Also involved is Guy's girlfriend Faye, who is actually a [[GoodStepmother very nice woman]] who wants the best for Zoey [[spoiler:and, with enough Relationship points, will take Tara's side at the hearing, realizing Guy doesn't even really know his daughter]]. [[spoiler:In the end, Guy gets weekends and visitations and tries to be a better parent and person for Zoey's sake]].
