In The Everst Family Household, The Miracle Clinic is standing there stunned looking at Ronnie's Uncle, Ryan Everst, the president of the Moon Shadow Affiliate.

"Wait, so your uncle is the president of the MSA?!" Marcus asks, confused.

"Yeah, he uh- he is," Ronnie says.

"Oh nice so you've heard of it before, that takes care of the hard part," Uncle Ryan remarks, "So since the new year is soon upon us, I can get you some free clothes to start off the new year in style! If that doesn't please you I also can give you some coupons or a job if you need it."

"Oh Th-thanks," Elizabeth replies.

"Don't mention it kiddos," Uncle Ryan replies as he walks over to the kitchen, "I'm gonna help your mom with some of the food, okay Ronnie?"

"Yeah that's fine," Ronnie says.

Everyone is all smiling faces as Uncle Ryan enters the kitchen but as soon as he enters, Alex & Elizabeth get up in Ronnie's face.

"What the hell dude! Why didn't you tell us your uncle was the head of the MSA!" Alex asks.

"Yeah and if you were rich how come you've never paid for anything!" Elizabeth adds.

"We could've asked for front-row tickets to the gala, or gotten an answer about Dirty Fang from them instead of heading over to the east side!"

"Yeah, and you could've given us some nice deals too!"

"Guys guys guys!" Marcus says, "Let's calm down for a minute, there's probably a reason as to why Ronnie never brought him up, right?"

"Honestly," Ronnie begins to say, "it just didn't really feel important to mention."

"Not important?!" Alex & Elizabeth gasp.

Marcus sighs, "You're not really helping your case."

"I know but, he's my uncle, I barely see him and he doesn't really lend us money," Ronnie says.

"Oh," Alex & Elizabeth state.

"But still, now that we know about your uncle," Marcus remarks, "We could try and see if what Vanessa said holds any water."

As everyone is talking, Cameron sits there nodding along.

"Yeah but, how?" Alex asks, "We can't just go up to him and say 'hey Mister Ronnie's Uncle, did your company secretly have the city shut down a public housing unti so you can build a fashion outlet?'...At least, I don't think you can."

As they sit there, suddenly Ronnie gets an idea, "You know, there's one thing I could ask my Uncle to do."

"And what's that?" Alex asks.

The front doors to the MSA's office building swing open as Ryan Everst enters. There's not a single speck of dirt in the lobby nor is there any crack in the tiled flooring. The receptionist greets Ryan with a smile which Ryan reciprocates with a wink. However the receptionist's face turns from flattered to baffled as she sees who's behind him.

"Y'know I recall you telling me fashion was for losers when you were a little baby," Uncle Ryan laughs, "Funny how much has changed!"

"What can I say, people change with time and we're all curious about what goes down here," the person behind him says, "right guys?"

"Uhhh sure," one of the other people behind him says.

"Yeah totally," another says.

"I like clothes," another says, causing Uncle Ryan to chuckle.
