desire "dessert to go." Immediately, Mya heads inside and gets in a heated confrontation with the store owner, Marley Ronnell. When he refuses to obey her demands for his inventory, Ivanna shoots up the store's windows and interior, then kicks the door down, revealing two smoking pistols in her hands. Blowing the smoke away, she orders Marley to comply with her granddaughter's wishes, or else she'll kill everyone in the shop and destroy it. Having no choice, he lets them take over. Mya and Ivanna then raid a local pawn shop, with Ivanna pointing her pistols at the owner and receptionist all while Mya takes various items for free. After that, they ransack the pharmacy, which becomes easy when the shop owners flee for their lives. Mya tosses makeup in the air, then hits a case into a fire alarm with a cane, causing it to go off, and Ivanna praises her for her good aim. Harlow, seeing the damage from the other side of the street, realizes that Mya and Ivanna have done their job. After he smashes a boy's nose in with a shotgun, Mya and Ivanna emerge from a completely-destroyed sporting goods store, and holding Mya's hand, Ivanna drags her back to the car. Harlow praises them, stating that they're back now, and Ivanna notes that everyone knows just how far they can go, satisfied. Mya nods, enjoying her new, reckless lifestyle. Harlow then drives her and Ivanna home, escaping the cops by around two minutes.

Back at the Heartley household, Patrick shakily affirms that they had to burn the photo, as Mya could never know about the Parkers for her own safety - with it gone, she grew into the perfect daughter. After Nita shares how Mya saved her from suicide, Evie understands her and affirms that they won't turn their back on her when Harlow and Ivanna want to make Pineshadow bleed. When Amira speaks to Winter in her room, she encourages her to conserve her energy for when they have to face Harlow and Ivanna again. In her apology to her parents, Winter mentions that they have to stop Mya and the Parkers, albeit indirectly. That night, Harlow and Ivanna celebrate their raid on Pineshadow with Mya in the game room, and Mya remarks that they've done brilliant, to which Harlow purrs in agreement, noting that soon, everyone will bow down to them as Pineshadow's greatest family. Beaming, she flicks her cape behind her, asking if her parents will be proud of her. Ivanna regally promises that they will, especially with what is entrusted to her. Drawing Mya closer to her with a hand, she launches into a story, and Harlow watches on with curious eyes. Ivanna says that long ago, Patrick and Nita used to donate large sums of money to the Parkers. However, one day, they abruptly stopped and called them greedy, making Hollowleaf Mansion nearly fall apart. Mya gasps, fury building inside of her, and Ivanna is about to say that it took emergency donations to patch up the mansion when her granddaughter cuts her off. She finds it incredulous that her parents left them in the deep end, deeming them traitors; Ivanna is startled, but lets her rant on, finding this interesting.

Mya hisses that she'll get payback for her parents doing this, and noticing her agitated behavior, Ivanna develops an idea. She suggests that she show Nita and Patrick up, which Harlow quietly agrees with, though Mya is hesitant that it will actually work. Her grandmother then gaslights her into doing it, questioning if she wants Nita and Patrick plotting their next move or payback, blue eyes sparking up flames. She reminds Mya that she is the chosen one and that they can take more control by having more "fun." Mya nods, now understanding, and pleased, Ivanna tells her that she's going to show her parents up by showing how much she "values" them - by taking their money. Mya accepts it, but to the shock of both Parkers, she then destroys Harlow's bell in the fireplace before he can reach it in time. She vaguely warns them to not make her decisions for her, and Harlow and Ivanna realize that she is breaking free of their grasp, dwindling their chances at getting revenge. An hour later, the Parkers drop her off near her house, and using a spare house key given to her by Ivanna, Mya heads inside. After stealing her parents' money, Mya hands the bags to them, and Ivanna praises her while Harlow says that it is a well-achieved feat of hers. As Mya babbles about her experience, Harlow whispers to Ivanna that she's getting out of hand, but soon, they won't need her. Ivanna nods, stating that Nita and Patrick must be disposed of soon, and Harlow omniously whispers that Mya's life will be over soon as well.

#### *Disappearance*

"*Rest now, Mya. You've learned today that misbehavior will make you pay the price. But don't worry, your ordeal will come to an end soon...*"
—Ivanna to Mya after she drugs her

Despite Nita and Patrick's fears that Harlow and Ivanna will waste their money, they are more concerned for Winter, who is peacefully sleeping. Just then, someone knocks on the door, and Patrick opens it to find the Parkers, seemingly about to create a storm. He warns them to get out, as they're not welcome, and Nita adds that they borderline traumatized one of her own daughters. Harlow retorts that he and Ivanna haven't even come here for more money, whipping out a pistol and pointing it at Nita, causing her to scream as he almost forces it past her teeth. Harlow and Ivanna, both wielding pistols, back the Heartley parents up against the hallway wall. Pointing her pistol at his temple, Ivanna threatens Patrick - if he doesn't listen to what she and Harlow say, everyone in his family, himself included, will die. He pleads that they can't kill Mya and Winter, and agitated, Harlow strikes Patrick and Nita on their chins. With his voice turning to insidious frost, he orders the two to leave Pineshadow. If the two stay, Mya and Winter will be executed. Patrick, mortified, imagines him and his entire family dying, and Nita whispers to him that they have no choice but to listen. Ivanna snarls at her, slicing open her chin with her pistol and making blood splatter onto the wall. The Heartleys concedes, leaving the Parkers victorious as they settle into their new life. The next morning, when Winter and the girls discuss the mysterious disappearance of the Heartley parents, Evie is quick to suspect Harlow and Ivanna as the culprits behind it - they had a disdain for Nita and Patrick and desire Mya and riches all to themselves.

