The joy of Brooks' arrival certainly doesn't lessen tensions in the Prentiss house. As always, it is the manipulator Vanessa who is the director, who decides to play the card of her company in order to favour the divorce between Lorie and Lance. In fact, Lance has always aspired to be the president of Prentiss Industries and everyone recognizes that he is a great businessman and that he has an exceptional ability in the field. For this reason, everyone knows that it will be Lance the successor to Vanessa, as president of Prentiss Industries; and Lucas knows it too, who accepts this fact as a natural consequence of events, since after all he has been away from his family for years and has not contributed at all to the growth of the company; above all, he has never been interested in working a white-collar job. However, the arrival of a sudden marriage and a baby to take care of, as we know, change the situation; and when Vanessa decides to seize the opportunity to name Lucas as president of Prentiss Industries, he clearly shows his astonishment but does not seem disappointed. This decision leaves Lance shocked and disheartened, he cannot believe that their mother has decided to choose the youngest son who, by the way, has never been involved in the family business. And when Lorie comes out against Vanessa, accusing her trying to make her son suffer only to indirectly hurt her, Vanessa replies that the needs of a child, which they do not have yet, must prevail. Perhaps a legitimate motivation, if it were not Vanessa's: both women, in fact, know that Vanessa's intentions are only to create a gap in the marriage between Lorie and Lance, and to make the man realize that his marriage to the woman could damage him. In any case, very soon Lucas, even though he knows he doesn't deserve the job position, is persuaded by Vanessa and especially by Leslie that the opportunity offered to him doesn't happen every day and that it wouldn't be fair to refuse such an important position; after all, only by providing financial security to Brooks and Leslie he could hope to finally form a real family with them.
