Thank you for calling

the Mutual Bank of Lincolnville.

This is Donna speaking. How may I assist you this evening?

Hi Donna. This is Kara Evans.

I am the controller for the Dunton Foundation.

I need to change the account

a transfer is going to,

I accidentally put in the wrong number.

Certainly, Ms. Evans, I'll just need

to verify some information.

Can you please provide the last four digits

of the account number and your authorization code?

Sure the last four digits are 7291,

and the authorization code is 285690.

I'm sorry, Ms. Evans,

but I'm unable to process this transfer.

It appears that a fraud alert has been triggered

on the account, and a hold has been placed.

A fraud alert. How is that possible?

It looks like multiple accounts

were changed recently

and our system flagged as possible phishing?

No, this transfer is legitimate.

It was approved, and it has to go through tonight.

I apologize,

but for security reasons only the executive director

of the foundation can authorize lifting this hold.

Okay, uh, well, she's actually

in the office as we speak.

Give me one moment and I will transfer you over.

This is Claire Tiller, Executive Director

of the Dunton Foundation.

Good evening, Ms. Tiller. For quality assurance

and security purposes,

this call is being recorded.

I'll need to verify your identity before proceeding.

I just sent a secure access code

to your registered mobile device.

Can you please read that code to me?

Um. Sure. Give me just one moment.

Uh... Um... My, my mobile device,

I'm having some technical difficulties.

I actually, I don't have it with me right now.

I'm sorry, but without that code,

I can't verify your identity

or authorize any changes to the account.

Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

No, that's everything. Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you for c--

Please. Okay. I can get Claire's credentials.

I just need a little bit more time. All right?

No, no! Stop!

Sorry, honey. Do you want blueberries

or strawberries on your french toast?

Come on, mom.

You know I think blueberries are gross.

I don't know why you don't like blueberries.

They're delicious and full of antioxidants.

Well, actually, I read in school the other day

that taste is genetic.

I bet my birth parents don't like them either.

I'm sorry.

I don't know why I said that.

Honey, it's normal to be curious.

I know you've been talking to Marcus about these things.

It's just, well, Marcus was saying

how meeting his birth parents helped him better

understand who he is.

And I wanna understand myself better too.

Jenna, you know, you can talk to me about this stuff too.

I mean, I know I'm not adopted, but I'm here for you.

I know, mom. It's just, I don't know.

Sometimes it feels weird talking to you about it.

Like I might hurt your feelings or something.

Honey, you could never hurt my feelings by being honest.

I love all parts of you,

even the parts from your birth parents.

Really? You're not jealous or anything?

Jealous?

I'm the one who gets to be your mom every day.

It's the greatest gift I could ever ask for.

Cringe.

It's nice to talk to Marcus about these things, isn't it?

I'm really happy you two are together.

When are you getting married already?

Eat your breakfast.

- Morning, ladies. - Good morning.

Hi, Claire Bear.

Look what finally came in the mail.

Oh my God.

- Who's it from, honey? - Oh,

um, it's from this website

called findmyparents.com.

findmyparents.com.

It's really cool.

It's a website that takes your DNA

and tests it against every database

and looks for genetic matches.

Well, I knew you two

were talking about Jenna's birth parents,

but I didn't realize you had taken

this next step without me.

Can I open it? - Hey, why don't you wait, kiddo?

Let your mom and I clean up first.

All right?

Claire Bear, I'm so sorry.

Did I overstep?

Marcus, there is something dark

about Jenna's birth mother.

Okay? Just... something I've never told anyone before.

The adoption agency said that

there were rumors of violence...

...drugs.

There is a reason why I did not want Jenna

to look into this.

Jeez, I'm so sorry. Claire Bear.

I had no idea.

But what should we do?

I... I could...

I could always make something up.

Just... we could just say the letter's wrong.

Jenna. What's wrong?

- It's a match. - It's a match?

- It's a match. - That's great.

Jenna, what exactly does it say?

It's my birth mother.

Her name is Sarah Hayes,

and she says it's okay to contact her.

This is amazing.

Wow. Anything about your dad?

No, just Sarah. But maybe she can tell me more about him.

Mom, can we contact her? There's a phone number right here.

Can I see the letter?

Marcus, thank you so, so much for your help with this.

After Mom said the agency lost my records,

I thought I'd never know where I came from.

Totally, kiddo. But hey, this is a huge step.

When I met my birth parents, I didn't rush into it.

My adoptive parents were there every step of the way.

Claire Bear, what do you think?

Mom?

Well, I'm happy that there's a match,

but we are gonna need to research Sarah

before we contact her.

What? Mom, I'm sure everything's fine.

I want to meet her.

And you will, but we just wanna make sure everything

is safe first.

Safe from what? She's my mother.

No, I meant my birth mother.

Mom, look, I'm sorry we didn't tell you, but,

but please don't punish me for this.

Jenna, I just need more time for this.

- Just stop - Okay?

Mom.

She didn't eat her breakfast.

She didn't want the blueberries?

- Melissa. - Claire.

I can't tell you how much I look forward

to our quarterly meetings

and funding organizations like yours is my favorite

part of this job.

And the impact you're making on young womens' lives

through STEM mentorship.

It's truly inspiring.

Thank you, Claire.

We're grateful for the foundation's support.

So last time we were together,

you were telling me about robots.

What other exciting projects do you

have the kids working on?

Well, Claire, that's actually why I'm here.