Grimly, Daniela says that they have to solve the mystery and stop the Parkers as soon as possible, or Pineshadow will be in danger, horrifying Winter. Joining her friend's side, Daniela adds that if Harlow and Ivanna harm someone she loves, she'll hunt them down and make them die an agonizing death. Evie then explains that they must search the house for more evidence while also relaying a message to Mya that her parents are missing. Amira points out that if they go back to Hollowleaf Mansion, Harlow and Ivanna will kick them out and likely kill them afterward, making Evie rethink. However, Daniela offers to speak to Mya at Hollowleaf Mansion by herself, and worried, Winter fears that Harlow will assault her again. Daniela doesn't care, dead set on saving Mya's life, and the girls agree to let her go. When Daniela tells Rex about her plans, she immediately panics at the thought of her going back, reminding her of what Ivanna did to her and Amira and also mentioning Harlow. Shaking her head, Daniela affirms her intentions to go, and Rex finally accepts the plan. As Daniela, now donning a rockstar outfit, walks up to Hollowleaf Mansion, she recalls Harlow touching her, but quickly shakes the memory away. After she intimidates Mya into letting her speak, she tells Harlow and Ivanna that she is here, and the Parkers then appear, giving her polite nods. Daniela follows Mya inside, the two's gazes trailing her curiously. Meanwhile, in the house, Amira deduces that Nita and Patrick got into a bloody confrontation with Harlow and Ivanna, which horrifes Winter, but her girlfriend consoles her.

While searching the coffee table, Evie discovers a letter that appears to be written by Nita and Patrick, baffling the girls. Winter is certain her parents wouldn't run away from a threat like Harlow and Ivanna, and suspicious, she evaluates the letter's handwriting. She realizes that the letter was forged, as the handwriting doesn't match her parents' writing, and knowing it's not Mya's either, Evie concludes that the Parkers wrote it. Amira is lost, noting that it doesn't make sense; Harlow and Ivanna aren't holding Nita and Patrick hostage. Suddenly, a news bulletin flashes on the TV, revealing the Parkers and Mya were the masterminds behind the attacks on Old Town Pineshadow, mortifying all three girls. Back inside of Hollowleaf Mansion, Daniela prepares to speak to Mya without the involvement of the Parkers. During her confrontation with Mya, Daniela reveals that she already knew she, Harlow, and Ivanna were behind the destruction of Old Town Pineshadow, and Mya hisses that it doesn't matter, as they prospered. After Mya realizes her mistakes and regrets her actions when Daniela tells her that her parents are gone, she encourages Daniela to leave the room first. She obliges, but bumps into Harlow and Ivanna, and she asks them to move out of the way. They do so, but suddenly, the two grab her arms and drag her back into the doorway; her fight or flight instinct kicks in, making her retaliate. However, Daniela is unable to free herself, and Harlow simpers that they meet again - the kitten wanted to play with more of her lives. Disgusted, Daniela growls that if he tries anything more, he'll receive emotional damage.

Without warning, she realizes that Mya intended on betraying her to the Parkers all along, which she confirms, snickering that she told her grandparents about her plan from the very start. Refusing to be captured, Daniela knocks Ivanna loose and makes a run for the door. Despite her efforts, Harlow captures her again and drags her back to the room. Mya commands him and Ivanna to take her away, and they drag her away. Once Daniela is locked in a spare room, Ivanna informs Mya of her capture and their intent to hold her hostage, and Harlow promises to keep her down sinisterly. Mya mutters that her parents can't be gone, startling him, and he whispers that he should show Daniela how to "cooperate." Remembering that Mya is still in front of him, he orders her to go sleep so they can deal with matters privately, and frowning, she retorts that he can't tell her what she can do. Harlow repeats himself sternly, and angrily, Mya snaps that no one died and made him leader before storming off to her room. As she looks at herself in the mirror, a crazed Ivanna walks in, and Mya asks what she can to do her. Out of nowhere, Ivanna slams her up against the wall and forces her jaws open, pouring a glass of spiked water down her throat. The amount of drugs in the glass causes Mya to instantly pass out, and after she collapses onto the floor, Ivanna warns her that misbehavior will make her pay the price - but her ordeal will be over with soon. She then exits her room.

#### *Ultimatum*

"*Oh, please! What gives me the right to be frightened by* you*?" [...] "*You *invaded my mansion when my granddaughter* **forbade you** *from stepping a foot in here again. That, and you tried freeing that* **brattish prisoner***. Harlow may be out gardening right now, but that doesn't mean I'm letting you off the hook - I have every right to make the two of you **PAY**!*"
—Ivanna threatening Amira and Winter

After Mya wakes up, she slowly pieces together what happened to her following her spat with Harlow. She recalls a figure in her doorway who stood on heels, coming to the realization that the figure was Ivanna. Then, everything floods through Mya's memory - Ivanna pushed her up against the wall and forcibly drugged her, leaving her on the floor until the very moment she woke up. Mya feels sick, now knowing that her grandmother drugged her for her wild behavior - and that Winter was right about her being drugged prior the first time. Desperate to know what motive she has against her, Mya aims to find out, fearing that the next dosage she gives her will be fatal. She exits her room, hearing the chimes of piano keys from another room, and creaking open the door, she finds out that Ivanna is playing the piano with raw talent. Finishing her tune, she comments that it was wonderful, and despite her qualms with her, Mya smiles. She creaks open the door, catching Ivanna's attention, and she invites her to come inside. Upon seeing her granddaughter, she encourages her not to apologize and admits that she enjoys playing the piano as a pasttime. Mya agrees that it's entertaining, questioning if she wants to go downstairs, and agreeing, the two head down. Mya observes something foreign in Ivanna's eyes, wondering if she's hiding the fact that she drugged her. In the living room, Harlow stands near the bookshelf, smirking and hiding something behind his back which Mya can't see, and Ivanna joins his side.

