Brady's so-called grandparents continued to rant about how Hugo isn't fit to be the husband of Christa nor his dad. They diverted their attention towards Brady when he spoke up.

Christa's mom: If it isn't my lovely grandson...Looking so much like your real dad Stefan Collins.

Christa's mom: Guess the apple never falls far from the tree, does it?

Brady: I don't know what you're on about with this Collins man, but I'm probably nothing like him.

Christa's dad: You've misunderstood us...Your "dad" Hugo doesn't love you.

Christa's dad: We're just telling the truth about who you really are, Brady.

Brady: What you're saying doesn't mean jackshit to me.

Brady: You should both be ashamed of attempting to ruin Brennan's birthday...

Brady: You're so damn lucky it's not my birthday, because you'd both be on a bus back to stupid Cypress Street.

Brady: If it was my birthday, you'd be sent to the North Pole to get mauled by polar bears.

Brady: If it was my birthday, you'd be saying bye bye to those designer bags from Gucci.

Brady: If it was my birthday, you'd be thrown to the trenches instead of daring to step your lame feet inside this house.

Christa's dad: He looked ashamed and he didn't know what to say.

Brady: No one gave you the right to say who is or isn't my real dad.

Brady: If you got a problem with that, you can kiss my ass goodbye for all I care.

Ernest: Towards Christa's parents. You both tricked the hell out of me...I can't believe I fell for your lies!

Christa's mom: Ernest, that's not what it looks like...

Ernest: Whatever...F*ck you and your stupid materialistic mindset!

Ernest: I'll warn myself to pay no mind to avarice gold diggers like you both again! He stormed off angrily.

Christa's parents have no choice, but to leave the mansion because Brady stood firmly on his ground and defended his parents. They knew they screwed up. While they went outside, they ordered their chauffeur Leon to drive them home.

Christa's mom: Leon, we're leaving. Start the car.

Leon: Nah, you can call an Uber. I'm tired of driving you both around all the time. He got inside his car and drove off.

Christa's parents were furious and couldn't believe everything that happened. Eventually they left with the help of a cheap Uber.

Brady felt bad that his own grandparents came to make his parents unhappy. He apologized to his parents on their behalf, especially towards his dad.

Brady: Towards Hugo. I'm sorry for what they said about you, dad...

Brady: But don't worry...I don't believe them. Nothing can deny you're not my family.

Hugo: You're such a kind and wise young man, Brady.

They both hugged each other and Christa smiled.

Christa: Shall we go back to celebrate Brennan's birthday, honey?

Brady: Definitely, mom. Where's Brennan?

Hugo: He's upstairs in his bedroom playing video games with friends.

Brady went upstairs to greet Brennan in his room. He still had his present with him.

Brady: Hey little bro, I got you a present. The brand new Ps5 you always wanted!

Brennan: He opened his present and was really happy to see it. Thanks, dude! I can't wait to set this up in my room.

Brady: Happy birthday. Must be great turning 13.

When Brady went back to his room, he laid in bed thinking about what his grandparents had said earlier. His intuition told him that his real dad's name is Stefan Collins and was traumatized about the fact his grandparents brought up the name after so many years.

Brady: On the inside. So that's my real dad's name...Stefan.

Brady: On the inside. There must be something my parents aren't telling me about him...

Stefan and his friends were standing far in the distance of his former glorious mansion. They were going to hold hands and perform their voodoo spells in order to get back to prison without the officers knowing they had escaped again.

Stefan: My friends, it's time for us to go back even though I despise that wretched place of prison.

Kade: You're right...We have no choice if we don't want to be notified of our disappearance once more.

Roger: What's the next step of your plan, Stefan?

Stefan: Oh, this one's going to be good...

They held hands together and chanted strange voodoo words again. They vanished mid air after saying a couple more lines.

At the end of the day when Brennan's party was over, all the kids went home after being picked up by their parents. The servants of the house spent hours cleaning everything including the kitchen, the pool, and took off the decorations to restore the house back to how it was originally.

Christa: I didn't expect my parents to bring another man to our house...

Christa: I don't ever wanna speak with them again...

Hugo: Don't worry, sweetheart. Your parents are wrong about me.

Hugo: There's no way I'll allow them to convince Brady to believe their false words.

Christa: Do you think it's time to tell him the truth?

Hugo: He had a skeptical look on his face, but knows they can no longer hide the truth from Brady.

He was standing behind the wall adjacent to the other side of the room and he heard what his parents said.

Brady: He said to himself. The truth? I wonder what they'll say...
