Jean’s pregnancy announcement brought joy tinged with Avery’s overwhelming interference. Avery, Scott’s close friend, inundated them with unsolicited advice, escalating to taking over their baby shower plans against Jean’s wishes.

Initially, Avery seemed supportive, but her constant critiques and controlling behavior soured their relationship. Despite Jean’s attempts to set boundaries, Avery persisted, pushing Jean to her limit. Determined to reclaim control, Jean secretly planned her own intimate baby shower with family, leaving Avery to set up an elaborate event at their home.

On the day of Avery’s meticulously arranged shower, Jean and her loved ones celebrated elsewhere, enjoying genuine warmth and support. Meanwhile, Avery’s efforts went unnoticed as no guests arrived, exposing the consequences of her overbearing actions.

Later confronted by Jean, Avery’s intentions unraveled—her infatuation with Scott had driven her to sabotage their relationship, hoping Jean would become fed up. Scott, shocked by Avery’s confession, reaffirmed his commitment to Jean, leading Avery to tearfully accept the reality that Scott’s heart belonged elsewhere.

The confrontation marked the end of Avery’s intrusive presence in their lives. With strengthened bonds and renewed trust, Jean and Scott embraced their future as parents, grateful for the challenges that had solidified their partnership.

As they welcomed their newborn, Jean knew they had weathered a storm that only strengthened their resolve to protect their family from external interference.
