Serafina stands in front of the white birthday cake that her son made for her and thinks about the future. She has had to make a lot of difficult decisions so far and hopes that they have been the right ones. Her whole tribe joins her for the celebrations, including a very pregnant Dina.
Before blowing out the candles, she makes a wish that the tribe will continue to grow and flourish, and that Ayla will grow to be a strong and successful Creator.
Serafina is excited to be sharing her birthday with another tribe member. Clarissa helps Maria blow out the candles, and everyone cheers as she ages up.
Clarissa is proud of how beautiful her daughter has become, even if she didn’t manage to make it to the Happy Toddler trait.
Ayla is excited to have another child to play with, she has missed Reyna since she left. Being an aspiring Whiz Kid, Maria enjoys playing chess with her new friend.
As Serafina looks around the table, she is glad to have an almost full tribe again, though she still needs a Provider for the future children.
After everyone leaves the table, Ademar and Antonio stay behind. “I don’t know that it is a good idea for you to be sitting in the Creator’s seat.” Antonio expresses his concerns. “It’s fine, slave. My mother will not mind. And with all of the hard work I have been putting in, I’m sure I will be here long after she gets rid of you.” Ademar stands up and walks away, leaving Antonio bewildered. He knows Ademar has hopes of staying in the tribe, but he is concerned that these expectations are going to his head.
