Meanwhile, her mother Caroline has built up her confidence after a painful divorce, working closely alongside her daughter as the very successful host of Gut It! But when the TV network plan to replace Caroline with Jamie as the show's host, Caroline is left feeling horribly betrayed—and old in the eyes of the world. Then tragedy strikes, leaving Jamie guardian to her orphaned step-brother and fiancée to a man who doesn't want the child.
