this is how I would have finished the story
william returns from the hospital and is insensitive to what happened during his absence and to vicky's investigations; it turns out that daniel's parents were killed by william
cynthia gets angry and throws herself at willin because he deceived her and made her promises; william takes out his gun and shoots and kills cynthia; then he wants to kill daniel.
rhonda gets in the way and is killed.
Daniel confesses that he has long known who his parents' killer was and that he was playing a double game to steal command from william and kill him.
Daniel becomes the head of the family and stays with melinda and ann.
or maybe such a scenario?
Melinda knew that William was involved in the murder of Daniel's father,and so that he would not kill Daniel's mother, she hid her..When Vicki arrives and accuses William and Melinda of murdering Daniel's parents and accuses Melinda of having a vicious relationship with Daniel,William, in a fit of rage, shoots Melinda and kills her..Vicki shoots William and he dies.Then comes Daniel's mother's release,a heartwarming meeting with the children, then Melinda's solemn funeral, and the final scene -Rhonda, Ann stand at the doorstep and watch as Daniel and Cynthia and their mother leave and disappear into the distance!The curtain!)))
