FINAL EPISODE

Theresa welcomed a newborn son into the world, surrounded by close friends she trusted—Fred, Richard, Anna, and Anita.

Remarkably, the baby looked a lot like her late son, Kyle.

Anna gently touched Theresa's cheek and said, "I'm so thankful to God for comforting my best friend again."

Tears filled Theresa's eyes as she touched Anna's pregnant belly. "You sacrificed so much for me, best friend. Because of me, Jessica was kidnapped again. You felt my pain even more than my own family did. Thank you so much," she said, hugging Anna tightly.

Anna winced as the hug put pressure on her belly.

"Once you give birth in two months, we'll start teaching our sons what real friendship is all about," Theresa said, and they both laughed.

After Theresa was resting in the baby's room, Anna went to the living room and saw Richard talking with Fred.

It didn't look like a friendly conversation.

She quickly approached them."What are you two doing?" Anna asked.

Fred glared at Richard. "I was just telling him that I'll never forgive him for outsmarting me under the same roof."

Richard chuckled. "And I was reminding him who outsmarted who first. The truth is, one of us gave up, but the other didn't."

Anna grabbed Richard's hand.

"Anna, during our investigations, I realized why you love Richard so much," Fred said.

"Why?" Anna asked.

"He's your friend. That's why he trusted you with me, despite our past. He gives you something money can't buy—wholeness," Fred said indignantly.

Anna, feeling tired, told Richard she wanted to go home and rest.

Meanwhile, Anita was playing outside with Jessica.

As they walked over to join them, Anna smiled and playfully suggested to Anita, "In the future, give Alex a chance."

Anita chuckled shyly. "Thank you for being a good counselor, Mrs. Robert."

"Counselor? Why did you call me that?" Anna asked, surprised.

"Mrs. Anna, I heard the proprietress is looking for a qualified counselor. You should apply," Anita said.

Richard nudged her with a smile. "Go for it if you want to, my love."

As Anna considered the opportunity, she thought about how she could have prevented tragedies like Stephen Robin's actions at Saint High if there had been a counselor.

Inspired by a desire to help students from difficult backgrounds, Anna envisioned becoming the counselor at Saint High.

Her goal was to show these students God's love, instilling in them hope, self-worth, and a sense of freedom from condemnation.
