Bedros

Bedros is the essence of cruelty. He may have saved Toni from a life of poverty but he treats her like dirt. He wants to maintain his extravagant lifestyle but he doesn’t want to work. Every since the loss of his rental property he’s been without a steady income. As a result he forces Toni to get a job. Toni, like Abie, has no marketable skills so she enlists in the military. Bedros sits at home all day and screws around while Toni is hard at work paying the bills. What time they do spend together is fraught with marital strife and physical abuse. Bedros knows what Trident was involved in, and he has the evidence to prove it. He gets in touch with Jeff Pleasant regarding the evidence. Jeff is a lawyer and should be able to help Bedros through the legal process. However Jeff doesn’t work for free and wants something in return. When Bedros inquires as to what, Jeff replies that he must have Bedro’s first-born son. This sounds reasonable to Bedros so he makes the deal in earnest. Though Bedros soon realizes it will be difficult to convince Toni to have a child since he consistently beats and berates her. After much ass-kissing Bedros finally gets his wish in the form of a son.

The Pleasants

Before Jeff Pleasant can assist Bedros with his quest to put Trident behind bars, he must first take care of his own problems. Money is extremely tight in the Pleasant household, and it doesn’t help matters that Diane is a lazy wife. Jeff believes that that vindictive life-sucking bitch is the reason there is so much discord in the home. She’s too lazy to get a job herself, yet she constantly nags Jeff about home and money issues. She’s also an extremely poor mother. Whenever she fixes a meal she does so only for herself and no one else. As a consequence the kids often go hungry. In addition she is a cruel person and is constantly trying to scare and tease the kids. Jeff knows that if he is to make any progress in life he must drop the dead weight of Diane and find a new wife. So after another night of arguing Jeff takes off downtown to get away from it all. There he goes after the first woman he meets, Hypathia Townie. He doesn’t really know what kind of woman she is, but he figures she can’t be any worse than Diane. The last straw that convinces Jeff he’s doing the right thing is Danielle having to go to military school for her poor grades. Lack of food caused her study problems.

Toni

Toni knows she must somehow escape her abusive relationship with Bedros but she is too weak emotionally to take any action. However her new involvement in the military may give her the confidence she needs to finally go out on her own. Toni has forgiven many of Bedros’s transgressions, but getting rid of their child is an action she cannot overlook. In order to get back at Bedros for his thoughtless deed, Toni breaths wind of Bedros’s plot to Trident.

Trident knows he must act fast if he is to stop Bedros from going to the authorities. Trident also knows that Bedros is an avid TV watcher. He takes advantage of this by sabotaging Bedros’s television set. Bedros likes to do everything on his own, a fact which Trident was counting on, so Bedros attempts to fix the TV himself without a repairman. Having no mechanical experience whatsoever, Bedros succeeds only in electrocuting himself. Although Trident feels that he is safe, unbeknownst to him Bedros had already gone to the authorities with his evidence on Trident. Trident will face the next several years behind bars.

Epilogue

The loss of both Bedros and Trident causes Abie and Toni to reconcile their differences and come together as sisters. Toni moves in with Abie and they raise all the kids together. Between the two of them they are confident that they can give their children much better lives than they had for themselves.
