It's an exciting time for the Martescu family.
Sylva's twin Anna is getting married and has invited
her sister across country to New York, to be her maid of honour. But even
before Sylva has left Los Angeles, she realises things are not going to
go smoothly. Persuading Logan Matthews to go as her 'date' is the least
of it, after a confrontation with her cousin Sammi re-ignites their rivalry
once more.
Upon arriving in the city, too, Sylva soon realises that all is not well.
Her twin is reluctant to say exactly what is going on, but after overhearing
a fight between Anna and her fiance John, Sylva starts to wonder if maybe
the happy couple is nothing more than a charade.
Can Anna and John find their happy ever after?
Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Jesta has been doing
some family digging of her own. Determined to find the rich father who abandoned
her and her mother before she was born, she accidentally stumbles across
some information which will change her life - and the life of one of the
Jewel girls - forever. But is blood really thicker than water?
