In Episode 2 of 'Burden of Truth' Season 3, we saw Joanna Chang's (Kristin Kreuk) childhood friend Kodie Chartrand (Sera-Lys McArthur) meet with some devastating consequences over her custody battle for her two daughters, Madison and True. But despite Joanna's earnest attempts to help Kodie as payback for her favors when they were children, will their friendship be able to survive this loss?

Episode 2 titled 'Wherever You Go' saw Kodie labeled as an unfit parent because of her struggle with substance abuse in the past. Even though she is clean now, her test results came back positive, while True's biological grandmother, Marlene's, came negative. The older woman testified in court against Kodie's capacity as a functional parent and landed full custody of both her children, even with her own past as an alcoholic. Now, the official synopsis for Episode 3 titled 'No Fathers and Sons' states: "After losing at the custody hearing, Joanna is desperate to help Kodie and recklessly launches an emergency challenge to the court-appointed custodian; the case brings Billy face to face with the last person he wanted to see." The fact that Joanna is desperate enough to challenge Marlene shows that Kodie's behavior, following the loss, must not have been quite favorable towards Joanna.

Flashbacks from the past show Kodie and Joanna having the tightest bonds as young adults, with some hint of favors that Kodie did for Joanna, which doesn't allow our protagonist to still remain indebted to her. But Kodie herself doesn't understand the full gravity of Joanna's gratitude. It's understandable why Kodie would refuse to have faith in Joanna's capabilities even though Joanna's faith in Kodie's recovering from her addiction remains staunch. 

We know there are going to be some negative repercussions on the two women's friendship, but how Kodie will react or treat Joanna in the recent future is still a mystery. Whatever it is, Kodie will clearly not be patient and understanding the way Joanna has been towards her even though Billy (Peter Mooney) found drugs at Kodie's home — thus explaining the drug test gone wrong. Here's hoping their friendship is able to survive the custody battle in the long run.

'Burden of Truth' Season 3 airs on Thursdays at 8pm only on The CW.
