After Bode returned to Three Rock Camp, tensions flared between his parents, Sharon and Vince. Despite this, they tried to cope, believing they needed to stand by their son. When Bode tries to reconnect with his daughter, Genevieve, through Cara, she is not sure if he is Genevieve’s real father or not as she has not done any paternity test. Cara revealed that Genevieve had been misled about her parentage, being told that Cara’s parents were her own and that Cara was her sister, not her mother. This truth weighed heavily on Genevieve, who had spent years unaware of her real family situation, and thus, at the age of 12, she is in therapy now. This revelation deeply saddened Bode, leading him to confront Jake about lying to him about him being Genevive’s father. Jake defended his actions, explaining that he did what he thought was necessary to protect Bode during his troubled times in prison. Furthermore, the camp became more strict with Manny’s departure and Eve’s promotion to captain. She insisted on being addressed formally as Captain Edwards, even from Bode, and demanded strict adherence to rules from everyone. Meanwhile, Gabriela struggled with hiding the truth from Diego’s family about her own family issues, particularly her mother leaving her and her father.
