Chapter 26: Wrapped!

Friends, here we are, at the end of yet another chapter in this, the saga that never ends. Its been a little less intense than previous chapters, but full of monumental achievements for some key characters.

Let's jump in to a chapter recap, shall we?

Hope & Jayce

The chapter would begin and end with Hope and Jayce Carruthers growing the years long bond they have with one another (growing together, if you will). At the close of the previous chapter, we saw Hope losing it; staying at home with two infants was the cause of overwhelming stress. That, endless laundry and the feeling of worthlessness consumed her. A break was desperately needed to reset, so that's exactly what they did.

The baecay was the perfect way to regroup, reset and rest. Through this time away in Strangerville, they were able to confront an important impediment: Hope's fear of change and/or failure - something she often struggles with. After a wild ride (pun very much intended) in the bedroom on their final night in The Ville, Hope was more determined than ever to buy a pool and start her dream of training young, future simlympic athletes.

But not without a cost:

As it would turn out, the opportunity presented itself, but Hope didn't know if it was worth it. And when a nasty dream violently ripped her from her sleep...

she was ready to let the pool, training and all her hopes and dreams go. She doesn't need anything that will trigger past trauma in her life and a dollhouse paid the ultimate price because of it.

We close out this chapter with a new journey for Hope and Jayce and we're certainly very hopeful for the future.

Jack & Jayde

As for the twins...

Surrounded by their entire family, they aged up into toddlers in Chapter 26!! They're both thriving and growing fast. They've started preschool and are learning new skills everyday! I'm sure the next chapter will bring more milestones, more skills and more abundant love from the village that surrounds them.

Darren Jr.

Ah yes, DJ. In Chapter 26, he graduated from Foxbury with a degree in engineering. Some hard lessons were learned during his college years as seen in the previous chapter. It was these lessons that made him turn to self-reflection and discovery, finding out that pro ball wasn't his passion and neither were the women that surrounded pro-ballers. In fact, a surprise visit at his graduation party solidified that.

It seems that, like his older sister, he, too, was confroted with his past in this chapter. He needed the closure, he felt more complete after the visit and could focus on life after college. He scored a nice corporate gig with his fancy new degree and moved to a bachelor pad in Ravenwood where the cost of living was lower, but not without some teasing from his loved ones.

The routine of simulated life became easy for Darren to get used to (yes, he goes by Darren now... him grown). His routine, however, was abruptly interrupted during a chance meeting at the train station while leaving his 9 to 5.

Where will it go? Where will it lead? Perhaps chapter 27 will answer that for us.

Mercy

As for Mercy, the devoted mother-in-law and grandmother, it was time to confront her past and uncover the truth - hence the name of the chapter itself!

While she was absolutely done with what she considered a waste of time, a good friend told her that she should reconsider therapy and not give up so easily. Mercy knew what was at stake if she didn't and she wanted, after so many years, to finally close out the most painful chapter of her life - one that sent her down a spiral and almost caused her to lose her relationship with her son, Jayce.

She did what she had to do, and we will speak no further of the events that immediately followed.

Speaking of Jayce, though, he needed the truth, too. So, Mercy gave it to him. All of it. She accepted his relationship with Eva and encouraged it with love in her heart, no matter how much it hurt.

I believe, that she is stronger, and her relationship with Jayce is stronger, because of it.

Indira Dior

Finally, Indira. She wants to become an actress, but getting there (as we learned in the previous chapter) was becoming harder and harder. That is, until an introduction in the previous chapter that would change her trajectory. Now that THEE Penny Pizzazz has taken an interest in her, Indira is set up for success, but Penny's pesky sister could be a deal-breaker.

After agreeing to a modeling contract (and not really reading it), Indira's career was set. She was now modeling for the most respected agency in the all the worlds, managed by one of the most respected agents in all the worlds.

And again, at what cost?

The contract, which controllled every inch of Dira, was the cause of a major rift between Indira and her mother. Indya didn't like that she wasn't consulted or that Indira felt she needed to stay out of her mom's shadow. Indya would happily move out of the way so her daughter could shine! She'd been retired for awhile, so why did Dira feel like her mother's input wasn't needed? As it would turn out, Indya was right about that dangerous contract.

Penny (and her sister) were already trying to make Dira conform to standards of beauty that just weren't what Dira wanted. In fact, her photographer, Trevor Stone, stuck his neck out for her. He knew what Dira could do and wouldn't let Penny or her sister change a thing. Trevor saw a covergirl, so, after he gained Dira's trust, that's exactly what he shot.

And it paid off big time with Dira landing the cover of a huge magazine and officially staking her claim on the modeling industry.

You could say that all was going well for Indira, however as was the case with her sister, and her brother, the past has a sneaky way of reminding you where you've been.

Oh man, this one was certainly a trigger for her and now that her face is plastered everywhere, what does this mean for her safety? What does it mean for old feelings she had? Hopefully chapter 27 will show us if this was just a chance encounter, or more...

~~~~~

Wow, what a ride chapter 26 has been as we focused on the growth of the children (and grandchildren!) or Mr. and Mrs. Drake. Chapter 27 is sure to bring changes, obstacles and even more growth for our main characters.

I hope you'll stay tuned as there is plenty of henny and lemon pepper wings leftover in the Ratchet Reading Room™.

The actress's contract didn’t mention that she would have to dress up as a fairy, so she felt a bit uncomfortable about it 🤣
