The Hidden Struggles of Sarah
Sarah, who had kept her struggles with cervical cancer and her IVF plans hidden, can no longer keep her secret. Cain, oblivious to what Sarah had been enduring, is confronted with the truth by Jacob Gallagher, who clumsily blurts out the news.

In a surprising and emotional turn, Jacob steps up and offers to be Sarah’s sperm donor, showing an unwavering commitment to her.
