Cinderella and Prince Charming are getting a divorce. Concerned about her twin's emotional state, Cinderella starts toseekassistance from a counselor/family therapist.. They tell the counselor/therapist that they prefer living with their father because their mother is always late picking them up from school, does not pay attention to them, and spends money on clothes and shoes instead of groceries and clothing for the twins. The counselor/therapist carefully remains impartial and listens to their concerns but does not take notes. Cinderella finds out that the girls have been telling her secrets about their mother's shopping habits and neglect. She then hires an attorney, The Big Bad Wolf who threatens the counselor/therapist to hand over her records or she is going to jail.
