Now 35 and half years later, things have changed in the McMahon family. Linda hid her sadness well, especially on her birthday, seeing that it was her daughter's birthday. Linda has not seen her daughter since giving birth to her. Linda had no clue where her daughter was and how is she doing. Linda doesn't know if her ex-lover ever told their daughter about her like he promised Linda he would. Linda's marriage to Vince has changed over these last 35 and half years. Vince spoils her rotten with lavish gifts, including building her dream home in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Linda watches her three children grow up and wonders about her fourth child growing up and who she looks like. Linda watches Shane marry his high school sweetheart Marissa Mazzola in September of 1996. Four years later, Linda watched her second son Vincent Jr. marry his high school sweetheart Courtney Cassadine on November 4, 2000. One year later, Linda watched her oldest daughter Stephanie follow everyone else by marrying her high school sweetheart Jack Capuano on October 21, 2001. No one knows about the deep dark secret she hid from everyone close to her. Linda knows that secrets are deadly, and they can ruin marriages and relationships sometimes. Linda wonders if her deep dark secret will ruin her family and marriages of 49 years.
Meanwhile, Linda's daughter has grown up into a beautiful, gorgeous woman who is marrying and has four children of her own. She is very successful in the career that she had chosen for herself. However, she has no clue that her mom is not her biological mother, and someone else is her. Unfortunately, Linda's ex-lover, the father, never told her what he had promised 35 and half years ago. He, too, hid the truth from everyone close to him, including lying to his wife by telling her that their daughter was her biological child, but she was not hers. Finally, after being killed in a car accident 21 years ago, he took the secret to his grave.
Will Linda's deep dark secrets threaten her marriage to Vince after hiding it for 35 and half years? What about Shane, Vincent, and Stephanie? How will they react to the news of having a younger sibling? Well, they accept their younger sibling. Then, of course, there is Vince. Will he accept his wife's daughter that she had outside of their marriage, thirty-five and half years ago? How will Linda react knowing that she had kept this secret all these years, especially from her husband, who was known for cheating? Since Linda walked away from him for nine months, he has not cheated on her., he has been faithful to her.
How will the daughter react to the news when she finds out he is true? Time is going to tell for everyone involved. Will Linda and her daughter, who she did not raise, be able to form a mother/daughter relationship after all these years of not being together when they do finally come face to face. Linda has missed out on her daughter's life since birth.
