Polly is still alive and kicking, plotting for world domination. (Seriously, I’ve never managed to keep a bird alive that long. That’s kind of a huge deal for me!)
Brittany heads off to school.

Over at the Tellerman residence.
Playing Rock, Paper, Scissors at 7 in the morning in your PJs while the newspaper boy delivers your newspaper? Check.
“… which is why I am excited to announce that I’ll be running for State Assemblywoman for SimCity District Nine representing Middleground, Baskerville, Elsewhere and Sim State University…”
But later that night, after her friends left, thoughts come creeping back to Jan.
“You’ve got this, Jan. You can do this!”
“Screw Leo!”
The three friends settled down in the kitchen to have dinner, and Jan recapped this afternoon’s events:
“I mean, I’m not clairvoyant. He never told me how he felt about it! And now I’m the bad guy although he…
“Darling, no one expects you to be able to read minds. This was his wrong-doing. He screwed it up.”
Jan nodded: “I just don’t know what came over me. I guess we… I just saw her standing there and- how am I able to compete with her! She’s so much younger than me and…”
“Pregnant.”, Komei interrupted.
“Yes.”
“Never knew you wanted children?”
“I don’t. Me as a mother! That would be a tremendously bad idea, not to mention that that ship has sailed a long time ago.”
“Way too much information, Jan!”
“I guess what Komei and I are trying to tell you”, Andrea chirped with a sharp look towards Komei, “is that it isn’t your fault that this played out the way it did. It is okay for you to decide that you don’t want to marry, it is okay for you to decide you don’t want kids. Leo should have told you what he wanted in life and you may have been able to come up with a compromise. But he didn’t, so…”
“Not my fault. Right. Time to focus on the campaign.”
With a smirk, Andrea turned to Komei yet again: “Say, did you take a dip in the pool while Jan and I were preparing dinner or did you just decide that you like running around half naked?”
Luckily, Jan can rely on her friends to cheer her up…
“And you should leave, too!”
“I can’t believe this! What on earth were you thinking?!”
“I was fine with you hooking up with her, although you told me you didn’t want an open relationship, but-but this?! This isn’t okay, Leo!”
Leo exploded: “What? Because it is inconvenient for your campaign? Come on! You don’t really care about me anymore, right? You don’t want to fully commit yourself to me but expect me to function like one of those well-groomed lap dogs: never step out of line, always smile, always be happy! You just don’t care!”
“That’s… that’s not what I…”
“You know what? Get off my property! We’re done!”
“Huh?”
“DON’T TELL ME YOU KNOCKED HER UP!!!”
As soon as Leo notices Kaylynn, he rushes outside to greet her!
“Wohaa! What happened there?”
