Meanwhile, Jann (Jann Arden) and ex-girlfriend Cynthia (Sharon Taylor, BAD BLOOD) are back together and in couple’s counselling. Their therapist has them promise to “be there” for each other at some point during the week. When Jann is asked to be a celebrity guest judge at her sister Max and Dave’s children’s talent show, Jann asks Cynthia to join her at the event. But when Cynthia bails, Jann becomes upset and distracted – threatening to ruin the talent night, and quite possibly her relationship with her sister.
