Figuring out what the heck to serve Pepper is like cracking a culinary code. She's got this temper that's hotter than a pot of boiling water. And who knows? She could totally flip out or throw some not-so-sweet insults at my mom's cooking skills. Seriously, she's got the bratty attitude down pat. No way am I risking her unleashing that tornado of rudeness on my mom. I've seen enough drama with her step mom – don't need a repeat performance. My mom's a gem, and I'm not letting Pepper tarnish that sparkle. Recalling the unsettling flashback of Pepper lashing out at her stepmom brings to mind a tense and complicated moment in their relationship.
