The restaurant is buzzing with activity as Bree and Taelyn enter, looking curious. Tasha is at the control panel, scanning through security footage. Donald is nearby, tinkering with a new gadget.

"What's going on? Aunt Gwen is here? Why would she even bother showing up?" She mumbled.

Tasha looks up, startled by Taelyn's sudden demand.

"She's your aunt, Taelyn. She wanted to see how you're doing." Tasha said reassuring her.

Bree raises an eyebrow. ""Right, because Aunt Gwen always stops by just to check in. What's the real reason, Tasha?"

Tasha hesitates, clearly annoyed. Before she can respond, Gwen bursts in with a huff.

"Well, well. Aren't we just the perfect little family now?" Gwen said. She rolls her eyes at Tasha.

Taelyn crosses her arms."Enough games. Why are you really here, Aunt Gwen?"

Gwen smirks. "I'm just concerned about you, Taelyn. I didn't think you'd be safe living under Tasha's roof."

Tasha steps in front of Taelyn, her voice stern. "That's enough, Gwen. If you're here to insult me, you can leave. Taelyn doesn't need to hear your drama."

Donald quickly jumps in, sensing the tension. "Alright, that's it. Bree, Taelyn, why don't we get you two home? I'm sure you have some homework waiting."

Bree glancing back at Gwen and Tasha. "We're not kids, you know. We can handle some family drama."

Taelyn talks to Gwen. "Seriously, though. Just go. If you're not here to help, then there's no point."

Gwen's expression darkens, and she makes a move towards Taelyn, but Tasha steps between them again, her eyes flashing.

"Don't you dare speak to her like that, Gwen. I'm not going to let you mess with Taelyn's head just because you have a grudge against me." Tasha said rejecting her.

"Oh, is that what you think? That I'm the problem?" Gwen points at Tasha. "You're the one who kept me away from her!"

"I kept you away because you don't know how to let go of the past! You're always trying to make everyone else pay for your mistakes." Tasha said.

As the argument heats up, Donald finally steps in.

"Enough! Gwen, it's time for you to leave. We're not having this conversation in front of the kids." Donald yells.

Gwen glares at Tasha, then at Taelyn. "This isn't over." She turns on her heel and storms out.

The tension in the room finally eases as the door closes behind Gwen.

Donald sighs. "Okay, let's get you two home."

Bree talks to Taelyn, as they walk out. "Well, that was intense."
