Beware of the Baby Prophet

About this drama

Three thousand characters, the second-longest source in this batch, ending mid-sentence. A note on the source: the copy is a machine-style summary with naming and spelling slips, Asher appears once as Ashel, Russian roulette as rolette, and hired muscle as thustles, so this summary reads through the slips and reports the stated beats. The stated chain: seven years ago the James couple, heirs of the Whitmore family, died in a planned car accident, and their newborn daughter Angelica was sent overnight to foster care in Kansas. Seven years later the child, labeled a cursed girl, returns with three stated abilities, seeing the black corruption eroding human bodies, predicting the future through dreams, and communicating with objects. Her first day itemizes the skill set, deflating the butler Doris's obstruction, seeing through third brother Asher's prank, and diagnosing eldest brother Alexander's paralysis as long-term poisoning rather than accident. At her grandfather's eightieth birthday dinner she publicly exposes uncle Victor, the poisoning's architect, then wins the family three hundred million dollars by finding a genuine Van Gogh hidden in a fake during an art appraisal bet. Victor escalates, plotting an accident at Lincoln Center to kill Grammy-winning brother Adrian, and Angelica, whose warnings are rejected, pushes him clear at the last moment and takes the falling spotlight's damage herself. When Victor launches his daughter Victoria to contest the family's lucky-star title, the three-round contest goes to Angelica, imperial green jade worth billions read from raw stone, a junk stock chosen by intuition just before acquisition, and a roulette game where she sees through Victor's six real bullets while the evidence is recorded and the arrest lands. Victor's fall surfaces the rest, the couple's crash, grandpa Augustus's chronic poisoning, and then Angelica's dream reveals her parents alive, held five years in a remote brick factory, and the brothers storm it, fight Victor's hired men on the Hudson River Bridge, and bring the parents home. Seventy episodes, complete, 2,505 views.
