Ep. 115: Candy Learns Grandfather William Albert Ardley Hid in Plain Sight

115

Candy discovers her benefactor William Albert Ardley concealed his identity since her distress over Annie’s adoption from Pony's Home. Albert, too young to lead the Ardley family after his parents died and aunt Elroy became his guardian, used deception to protect allies. He acted as a hidden father figure, adopting Candy because Alistear, Archibald, and Anthony feared leaving her fate to their great-aunt. Candy’s eyes reminded him of his deceased sister, Anthony’s mother. Albert never intended for Candy to marry Neil. The mystery of the hilltop prince resolves as Albert captivates Pony's Home children with his attire. Candy races Archibald and Annie back to Pony's Home for a banquet. Annie reveals a newspaper showing Terry still acting. Candy remains at Pony's Hill with Archie, Annie, Albert, Miss Pony, Sister Mary, and others.
