Joanna Lawrence felt an inexplicable familiarity mixed with discomfort when gazing at Omega Huntley, questioning if they had met before. Reluctantly, she allowed Omega to call her Sister Joanna to avoid fueling rumors that could tarnish Porter Rushbrook's pristine image. Omega beamed with joy, clasped her hand, and gushed over Joanna's acting in 'If You Can’t Love,' but a surge of revulsion made Joanna resist the impulse to pull away.

After listening to the game rules, Porter froze in shock: "Drawing lots? Can't we pick our own teams?"

Porter had secretly agreed with Joanna to pair up together.

On top of that, Joanna was the sole person he wished to team with.

He barely knew the other two actresses—neither Omega nor Mandy.

Pairing up as temporary parents with one of them and caring for the baby made him feel utterly uncomfortable.

Edward shook his head: "The first two episodes allowed free group choices. But this time, rules have shifted—you must draw lots for teams."

Porter: Damn it!

Had he foreseen this setup, he never would have joined the show.

Moments later, the lot-drawing results emerged.

Joanna and Kelvin both pulled lot A, becoming a temporary parent duo.

Mandy teamed up with Sorensen.

Porter ended up paired with Omega.

Discovering his team with Omega nearly drove Porter mad.

He felt a thousand times against grouping with Omega.

He refused to accept these drawing outcomes.

With the live stream ongoing, he couldn't outburst publicly, so he dragged Edward aside, whispering urgently: "Edward, can we redraw the lots?"

"Redo the draw?" Edward looked confused. "What's wrong with this drawing process?"

"The method itself is fine. It's just I refuse to group with Omega," Porter stated bluntly to Edward. "I could pair with Mandy, but not Omega."

The show had over half a month of filming left.

Temporary parent teams meant tons of interactions ahead.

They'd share baby-care duties, after all.

The mere thought of over half a month beside Omega made Porter want to drop out.

His dislike for Omega wasn't solely due to Joanna.

Though Joanna accounted for most of it.

Edward frowned at the request, seeming troubled: "Porter, I get you have beef with Omega, but results are set. Redrawing would look too suspicious."

"That'd be problematic."

"We've never dealt with this before. Why not drop the bias and give it a shot with Omega? She might not be hard to work with. Still, if you insist on redrawing, I'll talk to the crew."

Porter paused briefly, then backed off: "Never mind, let's go with it."

Redrawing would scream favoritism too loudly.

Anyway... only half a month to tough out.

He'd grit his teeth through it.

If Omega proved intolerable, he'd bail early.

Once the parent pairs solidified, another lot draw happened.

Temporary parents pulled lots for their temporary kids.

This episode featured two boys and one girl.

One boy was four, named Lucus; the other five, named Marco.

The girl, Olivia, was the tiniest at three and a half.

All these kids were Blog sensations with millions of fans. Marco even starred as a child actor in multiple TV dramas.
