Along with her husband, high school principal George and three loving children Drew, Mandy and Willie, she is living in a suburban house in a small and peaceful town.
One day, Linda decides to surprise George at his office to celebrate their 16th anniversary, and finds him kissing one of the teachers, Ann Marie Scott.
Willie, on the other hand, misses his father enormously and starts acting out by constantly wearing a bunny suit.
(Drew accidentally caused a minor car accident with him a short time ago while practising to drive with her.)
Mark becomes close to the family, finding extra information about dyslexia and talking Linda into accompanying him to a chamber of commerce New Years eve event.
Linda's mother Dixie - who came to town to support her daughter - convinces her to start dating him as he's a widower.
Meanwhile, George finds out that his new life with Ann Marie is not as satisfying as he expected, and he meets with Linda to convince her to try and save their marriage.
