It is a strange morning in Foxport. The sky is grey with a heavy rainfall. There is hardly ever rain in Foxport...
When Trevor wakes up hearing the rain hit his bedroom window, he is shocked to see his father, Professor John Williams standing out of breath at his bedside. "Dad." Trevor says, weirded out...
"Trevor, I'm so sorry to have woken you like this, but there's something you urgently need to know."
Trevor says, "OK, sure. That is it?". John motions for Trevor to move over, and Trevor slides up to sit resting his back on the headboard. John whispers, "OK, I have got an experiment I'd like your help with.... I have discovered what I think top scientists from all over the world have been working on solving for centuries... Just now, right now, downstairs in the basement!"
Trevor sighs. He is sure his father was making some kind of mistake. "OK. So...." Trevor sighs again, playing along-- thinking it could help him figure out what the real reason his father has come to see him is.
"I'll need to take some DNA samples from you to bring back with me to the lab." As Trevor's jaw drops in shock, his father is quick to respond. John quickly takes a cotton swab stick from his shirt pocket and takes a swipe off Trevor's tongue before he races out of the room. As John is heading down the hallway, he yells back towards the room. "It will take three months to examine the details Trevor, but once we are done, I should have figured out what caused Beethoven's deafness. I'll need you to take a fast detox diet for the next week, starting right now. Sorry, this is really important stuff and it can't be missed out on!"
Trevor bangs his head against the headboard three times and painfully shuts his eyes, but a crack of thunder jolts them back open.

Samantha is visibly distraught and highly emotional. Holding back the tears, Samantha finally says, "I think that... I think that Cameron might be seeing someone else".
Carey turns around and looks at Samantha in disbelief.
"What a minute, you're engaged to someone? Who is it?" Tracy impatiently asks Cameron.
Cameron turns around.
"Who is it?! Tell me!" Tracy says, furiously.
"Samantha."
"What?!" Tracy says in terror.
Coming up Tomorrow:
- A confrontation becomes an ultimatum.
- Trevor finds out the tests his father is running might be dangerous.
