Storyline
Eight years later, Mike Seaver is married with four children and now a successful executive in advertising. Carol is a successful Wall Street lawyer; Ben works in real estate; and Chrissy is a 17-year-old high school student.
Chrissy works with her mother, a press secretary, but soon Maggie is fired. However, she decides to enter the election campaign herself and run against her old boss. During the campaign, Carol meets the other campaign manager, Scott Coffer, and falls in love with him and his 10-year-old son Jack.
However, Carol realizes dating him could put her mother's campaign in jeopardy so she breaks up with him. Knowing his father had real feelings for Carol, Jack takes matters into his own hands and asks her brother Mike to come up with a scheme to get Carol and his dad back together again. Mike agrees because he witnessed how happy his sister was with Scott.
At the end of the movie, Maggie wins the election, and Carol and Scott get married.
