Family History

**Family History** is the sixteenth episode of the Adelaine Jones Saga and the ninety-second Episode overall in Milo's One-shot Series book.

## Plot

On a March morning, Adelaine and Hugh are walking to their history class, taught by Miss Macy Stockham. In their history class, the two are studying about Concordia, where Adelaine's ancestors lived. After reading the book Miss Stockham gave them however, Adelaine was furious as the book defamed her ancestor Charles Dupont. She went back home with her newly adopted sister Kelsey, angry about the book's horrific inaccuracies.

Adelaine's father, David Jones noticed her anger, and when he asked about Adelaine's seemingly angry look, she and Kelsey revealed the book's misinformation to Jones, with Adelaine getting progressively more and more angry when talking about the book. Her mother Alessia, who's one of Charles Dupont's great-granddaughters noticed her daughter's obvious anger, and after reading the book herself, she got out Charles Dupont's journal, and told Adelaine and Kelsey about Dupont's true life. As the class were going to write an essay on Charles Dupont, the two shared the journal to the rest of their class before handing the essay on Wednesday.

On Friday however, Miss Stockham scolded Adelaine's entire friend group for using "false information" (this was obviously false, in fact it was Miss Stockham who's using the false information), and gave everyone in her group an F. Worse still, when Kelsey jumped in to defend Adelaine, Stockham outright harassed Kelsey by saying that Alessia isn't her mother, and that she's a fake sister and criminal. Kelsey broke down in tears afterwards as Adelaine scolded Stockham back for saying harmful things to Kelsey. Stockham later called their parents for "screwing up" the essays. Kelsey was still crying when the lesson ended, and after returning home, Alessia told the two that they'll talk about it at dinner.

At dinner, Adelaine's family met up with Sean Dupont and his father, Archie Dupont, who are also descendants of Charles Dupont. Sean was extremely angry that because of the false F, he had to comfort his boyfriend William Evans. His father, Archie was angry enough that he claimed to Alessia and Jones that they have to sue Stockham for this treachery. Adelaine's family agreed, and told Principal Gwardieza about the book and Miss Stockham's misconduct, as well as showing Charles Dupont's journal. Principal Gwardieza agreed to help them fix their grades, and out of sheer rage, Archie made a flamethrower and burnt the books with Adelaine and Sean.

Stockham later went on the Fairview High School news show hosted by William and Sean, though instead unleashed her rage and anger on the show rather than apologize. The two were able to get Miss Stockham out of the news show early, and the two later apologized to Adelaine for it. Later on, in Miss Stockham's next class, she kept on yelling at Adelaine, eventually causing her to snap and curse at her. The lawyer in charge of suing Miss Stockham told them that the case should be an easy win for them due to them having concrete proof of the book being fake. One week later at the end of March, the trial began, though the defendants instead called Adelaine's family a bunch of liars. During the trial, virtually everyone Adelaine knew was on her side, and the cross-examinations were done the next day.

Sometime later, Alessia is sitting in the break room of the Middle School, being quite stressed over the constant harassment of some teachers as they believed in the defaming book about her great-grandfather. Her family in Zurich were also angry about Stockham's defamation of their ancestor, and are supporting her from abroad. One of her colleagues, theatre teacher Mindy Zinkavich bought her a latte, and the two sat down to drink it, only for another teacher, who was against Alessia to come in and insult her. Mindy retorted back before the teacher left the break room. Mindy then told Alessia that she's an amazing mother to and teacher, and that her daughter inspired many others to join the theatre department. Alessia smiles back and tells her that they will win this court case.

The day before Adelaine's testimony, she was stressed out over how ruthless the defendants are, though her worries were gone as she was spending some time alone with her boyfriend, Hugh Anderson in his house. After Hugh slapped Adelaine's butt (which she actually liked), the two French kissed each other with Adelaine touching Hugh's tongue with her tongue. After a while, Hugh took Adelaine to his bedroom, and admitted that he wanted to have sex with Adelaine. She gladly accepted it, and the two lost their virginity as the two has a very enjoyable first time together. After they had sex, the two cuddled in bed before Hugh covered him and Adelaine up with a blanket as the two were naked. They kissed each other before taking a nap after the two were tired after making love.

During the court case, Adelaine stood her ground well, though Kelsey has been getting a lot of hateful comments due to her past, and after she completed her testimony, she broke down in tears in Jones' arms as the two embraced. During the break before the verdict was made, Jones ran into his ex-wife Charlotte, who was reading the very book that they were suing over. Charlotte insulted Jones' entire family by calling Alessia a "Nazi" and having two daughters with her, before adopting a criminal. She also doubled down on Adelaine and claiming that she has no talent. All of the shouting caused Gabriel's little son Marco to wake up and cry, and Gabriel also hit back at Charlotte for her insults. After Jones hit back at Charlotte, she tried to attack Jones, though was tased and arrested by Julian Ramis before she could do so. Gabriel comforted Jones, and voiced his support before Jones went back to his family to hear the verdict.

The jury determined that Macy Stockham is guilty of defamation and would be sentenced to 70 years in prison, also having for teaching license revoked in the meantime. Hearing this, the Jones' family embraced each other, and went to Concordia for the Easter holidays along with the Herreras, the Turners and Sean with his father. They looked at the inventions by Charles Dupont, with Sammy and Lexi, who are also tech-savvy geeks being incredibly interested in it. The episode ends as they also read Maddie Dupont, Charles' wife's journal as they dove into some family history.

## Continuity

* **A Brand New Start**: This was the first episode since Kelsey was adopted, with her serving as a main character in this episode. From the episode, it seems that Kelsey has already molded in quite well with the Jones' family.

## Trivia

* The episode is mainly based around the events of Criminal Case: Mysteries of the Past, in particular concerning the team's tech expert of the season, Charles Dupont. One of the player's partners, Madeline O'Malley is also mentioned. Like in CCOTL, Madeline was married to Charles, had her son before her husband died.
* This episode confirms that Adelaine and Hugh lost their virginity as they had sex in the episode.
* While Miss Stockham's actions towards Kelsey and her attempt to spread misinformation is enough to result in her being stripped of her teaching license and prison time for harassment and defamation, her 70-year long prison sentence was far too heavy given the context of her crimes. This is likely a writer oversight.
