Episode Eight: Thankful

It's the morning of Harvestfest and Daisy has picked up an extra shift at work this evening

She quickly whips up some breakfast 

And sits down watching TV while she eats

Before getting changed and heading over to Penny's house for lunch! 

The two sit down to talk - Penny checks in on how Daisy is feeling since the news about her daughter 

And Daisy confides in Penny about her feelings about her mother's decision to host the starlight accolades 

She's upset about it because she always said that her dream would be to cater the Starlight Accolades - something her Mother knows

So, her decision to agree to host it this year simply feels like a veiled message to Daisy that she no longer cares what she wants

Though Penny tries to assure Daisy that it's surely not that and is simply a career move, because Anita never does anything for anyone but herself, but secretly wonders if this may be true 

Trying her best to move on, Daisy lets Penny teach her an old family recipe - vegetable dumplings 

The two cook together and then enjoy the fruits of their labour with their Harvestfest meal 

They also share what they are thankful for, and each are thankful for each other this year  

After eating Daisy has to head to work, having agreed to work in order to get into her boss's good books - she's eying up another promotion before her birthday when she hopes to move over to the catering career full time

Returning home from her shift later that evening, Daisy is tired and aggravated having not heard anything about the promotion from her boss 

But that's soon pushed to the back of her mind as she eats some leftovers that Penny sent her away with and catches channel after channel showing reports of the upcoming Starlight Accolades 

Even the sports channel mentions it! 

Sick of hearing about it, she turns off the TV and heads to bed, another day closer to her dreams one way or another
