Isabel not nanny anymore, new

Nice spend time w/family. She talk w/couple other retired ballet dancers, want open own dance studio but dancing for fun & fitness. Meet Connie to talk, she not mad at isabel b w/Alec. She surprised. Isabel say if Alec can’t guarantee everything is perfect, she won’t b hurt or die then it’s not worth it to him. Get call from Seattle ballet company. Alec apologize to Connie for way she found out about him/Isabel

Alec tell her she b sacrificing to b w/him. He know she’s his for now. She don’t want b stepmom at 25, he don’t want everybody talk behind her back think she gold diggers. He think he love w/her but can’t stand see her hurt & age difference will hurt her. She willing take chance of getting hurt but obviously he not, too worry about people’s perception. So he’s ending it now? She spend Thanksgiving w/fam

talk, dad say he screw nanny, she gold digger, Alec is easy target for gold diggers. Fine sleep w/nanny but she not wife material like mom or Victoria was. Isabel can’t listen anymore, don’t want b where she not wanted. Alec tell dad never say any of that to her, she one hardest workers he knows, if he knew her he’d know that. Tell dad he’s not get seat back on board at Contron. Go home, have cake for Alec.

Connie wait for apology for him not going to wedding party, she spends all her time on Contron, dad expects kids do as he says. Nate explain Isabel Connie’s best friend. Dad about to speak but Alec tell him not say word, Alec/Dad can discuss it later. Willa say Isabel is Alec’s girlfriend & really nice. Nate laughs, Alec look at dad & say later. Nate show kids part house while Isabel go bathroom, hear Alec/dad

Isabel say sorry they saw. He feel bad questions overwhelming for her. She upset he didn’t answer if they’re boyfriend/girlfriend, she know they haven’t had talk but still hurt. Day b4 Thanksgiving, Alec’s bday. Go to Alec’s dad’s house, Nate there too. Dinner dad ask why Connie not there, dad not kind talk behind Connie back. Isabel there as “nanny” just help kids if need it. Isabel angry, say maybe

w/knife rob them. Alec terrified, Victoria died suddenly, she alive one minute & gone the next. He won’t b able handle it if loses Isabel too but he can’t let her go. Isabel tell Elena about her/Alec. Elena say he’s a lot older. Go to police station to report robbery. Alec/Isabel kiss & Willa/Sam see, ask if she marry dad, if she gonna b new mommy, if dad still love mom, if they’re boyfriend/girlfriend.

Alec/Victoria met thru friend, dated 3 yrs, she funny, supportive, kept social schedule. He misses her on behalf of kids, they didn’t get time w/her. He miss her too. Isabel became his happiness. Isabel at Elena’s comedy show again. It’s late, she call from passersby phone, she/sister were robbed, took keys, wallets, phones. Alec get Katya watch kids, he go pick them up. They walking to subway when 3 teenagers

Connie talk to Alec, tell him not hurt Isabel, she need job. Connie suggest Isabel for job cuz thought trust Alec. She tell him Victoria would want him move on. Connie freaked out at Isabel/Alec. Isabel downplayed relationship, say wasn’t serious to Connie,couldn’t tell her she in love w/Alec but he don’t feel same. He/Isabel talk, he can’t walk away from her. She want b w/him. He tell her about Victoria.
