Milton loves his daughter but was an alcoholic when she was growing up. She resents him for this and they haven't spoken in years after he cut her out of his life.

Not knowing how to help his daughter, he cut her out, hoping she would see the truth. But things have gotten worse. Now that he has kidney disease, he needs his daughter's help, but more importantly, he wants to make amends before it's too late.

Character Leslie
Winner: Tara Battani
In the fast-paced world of journalism, Leslie is one of the best, and she's worked hard to become so. She's ambitious, sarcastic, opinionated, and bossy, a take-charge personality who gets things done. She's not unlikeable, if you can get past her witty sarcasm and blunt tone, and not unkind, if you don't take her withering burns personally. But underneath it all, her ambition and drive aren't self-serving; she really does want to make the world a better place.

Character Joel Harvard
Winner: John Brownlie
Joel is the ideas guy and by nature spends a lot of time with his head somewhere near the clouds. Part performer, part awkward puppy, he wants to be good with people, but has a knack for sticking his foot in his mouth. His sister Liz is his best friend, as well as his business partner, and he'd be totally lost without her. He's fun loving, mostly carefree, at least that's what he tells himself, and he'd do anything for almost anyone. Shrewd businessman he is not.