Greeting his granddaughter, Harlow reveals that they have reached the final stage of their plan, keeping his hand tucked out of sight from Mya. He adds that they commend her for her resilience and obedience, and Ivanna winks at her, agreeing with her husband. Mya gives thanks, and eager to continue, Harlow remarks that every piece of the puzzle is in place, sans one - one of the girls still poses a threat to their plans with her intellect - and much to Mya's dismay, he names Evie. Harlow, blaming her for causing disruption and disorder with recent events, takes out his dagger from behind his back, shocking Mya. He then gives her a chilling ultimatum - she has until tomorrow night to kill Evie - and if she doesn't, he and Ivanna will dispose of her themselves. Mya, uneasily accepting that her grandparents want her girlfriend dead, takes the dagger and promises to murder Evie. Harlow praises her, informing her that she can leave and that Ivanna will make breakfast in an hour. Meanwhile, Evie, Winter, and Amira worry for Daniela; Winter starts to believe Harlow has her, but Amira stammers that he can't and that they must hope the Parkers don't commit any monstrosity on her. When Rex barges inside Evie's house and reports that Daniela is missing, Evie reluctantly admits that Harlow and Ivanna must be holding her hostage - they have far too many tricks on their side. Rex panics, wailing that they're going to mess Daniela up, but Opal soothes her and instead offers to make tea.

Amira, determined, exclaims that she's going to return to Hollowleaf Mansion in order to free Daniela. Winter adds that she'll go with her, knowing that she'll need backup if they have to fight the Parkers and Mya. Both declare their intent to defeat the Parkers. Back at Hollowleaf Mansion, Mya thinks about her ultimatum and the two lives she is split between. The first life involves betraying Harlow and Ivanna and returning to Evie, starting anew, while the second involves killing Evie and giving herself and the Parkers access to Pineshadow's riches and power. She notes that if she chooses the second life, she'd save Harlow and Ivanna from their current reputation and be a queen. Before she can think more, Harlow orders her to check on Daniela in her prison room. During Mya's confrontation with Daniela, she realizes with dread that Harlow has been abusing Daniela, as he has spent his sweet time in her room while she and Ivanna have not. After exiting the room, Mya sees a photograph of Ivanna's hand the day she got married to Harlow, hallucinating that Evie is holding her own hand and breaking down in guilt. That night, Mya awakes after a nightmare and stares at her reflection in the blade of Harlow's dagger, nothing that a cutthroat queen is what the Parkers want her to be. With her grandparents unaware of her sneaking out, Mya roams Hollowleaf Mansion, trying to find solace and put her conflicting emotions to rest. In the wine cellar, Mya's loyalties to Harlow and Ivanna rip apart when she remembers her first kiss with Evie, but knowing that her grandparents depend on her, she vows to never let them fall again as long as she is the Queen of Daggers.

The next day, Evie bids farewell to Winter and Amira as they head out on their mission to free Daniela from Harlow and Ivanna. On their mission, Winter peers through one of the windows in Hollowleaf Mansion, seeing Harlow talk to Ivanna. Harlow gives his wife a kiss on the cheek and walk out, and Winter warns Amira, making the two hide behind a bush. He walks past them and around the house, and once he disappears, Amira obeserves Ivanna through the window while Winter catches the door. Inside, Ivanna is looking up at the ceiling; her head jerks in the direction of upstairs, seemingly being summoned by Mya, and she walks away. With the coast clear, Winter and Amira enter Hollowleaf Mansion, and staying clear of Ivanna and Mya, the two check the doors on the bottom left side of the mansion. However, none hold Daniela. Winter suggests going upstairs, causing Amira to remember Ivanna's assault on her and Daniela in the secret room where she played into her trauma and turned into Shetani. Shaking away those thoughts, she follows Winter upstairs. Winter finds the door that Daniela is behind and starts to break down, but in her desperation to rescue Daniela, Ivanna sneaks up behind her and grabs Amira. The latter screams, and turning around, Winter finds Ivanna laughing madly as she holds her squirming girlfriend. She snickers that it's the "rat" from before, and developing an idea upon seeing the stairwell, she flings Amira down it. Winter, mortified, runs down and stares at her in shock, failing to notice Ivanna, who cuffs her on the ear with an object and pins Amira to the ground with her boot.

Amira struggles to break free, but the Parker kicks her in the head, sending her into the floor with a thud. Winter loses control of her temper and immediately draws her knife, warning Ivanna to let Amira go before she cuts her jugular vein in half. Snorting, she retorts that she's not frightened by her; she invaded her mansion when she got exiled, and even though Harlow is out gardening, she has every right to make her and Amira pay. Amira, despite the pain in her body, exclaims that they know the truth about her and Harlow - they're greedy, only want to fend for themselves, and made Mya's parents disappear. Upon hearing the remark, Ivanna presses her boot heel down on her throat and screams at her to be quiet. Winter, her anger ten times more potent than poison, spits that they're just as intelligent as the Parkers. They're psychopaths for destroying families like it's just a game, especially her own family, but she won't let them do it again. Her lips parting in a scowl, Ivanna scolds her for her lack of manners, and promising to discipline Winter for her reckless behavior. She fumbles around in her pocket and pulls out a revolver, loading a bullet inside and pointing it at Winter, which frazzles her and makes her drop her guard. However, instead of targeting her adoptive granddaughter, Ivanna points the revolver at Amira. The young girl glances up, and seeing the gun aimed at her head, she lets out a blood-curdling scream.

