Milkshakes and shakedowns. (3 of 5)

Once he is able to leave the house, Michelle takes Charles Junior to meet his Aunt Mia.  Though Mia has always been aware of Chuck's relationship to Reggie's Ring, she has never thought it her place to tell her sister.

The twins meet at Just Desserts, the local cupcakery.  While Michelle chats and eats her Chocolate Tort cupcake, Mia notices that Chuck's parole officer happens to be downing a Pep O Mint Paddy Wagon milkshake at Just Desserts.

Chuck's PO suspects that Chuck has never told his lovely Michelle that he is a former con, so he decides to see if he can make a quick buck.  He attempts to shake down Mia: If she pays him off, he'll keep his mouth shut about Chuck and Michelle will be none the wiser.

Mia's well off and even though she participates in criminal mischief on a daily basis, she has her principles!  Rather than pay off Chuck's PO, Mia tells her twin of Chuck's wretched ways.  Michelle is devastated--not by love, this time, but by truth.
