Daisy Haites

Daisy spends days closed in her room with Romeo. She knows their relationship is complicated, but keeps telling herself it’s better than loving Christian, who doesn’t love her back. She emerges from her room one day to find Tiller downstairs. He interrogates her about her relationship with Christian before insisting they talk alone. Romeo interjects, insisting that Tiller leave.

Christian drives to Holland Park and confronts Magnolia. He accuses her of using him and insists she has to let him go. He leaves, relieved that he’s finally over her.

Daisy and Romeo are having sex when Jack opens the door, looking for Daisy. He teases Daisy, shocked that she’s with Romeo again. The friends talk alone. Jack suggests that Christian still has feelings for Daisy, but she’s skeptical.

Julian assembles the boys to discuss his conflict with Brown. He insists that they kidnap Brown’s two young children to teach him a lesson. Declan, Kekoa, and TK are initially wary, but give in.

Christian takes a trip to the Netherlands with Jonah, BJ, and Henry. Jonah informs Christian that Daisy and Romeo are back together. Christian panics. Upset just imagining Daisy with Romeo, he decides to take more aggressive action.

Romeo and Julian take Daisy out for dinner. She feels like a child, remembering how she used to see Romeo and imagine their future together. Then, Christian arrives at the restaurant. Daisy searches his face for evidence that he likes her. He asks if they can talk, but Daisy refuses. When Romeo inserts himself, Christian attacks him, and a fight ensues. Julian does nothing. When the fight breaks up, Christian leaves.

Julian comes home to find Daisy baking. She normally loves the kitchen, but this is the first time he’s seen her make something since she’s been with Romeo. She hasn’t been doing laundry either. He voices his concern that she’s losing herself. She brushes him off, insisting she doesn’t want to be herself anymore.

That night, Daisy feels empty and alone being around Romeo. She showers and studies herself in the mirror, realizing she’s still in love with Christian. She urges Romeo to grab dinner alone, and they can have sex when he returns. Romeo gets upset, insisting he loves her and she’s using him. He storms out, slamming the door and smashing things on his way out. Daisy steps on some glass and tries stitching up her foot, but she’s been drinking and can’t get the stitches right.

Daisy goes to Declan for help. While he tends to her foot, Daisy kisses him. Declan gives in, pouring her more wine and initiating sex. Afterwards, Daisy begs Declan not to tell Julian.

Christian and Henry chat about Magnolia. Henry reveals that after his conversation with her, Magnolia left for New York with Tom. Christian is shocked she’d leave London and BJ. The conversation shifts to Daisy. Henry urges Christian to talk to her.

The next morning, Julian discovers that Declan had sex with Daisy when she was drunk. Furious, he attacks him. Declan is so badly injured, he has to go to the hospital. Julian feels bad, but still thinks Declan was in the wrong.

Two days later, Julian starts to feel guilty about what he did to Declan. He visits him at the hospital and admits he “went too far” (419).

Furious, Daisy doesn’t speak to Julian for four days. Romeo hasn’t been speaking to her either, and she misses Christian. One day, she visits Declan at the hospital and they make amends. Daisy runs into Tiller on her way out. He informs her that things have gone terribly wrong, revealing that Julian has been working with Mata Tosell—a renowned trafficker. Daisy is initially skeptical, but finally agrees to listen to Tiller. He drives her home, and they chat. On the way, she wonders if she should sleep with Tiller to distract herself. However, Tiller puts space between them and heads out.

Christian enjoys Christmas with his family. However, he still can’t stop thinking about Daisy. Then they run into each other at church for the holiday service. Their hands brush, sending electricity between them. Outside, Christian insists they have to talk. Daisy gets upset and demands he leave. Christian realizes how much he loves her as he drives away.

Upset about Christian, Daisy drinks alone. She spends the following days avoiding people and stewing over her feelings. Then on New Year’s, she attends Julian’s party. When Christian arrives, a furious Daisy confronts Julian. Julian insists that Daisy talk to Christian. Then, Romeo approaches Daisy. He urges her to own her feelings for Christian and promises to always love her. Finally, Daisy leads Christian to her room. They profess their love for each other, but Daisy is still skeptical of Christian. Worse, she feels guilty for sleeping with Romeo and Declan while they were apart. Finally, she tells Miguel to escort Christian out.

Daisy can’t stop thinking about Christian. She loves him and wishes he’d call, but still doubts his loyalty to her. She spends several days lying in Julian’s bed, watching television and crying.

Julian has the boys kidnap Brown’s children and take them to an empty house in Clayhall. He knows Daisy would be furious, but assures himself she’ll never find out.

Tiller finds and confronts Daisy, revealing that Julian kidnapped Brown’s kids. Daisy insists Julian would never do something like that, but she eventually realizes she’s wrong. She and Tiller drive into town to meet Tiller’s partner and find the children. Daisy’s mind reels throughout. Daisy realizes Julian is changing, and there’s nothing she can do to stop him.

Daisy, Tiller, and Tiller’s partner Dyson deduce where Julian is hiding the children. Daisy still can’t believe her brother would do this. She panics that she’s just as bad as him, then reminds herself she can make things right. In Clayhall, Daisy, Tiller, and Dyson find Romeo and TK with the children. To free them, Daisy shoots herself and tells Tiller and Dyson to run with the children. The boys race to her side, too distracted to stop Tiller and Dyson.

Romeo informs Julian that Daisy is hurt. A panicked Julian helps the boys get Daisy to the hospital. After she emerges from surgery, Christian appears at the hospital. Julian warns him about upsetting her. The men get into an argument. Afterwards, Julian visits Daisy. She confronts him for what he did, insisting she wants nothing to do with him or the business anymore. A devastated Julian leaves.

A week later, Christian is finally able to visit Daisy. They profess their love again, and Daisy finally believes Christian. Then she announces that she’s done with Julian and the business. Christian insists he can’t leave his life of crime, because it’s all he has. Daisy reiterates that they can’t be together unless he leaves. Christian tells Daisy she can leave the life if she wants, and he heads out of the hospital. They don’t talk for the next 10 months.

Three months later, Magnolia Park is settled in New York with Tom England. It was hard to leave everything behind in London, but she’s feeling better now. Then one night, Tom interrogates Magnolia’s feelings for him, convinced she still loves BJ. When Magnolia doesn’t correct him, Tom storms out, insisting their relationship is over. After he leaves, Magnolia has a panic attack. Her friend Lucía finds her and stays by her side. That evening, Lucía takes Magnolia out with their mutual acquaintance Rush Evans. Rush is surprised to hear about Tom and initiates a sexual encounter with Magnolia in the restaurant coatroom. Magnolia doesn’t care about Rush, but tells herself that sex with Rush is better than facing her feelings.
