The Sanford Legacy

Felix paints, Isaac tries to impress the pretty girl next to him, hoping to get her attention, while Erica smiles slyly at Elli, well aware that he has come to see her and not to attend a class with his grandmother.

As for Elli, he decided to pluck up his courage and go to Aria's gallery, where he knew Erica would be for her usual class. The two teens didn't spoke since their kiss, and Elli couldn't get the girl out of his head. But his friends' comments made him dwell on the situation over and over again.

Remembering how eager Emma was to leave Strangerville, Isa bursts out laughing sincerely and even suggests going out together to discuss the film and reminisce about old memories.

During the break, Emma finally manages to get a moment with Isa, who seems to have been avoiding everyone lately, especially Emma. Isa makes excuses that sound particularly insincere, but Emma prefers to focus on small talk, amused by the idea of making a film about her hometown.

So while waiting for Isa to feel ready to talk to him, Jasper buries himself in work, occupying his every thought with what would normally be mere details for any other director. The actresses sometimes grow tired of this behaviour, but the atmosphere on set remains friendly and professional.

But as the days of filming go by, Jasp senses that Isa continues to slip away from him. She's physically present, but he feels that her mind elsewhere, focused on something else, barely participating in decisions. He'd like the wall between them to come down but it only seems to be getting higher.

Jasper walks over to her and takes her in his arms as she looks up and smiles at him. Jasper is extremely worried, but Isa is actually very proud of this project, feeling that she is finally paying tribute to Rose and all the stories she has been telling her since she was a child.

Emma seems to have understood and continues to suggest changes to her role, but Jasper is no longer listening to her, his attention focused entirely on his wife, who is absorbed in reading the script just a few steps away from him.

Jasper asks to speak to Emma privately, who suddenly widens her eyes, concerned about her way of acting. But Jasper wants to talk about Isa. Emma is the person who has known her the longest, so he hopes she will understand that he wants to do everything he can to make her happy with this project.

The sequences are shot in rapid succession, with Eris and Emma both proving to be excellent actors. However, Jasper keeps stealing glances at Isa, stressed that he is not living up to her vision or that she will be disappointed with what he has done for her story.

CHAPTER EIGHT : On set Emma is getting ready in the dressing room, but she ends up being late, as her preparations are taking time. Hearing Jasper's footsteps approaching, the make-up artist rolls her eyes, ready to put him in his place. If they let her do her job, maybe she could work faster.

We're finally done for today! Those teens are ruthless but I love them all very much and I think they have all of them every rights to feel what they are feeling right now and say what they said to each others. Anyway! Next time we're taking a break from gen 2 to go back with gen 1... 👀

Gisele, who had hoped that their fling would continue at secondary school, tries to explain herself, but Simon doesn't even look at her and completely rejects her. Gisele blinks, completely stunned and disappointed by the turn of events. Maybe she was wrong about Simon...

All his life, Simon felt that he was compared to Elli, barely a year older than him. He was always calmer, more obedient, more easygoing. With Gisele, things finally seemed different, but he was wrong. Turning his back on her, he shrugs his shoulders, deciding to end things as quickly as they began.

Gisele is also about to leave. When she sees Elli approaching, she can't help but smile and bat her eyelashes, impressed by all the drama that such a shy boy has caused around him. But this doesn't escape Simon, who asks her to talk to him in private.

When he takes her in his arms, Erica already feels much better and breathes a sigh of relief. A situation that seemed insurmountable five minutes ago now seems like a minor problem that will probably be quickly resolved.

Blake also tries to take her mind off things, and when he decides to use their mother's ‘advices’, he sees a wry smile on Erica’s face and knows he has succeeded.

Blake knows there is only one person who could make Erica seem so distraught, and that is Elliot. But seeing how completely lost his sister seems, Blake does his best to advise her on the matter despite his own inexperience. However, he knows his sister and knows how she usually thinks.

After grabbing her things, Erica fled as quickly as possible to return to her grandfather's house. But Blake was waiting for her at the door, looking worried. Being twins, they had always shared a special bond, and today was no exception.

But quickly, far too quickly, Erica pushes him away and jumps to her feet. Elli meets her frightened gaze, wanting to take a step towards her but not wanting to upset her further. So he lets her go, completely overwhelmed by this day that has been far too full of heartbreaks.

Elli is caught off guard, but apologises nonetheless, the idea of hurting her intentionally or unintentionally making him feel almost sick. Seeing how much he cares for her, Erica cannot resist and gently caresses his cheek, blurting out her feelings for him.

But his comment brings back all the animosity Erica feels towards him, and while raising an eyebrow in exasperation, she does not let herself be discouraged, and finally decides to tell him a few home truths and everything she has on her mind.

Elli, meanwhile, went off to be alone to think about the situation, but of course Erica found him, she always does. As she sits down, a comfortable silence settles between them, until she decides to break it. Elli, delighted to see his friend's bubbly personality again, gently teases her.

When Simon realises that she will stick to her original position, he allows himself to become even more aggressive, particularly annoyed by her pretentious attitude. Who does she think she is, when he was trying to be nice for once?
