Mia was the mother of Michael Mancini and Jennifer Mancini, who arrived from New Jersey to visit her children. She was an avid fan of Dean Martin and spoke fluent Italian. Mia arrived and her first order of business was to go with Jennifer to jail and bail Michael out after he assaulted Amber's boss. Mia slapped Michael for getting arrested. Later, she mistook Billy Campbell for Craig Field, who had just supposedly fled town after stealing Jennifer's car. Jennifer begged Billy to pose as Craig while Mia was in town.