Ivanna threatens Winter by saying that Amira will be executed right in front of her should she take steps closer, but refusing to be fazed, Winter moves closer and snaps that it's just another trick in her book of lies. Scoffing, Ivanna remarks that she's a tryhard for going off and pushing the limits to get what she wants, and deciding to prove that her threat is serious, she points the revolver at the floorboards and fires. This terrifies the girls, and covering the hole in the floorboards with a boot, Ivanna gives Winter a choice - she can back down and allow herself and Amira to survive - or she defies her, which would lead to Amira's death. Amira wishes for everything to be over, her vision so distorted that Ivanna briefly turns into Shetani, terrifying her. Ivanna prompts Winter for a response, suffocating Amira further, and thinking of everything she has gone through ends up pushing Winter to her limits. She takes a step closer to Ivanna, demanding that she lets her girlfriend go, even adding that she will kill her ten thousand times before Amira pleads for her to stop. She says that if she fights Ivanna, they will both die, encouraging her to not let her anger go to her head. Winter, realizing that she can't slice open Ivanna's throat no matter how hard she wants to for everything she's done, she concedes and tells her that she can't let her kill Amira. Ivanna, pleased with her obedience, allows Amira to escape and orders the two to follow her, as they'll stay put just like Daniela from now on. The two obey without a word.

—Ivanna disowning Mya for her betrayal

Harlow and Ivanna reveal their presence to Evie, who has just been ambushed by Mya. Harlow praises her, noting that their plan is almost finished, and with dread, Evie realizes that the Parkers masterminded this ambush and had their granddaughter do their dirty work. She questions if they want her dead, and snickering, Harlow murmurs that she should have never underestimated them. Focusing on Mya, he orders her to finish it, and Evie pleads that she can't kill her; she still has a heart. Ignoring her, Mya nods at her grandfather and raises the dagger up with both hands, telling Evie that they both know how this goes - she put her nose in places where it shouldn't have been, meddling with their plans even though she told her that they needed to be apart. However, she never learned her lesson, and it's time for her to pay for her mistakes. Before she can murder her, Evie reveals that she still loves her, which shocks Mya and makes her realize that she has gone too far. In tears, she refuses to go through with her deed, much to the ire of both Parkers, who then slink back into the shadows. Evie and Mya happily reunite with each other and prepare to find the other girls and get out. However, a voice warns that they aren't going anywhere - Harlow. Mya freezes in terror, unable to say a word. Without warning, Harlow swings his dagger at his granddaughter and stabs her in the back, making her let out a blood-curdling scream. She collapses on the ground, grunting in pain, blood staining her backside. Evie screeches her name and falls to her side, pleading for her to get up.

Ivanna taunts her granddaughter by stating that it's a shame she thought she could get out of this in one piece, noting that betrayal comes with a heavy price in the family. As Evie tries to help her to her feet, Ivanna confesses to Mya that she became too wild to control, remarking that greed destroyed her loyalties and that it was time she was disposed of. Harlow growls that it's game over, but refusing to be put down, Mya wipes away her tears and retorts that they're going to have to fight her first. However, Ivanna quickly overpowers her, as she slams her into the ground, sending her vision spiraling. Evie calls out her name again, fury building, and blood leaks out of Mya's mouth from a cut on her tongue. Harlow mutters that she's done, ordering Ivanna to take Mya back to Hollowleaf Mansion, and she drags her semi-unconscious granddaughter away. When Evie wakes up in the wine cellar, her annoyance fades once she remembers what just happened with Mya and the Parkers, and with time ticking away to stop Harlow and Ivanna's destruction, Evie resolves to find a way out. Despite her efforts, she can't escape and prays that Mya is rescued - and that the Parkers are stopped and pay for their actions. Suddenly, Daniela busts the door to the wine cellar down and warns her to be quiet so Harlow and Ivanna don't detect them, pulling herself and Evie into a nook. Evie asks if she's alright - she never returned from her trip. Sighing and taking her hand, Daniela reveals that she almost convinced Mya to change sides, but she betrayed her last minute, having lied to her about wanting to defect all along. Since then, Harlow and Ivanna have held her prisoner and wouldn't let her leave her prison room until she escaped. Evie inquires about the whereabouts of Winter and Amira, and wincing, Daniela mentions that they're prisoners, but she doesn't know where; she only knows that Amira got thrown down the stairs by Ivanna, making Winter scream.

Her friend is horrified, and she comments that Ivanna is a sneaky fox for using Amira's trauma as a means to stop Winter from killing her. Evie, sick, calls Ivanna a psychopath and despicable for her actions, and switching the topic, Daniela asks how she got trapped in the wine cellar. Her eyes go wide, recalling the sickening events she saw in Hollowleaf Forest, and Daniela takes up her hands, encouraging her to stay strong. Evie, nodding gratefully, explains that Mya sent her a genuine letter expressing her intentions for them to meet in Hollowleaf Forest. Once they met up, they walked in the forest and admired the starlight, with Evie believing that Mya had reformed for good. This quickly was disproven, as Mya pinned her and pulled a dagger on her, revealing her intentions to murder her. Harlow and Ivanna were there, having masterminded the whole meeting, and Mya nearly killed her. Frantic, Daniela questions what she has just heard and how Evie is still alive, and reluctantly, she admits that she told Mya she'd always love her even if she died at her hands. Daniela, in disbelief, asks how she loves her after everything, and proud, Evie confesses that she never saw evil in Mya - in these times, she was taught to have confidence. Deep in her heart, she knew the real Mya would return; and when she peeled the layers back, she found her again. Daniela finishes for her, and Evie nods, lip shaking as she continues. She states that just when they had reunited, Harlow figuratively and literally backstabbed Mya with his dagger, weakening her, and the last thing she knew, Mya was taken back to the mansion while she was thrown in the wine cellar. Daniela figures that Mya is imprisoned like Amira and Winter, noting that they have to be found - in order to do that, they have to beat the Parkers at their own game. Evie gets up, approaching the door and remarking that they have no more time to lose to stop Harlow and Ivanna, in addition to saving Pineshadow.

