The story you’ve shared is filled with relatable family drama, with Mia finding herself caught between her overbearing stepmother, Trudy, and her more lenient father. It perfectly captures that “wicked stepmother” vibe, but with a modern twist—entitled requests and over-the-top parties that anyone could see happening in real life. The cosmic smackdown Trudy receives when her own actions (dumping oils in the sink) backfire seems like the perfect moment of karmic justice, and Mia’s reaction adds a humorous tone to the narrative.
The father stepping in to ensure Mia gets her prom dress money is a touching moment, balancing out Trudy’s unreasonable expectations. It’s also refreshing to see that Trudy, despite her flaws, tries to patch things up at the end, even if we’re left wondering how long that change of heart will last.
Mia’s inner monologue is super relatable, especially for teens dealing with over-the-top parental expectations and difficult family dynamics. The contrast between her and Trudy’s worlds—the prom vs. the dishwasher—feels like the classic struggle of teenager vs. adult priorities, heightened by Trudy’s self-centeredness.
As for the second story teaser, it looks like Emily’s prom day is headed for more drama, with a scheming stepmother, Carla, trying to ruin her moment. Both stories seem to revolve around stepmoms with boundary issues, but the empowerment that comes from overcoming these challenges gives them a satisfying and almost cathartic feel.

They were instructed to keep away from singing about Jesus. The way they respond will take you by surprise…
It’s true that Little Big Town had one of the most incredible nights of their lives on the evening they were admitted into the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. The first show of the series featured a lovely rendition of “Why Me Lord,” the result of a collaboration between country singer Vince Gill and Little Big Town. Many individuals, including the author, had goosebumps as a result of the performance, which left a lasting impression.
With Vince Gill, the foursome—Kenna Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet—worked together to produce a masterpiece. “Why Me Lord,” which was written and recorded by country music icon Kris Kristofferson in 1972, has been performed by a wide range of performers throughout the years. However, the performance featured in the video is regarded as one of the best of all time.
It seems that Vince Gill was informed about Opry policies prohibiting musicians from playing Jesus-related songs. As the story behind the film suggests, this was apparently done to avoid potentially upsetting non-Christian audience members. Vince decided to carry on with the performance despite this, and it appeared that the audience welcomed it with enthusiasm.
