greetings and salutations everyone (Char). this is what happened to Julia

so, we all know that Julia and Clint were having an affair. from this affair came Maria. however, when Julia found out she was pregnant, she didn't want the baby to grow up around her husband. so, she left and got an apartment in Chicago under a false name

when Maria was a few months old, Julia went to Clint and Laura's wedding and dropped the child with them because she cannot raise a kid. she had wanted to raise Maria with Clit but for obvious reasons, she couldn't. she was also facing ✨alcoholism✨ 

so, she got ready to head back to Chicago, and who did she find in her car?

Fred, of course

Fred held her at gunpoint and told her to drive. he made her go to the woods. he then walked with her to the middle of the woods and shot her in the head

a few hours later, a random hiker found her, half dead. she had total amnesia, but was alive. so, she was taken to a hospital and stayed there until she recovered. she had no identification and wasn't reported missing, and no one actually came to identify her

so, Julia was asked if she remembered her name. she remembered a name, a name she thought might've been hers

Maria Claire Gallow

so, that's who she became

time passed, then in late 2025, Maria bumped into a woman she'd only seen in photographs. her mother. Maria followed her and tried to figure out what the fuck was going on, but alas, Julia was just as confused as Maria. eventually, Maria showed her a picture of Julia in the hospital when Maria was born, and Julia remembered everything

so, mother-daughter moments, Maria told Julia about her life, cute stuff. then, Maria told her about Fred

Fred forged documents saying that Julia, in the event of her death, wanted Maria to live with him. this was obviously not true. Julia was pissed and went to confront her ex

one thing led to another and Julia shot Fred in the head (that rhymes). she and Maria hid the body and Julia took his house. including the pool