A lingering thought then crosses her mind, and she inquires as to who captured Daniela, to which she names Harlow. Her blood going cold, she demands what he did, and quieting her, Daniela reveals to her exactly how she escaped - seduction. In the flashback, she asks Harlow if she wants something that Ivanna can't give him. After she is done explaining, the two head to the dining room, searching for both Parkers, but they are nowhere in sight. While Daniela rescues Winter and Amira, Evie struggles to find Mya, refusing to even think that Ivanna could have killed her. She gives up, knowing that she can't waste any more time before Harlow and Ivanna strike. However, upon hearing a noise in the walls, she realizes that Ivanna sealed Mya inside them. Angered, she calls Ivanna a two-faced psycho and breaks down a secret compartment, rescuing her girlfriend at last. As Evie swiftly texts Mya's parents to inform them that she's safe, Harlow and Ivanna approach from upstairs. Ivanna hisses that they're not going anywhere and blocks the doors with Harlow by her side. Harlow growls that they won't see daylight, preparing to eliminate the five girls, but Daniela retorts that not if they can't help it, urging the girls to run. She creates a distraction by throwing a vase at Harlow, which allows her and the girls to make a break for it. The Parkers pursue them as if they are hunting dogs, remaining on their tail. Mya runs alongside Evie, and despite the pain from her wound plaguing her, she finally feels free away from the Parkers and ready to live the perfect life with Evie. However, these thoughts are swiftly derailed when her foot catches in a tree root, and she slams into the dirt. Evie, noticing her absence among the girls, sees her at the top of the hill and shrieks. Mya attempts to get back on her feet, but by then, it is too late, as Harlow and Ivanna catch up to their granddaughter, triumphant.

Amused, Harlow comments that this is quite the predicament she seems to be in, and Mya snaps at him to leave her alone, staggering upright. Before she can make a move, Ivanna throws her into the ground and pins her with her boot heel. The girls are left angered, and Evie tries to charge forward, but Winter and Amira hold her back, unwilling to let her do anything reckless. Circling Mya, Harlow snickers that she's pathetic and weak for throwing away the power she could have obtained, but it doesn't matter anymore, as they never needed her anyway. This horrifies her, her face bone dry, and she realizes that she was being used all along - now the Parkers have achieved what they wanted. Ivanna scoffs that they were going to get rid of her once she killed Evie, but then she chose to complicate things by choosing to spare her girlfriend, and frightened and sobbing, she struggles to ask if they genuinely loved her. Ivanna hisses that they never did, deeming her a traitor for refraining to kill Evie and turning her back on her and Harlow. She presses her boot heel down on Mya's chest, cutting off her air supply more, causing the anger of the girls to grow. Mya begs for Ivanna to stop desperately, voice twisting in heartbreak, and Evie growls, struggling to control her temper. Ivanna ignores her, instead moving her heel to her neck and making her wheeze. Harlow paces around Mya again, having more to say to his tormented granddaughter. He states that she fell for every lie they told her - she was never royalty, the chosen one, or a person destined for any kind of power - what happened when she chose to live a lie and has a fickle heart. He then adds that she failed one of her own best friends when she needed, ripping into Mya more as she realizes that he is referring to Daniela. Every single word she told her about Harlow's predatory behavior was true; he is a predator and abuser, and dejected, Mya calls herself the spawn of the devil. Ivanna, building off her husband's thoughts, points out that she could have never become so evil if she hadn't let her curiosity decide her actions, and that once they got her, they made her into a criminal.

She laughs wickedly, looking at Mya's petrified face, and savoring her pain, Ivanna continues, saying that Bonnie and Clyde were one thing, but they never had a real accomplice. Her words sink in for Mya, who now realizes that she is a criminal, crying in such distorted agony that Winter becomes tearful, and she loosens her grip on Evie. Mya pleads for the Parkers to have mercy, claiming that she doesn't want to fight or live more lies, but only wants to atone for her mistakes. Cackling, Harlow remarks that her innocent soul is tainted with darkness, and mocking her for her stupidity, he decides that they'll punish her right then and there - a devious, pleasuring thought crossing his mind. Choosing to reveal his and Ivanna's secret, he asks Mya if she'd like to know how her maternal grandparents actually died. The girls, especially Evie and Winter, are horrified as Mya is left aghast, her mouth flopping open and closed, eyes betraying her emotional turmoil. As Amira murmurs that this is all too familiar, Harlow launches into his and Ivanna's story on Elloise and Luca. Long ago, they were once fine grandparents, so fine that they were the talk of the town, destructable hearts weakened by kindness. Meanwhile, the Parkers were inferior. Ivanna takes over for her husband, adding that Elloise and Luca had all the money in the world to save them from peril, but they shunned them, deeming the two as a terrorizing force out of fear that they would tear Mya apart. According to Ivanna, the two would rue the day, calling them twats. Harlow continues, mentioning that it only took one spark to kill Elloise and Luca, their mansion engulfled in flames. Afterward, their money was transferred to him and Ivanna, but despite paying for the funeral, it was never enough - they wanted glory and much more. Nodding, Ivanna tickles Harlow's chin, growling at Mya that her two-faced family left them in the dirt to die. It started with her grandparents, then left off at her parents, and now ends with her.

