After the Snider family head dies, Marisa is urged to reclaim her heritage as the sole designated heiress, but she insists she cut ties three years ago. She changes course and asks Whitney to take her back; she learns July, an adopted granddaughter who resembles her, waits at Clayton's gate. At the gate Marisa confirms she and Clayton were once together but are no longer. A woman reveals herself as Jeri Snider, accuses Marisa of returning to steal Clayton and family business, vows to stop her, and calls July, leaving Marisa confronted and blocked at the entrance.
