Hit & Miss

Whilst finally bonding with her young charges Mia is finding it hard to juggle domesticity with her work for Eddie, who refuses to let up on hits. A mysterious man temporarily kidnaps Leoni and, when he returns her, gets set upon by the family. He turns out to be Liam, Wendy's brother who has an interest in looking after the kids. Riley tells Mia she is pregnant and wants an abortion but Mia, feeling maternal instincts, dissuades her and offers to help her raise her baby. John arrives at the farm-house and demand Riley have an abortion. When she refuses he tries to strangle her but she shoots him dead with Mia's gun.

Mia has now established a better relationship with her new family despite Leoni's insistence that she can see her dead mother. She forces John at gunpoint to sell her the farm and he agrees but takes it out on his wife and on Riley, whom he demands has an abortion when she announces her pregnancy. Mia and Ben start dating but she carries out another hit - successfully - though she is hit by a car and taken to hospital, from where she escapes. In her weakened state she is taken home by Ben and decides to tell him her true situation. He is initially repulsed but eventually reconciles with her.

In revenge for his beating John threatens to put the farm-house up for sale, rejecting Mia's offer to buy it. The kids blame her and are still wary of having a transsexual guardian but Levi breaks down and admits to Mia how much he misses his mother and even Riley comes to appreciate that having another female presence in the house lightens her work-load. Eddie, the boss from whom Mia takes the orders for her hits, turns up with another job for her but has his name put on the lease, which ensures that Mia and the kids can stay. They have a party to celebrate but Riley slips out to meet the married John, by whom she is pregnant.