Her heart broken into pieces, Mya can't control the tears dripping down her face or her wobbling arms, struggling to come to terms with her maternal grandparents being murdered by the Parkers, who had killed them because of their overwhelming greed and covered everything up whilst also running from the law. She wails that they're lying, ripping up hunks of grass, but Harlow only doubles down on his and Ivanna's words, innocently putting his hands in his pockets. He compares defying the law to the brush of a gun, finding it thrilling and believing that Elloise and Luca had no chance against them. He then tells Mya that everything became perfect the moment she became a part of their life - she served her purpose, as rotten as she is, but even if they're close to victory, she's a traitor and still needs to be dealt with. Ivanna kicks Mya back to her feet, and in a chilling, venomous tone, Harlow orders his granddaughter to run away and never come back to Pineshadow; she is a criminal and will be arrested, thrown into juvenile forever should she stay - nobody will ever accept her for the demon she is. Evie and Daniela shout out to Mya, pleading for her to not listen to Harlow, but by then, the damage has already been done. Dead certain that she is a criminal and a traitor to everyone, Mya stumbles into Hollowleaf Forest, leaving her old life and what she has fought for behind. With their mission complete, Harlow and Ivanna are about to return to their mansion when Evie draws their attention onto her and the girls, reminding them of their presence. She warns that they'll tell the world of what they've done, and although Ivanna snaps at her to get lost, Evie spits that they'll regret the day they manipulated Mya into becoming a cruel, power-hungry queen, scarred her friends. They messed with those she loved and Pineshadow and are criminals who only wanted to watch the world burn, and declaring that they'll die fighting, Evie leads the girls into battle.

Winter pulls her pocket knife and faces Ivanna, Amira by her side. Ivanna approaches the two, preparing to scratch out Winter's eyes, but she already knows her moves, blocking her hand and tearing into her blouse with her knife. Chunks of fabric falls to the ground as she keeps tearing through, Amira holding Ivanna's arm against her chest. Enraged, Ivanna snarls that she paid a hefty price for her blouse, toppling Winter and sending her to the ground. Seeing that her granddaughter is dazed, she shakes off Amira, then picks her up and slams her into a tree. Winter, agonized, accidentally throws her pocket knife right into Ivanna's hands. Swiftly, her vision clears, and much to her horror, Ivanna points the knife blade at Amira. She taunts that she should've been more careful with her weapon; instead of attacking Amira, she goes for Winter. Jumping up to her, she cuts the blade through the flesh of her neck, and blood trickles down to her shirt. Amira screeches at her to stay away from Winter, startling Ivanna, who turns around just as the younger girl whams her into the ground. Catching the knife, Amira tosses it back to Winter, and Ivanna snaps that they're brats. She throws Amira into a tree root and glares at Winter, but before she can react, her granddaughter slashes her cheek open with the pocket knife blade. Blood droplets splatter the area, and distracted by her pain, Ivanna fails to see Winter slide over to Amira. She encourages her to keep fighting, but Ivanna interrupts their moment, violently kicking Winter back into the tree. This time, the force is enough to knock her unconscious.

Fueled by rage and desires of vengeance, Amira yells that if Ivanna thought she could murder Winter, she has another thing coming. Sliding over to Winter's body, she grabs her pocket knife and rises back in front of Ivanna, slashing at her madly. As Daniela runs into Hollowleaf Forest, she notices Amira fighting Ivanna by herself with Winter's knife, her girlfriend unmoving on the ground. Upon meeting Mya, Daniela informs her that Winter is unconscious and bloody - Amira is battling Ivanna solo. When the two return to the battlefield, they see Amira fighting Ivanna desperately, battered and bruised. Despite her swiftness and stamina, the Parker has proven to be a match for her and has the advantage. Beside them, Winter is still passed out, her knife laying beside her. Mya, noticing that Evie is in danger, confronts Harlow and reveals herself to him, shocking Ivanna, who questions how this is possible. Amira pins her, leaping on her back and telling her that she gets the last laugh. Mya is quick to reveal her intentions to Harlow - she wants to be killed so Evie can survive, and Ivanna demands what she just said. Angered by her words, Amira punches her jaw, and she sinks back to the ground. Once Mya and Daniela subdue Harlow, Daniela runs to Amira's side to fight Ivanna with her. She asks if she's ready to do this, and agreeing, Amira declares that it's time to roll out. She slides under Ivanna's legs, distracting her. Confused, she tries to search for Amira, only for Daniela to punch her hard enough that she breaks a bone in her cheek. Spitting out teeth and blood, Ivanna flings herself at Daniela, pinning her arms behind her back and licking the blood off her lips.

Spitting out teeth and blood, Ivanna flings herself at Daniela, pinning her arms behind her back and licking the blood off her lips. Amira snaps that if she messes with her best friend, she'll burn her down, leaping up and grabbing a strand of Ivanna's hair - then ripping it off cleanly. She drops it to the ground, jeering that she's welcome, and enraged, Ivanna grabs her cheek and violently slams her into the dirt. Amira loses her bearings, and delighted, she then kicks her on the side of her face, making her yelp in pain. Daniela restrains her, but upon hearing Harlow in danger, Ivanna throws her off and leaves her to tend to Amira. The latter clings onto her arm, exhausted and worried. Mya teases Harlow, asking if he wants more as she ducks under him, then deilvers two blows to his stomach, causing him to cough. However, Harlow gains strength upon seeing Ivanna and strikes Mya on her neck, briefly winding her, but she hastily gets back on her feet, only to run into Ivanna. Stunned, Mya is forced into the middle of the clearing, stranded in the open and surrounded by both Parkers. Evie gasps in horror, noting that no one can defend her girlfriend now. Harlow and Ivanna circle their granddaughter, who feels sick to her stomach and overwhelmed with fear. Harlow taunts her for her "show of dominance," and Ivanna warns her that her time is over, saying that the atonement plot was great, but all she is just a weak crybaby. Mya growls, attempting to regain her will to fight, but Harlow crushes her in a single blow when he encourages her to give up - asking what she thinks would happen if her parents found out that she shot up the town and tried to kill Evie. She falls to the ground, on the verge of shedding tears from her eyes, recalling that her parents are missing and don't know about her prior bad motives.

