But nobody saw coming what a train wreck the Harvey family would be-selling a big sub story about finding their long-lost daughter, only to give her the cold shoulder. If Selina hadn't kept it under wraps, Lydia would've been in the dark, believing all was well. Selina isn't just some stray the Harvey family picked ups she's family, flesh and blood.