Mya, fearing that she will never be her parents' daughter again if they find out that she nearly murdered Evie, lets tears fall from her eyes. Daniela, determined to keep her friend's spark alive, reminds her that she is more than her mistakes, and Amira joins in, urging her to rise up. From her place by the tree, Evie wills her on, quietly praying. Across the clearing, Winter finally regains consciousness, noticing the Parkers surrounding Mya, and she gasps. Retreating into her thoughts, Mya thinks about the aftermath of the battle - losing Pineshadow's respect, her ruined reputation, and being rejected by her parents, which makes her want to give in under the pressure. However, a single spark remains in her heart, one that grows into a roaring fire, and she declares that she isn't a queen, rogue, or criminal - but will go down with Harlow and Ivanna dead. She ascends back to her feet, shocking Ivanna, and casting green eyes on them, she snaps that this battle isn't over, not as long as they're alive. Until her dying breath, she'll make sure that doesn't remain the case, vowing to make them reap what they have sewn. Mya feels just as powerful as a phoenix, almost reborn. Harlow and Ivanna lunge at her, but she leaps the highest she has ever leapt into the air, and the Parkers smash into each other. She then calls Daniela to her side, stating that they must finish this, and Daniela in turn offers to switch places. Mya agrees, taking on Ivanna while Daniela takes on Harlow. She screams at Ivanna that she drugged her and wanted her silent, but it's now judgment day, coming down on her face with her fists. The amount of power in Mya's blows bruises Ivanna's head, and blood pours out of her mouth, making her more determined to kill her. Daniela also violently battles Harlow, getting her well-deserved revenge on him for what he did to Mya and what he did to her and her friends. For a minute, the two combat the Parkers fiercely, attacking with sheer vengeance.

Mya swerves away from Ivanna, distracting her enough so that she doesn't see her coming toward her, and she swings a fist at her forehead. Howling, Ivanna collapses onto the ground unconscious. Seconds later, Daniela knocks out Harlow. Mya approaches the tree where Evie is laying by, her heart thudding as she notices how weakened she is, and she questions if the battle is over. Mya admits that they have little time left, but need to get out before Harlow and Ivanna awaken. Taking her hands, Mya welcomes the warmth and tries to pull Evie back up, but she falls back in pain, making her realize that her ankle is sprained. She begins to apologize somberly, but Harlow, face disfigured, teeth shattered, and greatly bloodied, cuts her off - preparing to kill the two. However, Evie inadvertently saves herself and Mya by pulling her back, causing her to fire the gun she is holding. A single bullet flies toward Harlow, who doesn't even notice it due to being too transfixed on his granddaughter. It pierces his head in a fatal blow, and swaying, Harlow falls onto the ground, twitching. Seconds later, he dies from the gunshot wound. Mortified by what she has just done, Mya feels her emotions swirl around her as she struggles to comprehend that she just killed Harlow. Ivanna, heartbroken and in anguish, runs over to Harlow's body and shakes it, pleading for him to wake up and unable to accept his death. Mya briefly dotes on taking pity on her grandmother, but chooses not to, as she deserves hell already. Crawling up to her feet, Mya tells Evie to stay by the tree while she checks on the other girls, and she nods, allowing her to join Amira, Winter, and Daniela. She asks if they're okay, and Amira confirms this, inquiring if she actually just killed Harlow.

Nervously, Mya nods, worrying that she'll go to jail, but Daniela disagrees, pointing out that Harlow was killed in self-defense and that she had a valid reason to kill him anyway. Winking, she says that she committed a worthwhile crime, proud of her move, relieving Mya. Suddenly, Ivanna confronts the girls and points a gun at Mya, threatening to kill her and the rest of them for causing Harlow's death. Empowered by the girls, Mya doesn't back down and challenges Ivanna, asking her to bring it. With a war cry, Ivanna expects her to die, but instead, someone in black leather slams her gun into the sky - and it falls down into the hands of Daniela. Dumbfounded, she asks how, and Daniela says that she's a dumbass, pointing out that she isn't thinking clearly and wondering how killing Mya will benefit her. She retorts that she killed her husband, but Daniela replies that payback is sweet until it's not anymore - Harlow will never come back even if she murders her granddaughter. She jokes that she's watched too much *Young Frankenstein*, and infuriated, Ivanna states that she hasn't. Daniela teases her for acting like a child who didn't get a lollipop at the candy store, noting that she was far more professional than she was. On a scale of one to ten, Ivanna's a six - tried to kill them all, already committed a murder, and is exactly like Bonnie - but she never had the determination and craft of a master villain. She asks if anyone's seen her for who she really is, further humiliating Ivanna, who hisses that she'll murder her. This doesn't stop Daniela from ranting on, and she points the gun at her neck, revealing that she was a villain like her once.

She turned evil after letting herself believed her ex-girlfriend caused her downfall, making her lust for pain and the destruction of her enemies. At one point, she almost killed her friends. Unlike Ivanna, however, she fought for her redemption, gave up her old ways, and is now the person she wants to be. Pointing the gun at Ivanna's chin, she tells her that people similar to her will never change. She's bent on murder; Harlow deserved to die for what he did to her and Mya in his broken house. She can also kill her right now if she wants to, which she is certain she will do. Ivanna, a manic, aggressive scowl on her face, spits that she's a child and is in no way as powerful as she is. Daniela walks up to her with the gun, growling at her to try her - taking a step closer and calling her a bitch, much to the shock of the girls. Ivanna snaps that she's a monstrous demon child, trying to grab her, but Daniela evades her and backs up. Too desperate to avenge Harlow and destroy the girls, Ivanna continues her mad charge, but Daniela stops her by swinging the gun at her face. She stumbles backward, her head erupting with blazing pain. Before she can see it, her boot heel lodges in a tree root, causing Ivanna to fall head-first onto a rock. Her neck immediately snaps, killing her, her head limply lolling to the side. Mya proclaims that they've won, stopped Harlow and Ivanna, and saved Pineshadow, feeling free again. Upon seeing how terribly Evie is injured, Mya believes she is no better than the Parkers, but her girlfriend assures her that she's atoned for everything.

The last of Harlow and Ivanna's influence on Mya fades, and realizing that her grandparents never truly tore her and Evie apart, she kisses her passionately. One week later, Mya awakens in Daniela's house, her memories of the battle with the Parkers foggy. She murmurs that Daniela killed Ivanna, which her mother is aware of; Rex mentions how much blood she lost as a result of the battle. Mya notes that she hadn't come to realize that while fighting Harlow and Ivanna because of Daniela boosting her strength. As she and Daniela hang with Winter and Amira, Mya comes to the conclusion that the events of the past few months stemmed from family - including Harlow and Ivanna, the grandparents who murdered her kin, ran from the law, and turned her rotten, only to backstab her in the end. The next day, Mya's parents finally return. Mya apologizes for her actions under her grandparents' corruption, but her parents accept her, as do Winter, and they hug. Mya also reveals to her mother that Harlow and Ivanna killed Elloise and Luca because of their greed, merely using the funeral as a way to trick her. Amira and Daniela both realize that the scribbled diary pages contained Harlow's confession that he and Ivanna killed them - he just didn't want the evidence to be known, hence why he scratched it out. Daniela comments that it's amateur detective work, patting Amira on her back, and she replies "no shrimp, Sherlock," hugging her. A week later, Mya takes Evie to the Pond of Ori, wanting to show her it, as the Parkers' control prevented her from doing so before. As they lay in the pond, Mya notes that she retained enough of her old self to break free of the Parkers.

## Personality and Traits

Much akin to her husband in traits, Ivanna is short-tempered, cynical, insidious, controlling, and always cares for herself and Harlow more than anyone else. Unlike Harlow, she can very easily blow her temper and express annoyance or fury at disruptions, such as during the argument with the girls in *Rising Tensions* or when she puts up with Mya's obnoxious ranting in said episode. When belittled or defied, she is shown to go into intense fits of rage or a screaming match. She is devoutly loyal to Harlow and follows his lead without any question, engaging in dangerous acts and going as far as to drug Mya twice so the Parkers could continue planning behind her back in addition to threatening to kill Amira right in front of Winter. Despite her profound loyalty, Ivanna seems to be more sensible than her husband at times, correcting him when his behavior is off-putting and chastising him for some of his inappropriate actions. This suggests that while she is heartless and shriveled, she does seem to have boundaries and isn't afraid to speak her opinions. She is also manipulative, gaslighting Mya into stealing her parents' money only so they can benefit and painting it as something for the greater good of the family. She also used Amira as leverage in order to make Winter back into submission.

Like Harlow, what prominently defines Ivanna is her true disturbing and extremely psychotic nature which can be viewed as even more dangerous than her husband's own. Ivanna is ruthless, pursuing her enemies and making sure they pay to the point of threatening to dispose of them. In *Rise to Power*, she shows no mercy when she attacks Amira and Daniela, and using information she learned about Amira's past from Mya, she uses her craftiness to pry into her trauma - acting just like her dead aunt, Shetani. This depicts Ivanna as needlessly cruel and sadistic. She also enjoys demonizing those she views as under her, such as children - especially Amira. Wanting to always get her way, Ivanna will use emotional and physical torment to make her victims submissive, not stopping until they are defeated. One such example is shown in *Ultimatum* when she pulls a gun on Winter and threatens to murder Amira right in front of her should she attack, even pulling the trigger back to emphasize her point. In *Warbringer*, Ivanna nearly kills Winter by bashing her head into a tree twice and threatens to murder Mya and the other girls, claiming that it was retribution for Mya causing Harlow's death. When Daniela began to take advantage of her lapses in judgment, Ivanna goes insane and suggests that a child can't kill her, implying that she thought she was immortal in that moment.

However, what proves to be Ivanna's undoing is her overwhelming desires for revenge and her wishes to kill the five girls, notably Mya, whom she drugged twice and emotionally/physically tortured in the span of a few weeks. Too blind in her actions, she misjudges the resilience of the girls, in particular Daniela, who outmaneuvers her and deliberately teases her, fueling her cold fury and rotten apathy. This causes her to lose it, and she tries to kill Daniela, only for her to slam her gun into her forehead - which leads to her death at the hands of a rock.

* She is based off Miss Trunchbull from *Matilda* and Odalia Blight from *The Owl House*.
* The beginning letters of Harlow and Ivanna's names, H and I, could serve as an allusion to the G-Eazy and Halsey song *Him & I*. Along with *Partners In Crime*, *Him & I* serves as an anthem for both Ivanna and Harlow.
	+ In addition, Harlow and Ivanna are a spitting reflection of notorious criminal duo Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, otherwise known as Bonnie and Clyde. Between 1931 and 1934, the two murdered fourteen civilians whilst robbing multiple banks and towns before being killed in Louisiana during a shootout with police. Like Bonnie and Clyde, the Parkers were also murderers, enjoyed running from the law, and desired riches and power. This is fitting, as Bonnie and Ivanna both share the same last name.
* Ivanna was aware that Harlow was actively hitting on Daniela and preying on her; she was in full support of his actions, which according to Av, she believed was part of their plan to conquer Pineshadow.
* She is remarkably talented at playing the piano.