I'm a bit confused.

When we met last quarter,

you were enthusiastic just like you are now.

And I was wanting to talk to you face-to-face

because I was wondering if something's changed.

Something's changed?

It's just that we've encountered

a bit of a financial discrepancy. For the past six months

we haven't received the pledged funds from the foundation.

And I wanted to know if you've changed your mind.

That can't be right.

I personally approve all the outgoing payments.

Yours is on the top of the list.

Our commitment to your program hasn't changed one bit.

I'm relieved to hear that, Claire.

I didn't wanna assume and I wanted to come directly to you

because if we don't receive the funds,

we're gonna have to shut down the program this month.

No, no, no, no. Nothing is getting shut down.

And I assure you that I'm gonna get to the bottom

of this immediately.

I'll call our controller right now.

You've reached Kara Evans

controller at the Dunton Foundation.

I'm not available right now, so please leave a message

and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

- Hi, Claire. - Elana.

I can't get a hold of Kara, is she in?

No, she didn't come in today.

And she's actually not answering her cell phone either.

Okay, well then I need you

to look into something urgently.

The STEM Women's Mentorship Program hasn't received payments

for six months.

Can you look into this and figure out what's going on?

Oh, right away!

We're gonna make this right, Melissa.

I am so, so sorry.

Alright, Elana, walk me through what you found.

Okay, I looked at the bank statements.

I'm not a financial expert, but something seems off.

Go on.

So this is the wire information that Melissa sent us.

This is the actual wire that went out.

So if you look, you see these are actually different names.

STEM WMP LLC. STEM WMP ORG.

This is happening with at least 12 different organizations.

- 12? - 12 that I found.

So I don't even know how many of these are going

to dummy accounts, but- - Okay.

This is really bad.

Have you gotten a hold of Kara?

No. She's not answering her cell.

You've done excellent work here, Elana. Thank you.

And Elana, I need your absolute discretion on this.

Not a word to anyone. Okay? Understand?

Of course.

Thank you.

Claire, I trust your judgment.

What do you think about this? Huh?

Is it too navy?

Navy on navy?

Think the pattern's good though.

How's Jenna doing?

I don't know. She's been in her room since dinner.

I think she's still upset with me about her birth mother.

Well, give her some time.

It's a lot for her to process too, Claire.

Claire? Honey.

Honey, you need to take a break.

There's nothing you could do about

what's going on at work right now.

No, I'm doing something else now.

Oh, I like that.

That's good. That's good.

I am looking into Jenna's birth mother.

Oh, jeez. Claire, please, come on.

Let's go to bed.

I can't find anything about a Sarah Hayes.

I mean, there has to be something.

I don't even remember her name being Sarah.

I could have sworn it was Brittany.

- Brittany. - Yeah.

Well, we don't know anything for certain.

Maybe we should take a step back.

Yeah, that's the problem. We don't know anything.

I mean, this woman could be dangerous.

She had Jenna taken away from her.

Claire, that was 16 years ago. People can change.

Or they just get better at hiding of who they really are.

I know you're scared. Think about Jenna.

She's curious about her roots.

You shut this down before giving Sarah a chance

it could do more harm than meeting her ever could.

I know. I just, I can't bear the thought

of Jenna getting hurt.

Then we proceed carefully. We can meet in a public place.

We'll watch. We listen.

And if anything seems off, we'll be there to protect Jenna.

Okay? I just need a few more days to dig.

All right, honey. Few more days.

Cookies? Did I forget a birthday or something?

Not this time. I thought we could use a little

sweetness to start the day.

I wanna clear the air after last night.

Start fresh.

Okay. Well, don't mind if I do.

Love you, Claire Bear.

Haha. Ooh, hot!

Oh, hey there, kiddo.

- Morning, Marcus. - Hey, cookie alert.

Okay.

- Good morning, mom. - Good morning, honey.

So, have you thought about it?

Can I contact my birth mom today?

Jenna? I don't think we're quite ready for that yet.

What? Why not?

You said you'd think about it. - And I have,

but I just think we need a little bit more time

to process things.

You know, this is a big step

and we need to be careful. - Careful of what?

You don't even know her.

That's why we need to be cautious.

Mom, I understand you're worried,

but don't you think you're being a little paranoid?

It's not that simple, Jenna.

Then explain it to me,

because right now it feels like you're just making excuses.

I'm not making excuses.

There's some things that you don't understand.

What things?

Is there something you're not telling me?

Do you know something about her?

No. Nothing specific.

We just need to be careful

before taking the next step.

You're never gonna let me meet her, are you?

That's not true. I just need-

More time.

Got it.

I have to go. I'm late for school.

But wait, wait, Jenna, look, I made cookies.

Your favorite. - I'm not eating cookies at 7:30 in the morning.

Jenna.

I am just trying to do what's best for you.

What's best for me, or what's best for you?

Because right now it feels like you're just scared

of losing me to my real mom.

No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, mom.

I didn't mean it like that.

It's okay, Jenna. It's okay.

You go to school and we will talk about this later.

I love you. - I love you too, mom.

Bad situation you have on your hands here.

Last thing you need is for rumors to get out.

I'll handle this with absolute discretion.

So what do you got for me, Lenny?

It's not good, Claire.

I've poured over these financial records

with a fine tooth comb.

Over the last five months,

a million dollars has been siphoned

from the foundation's accounts.

A million dollars.

Okay, this is catastrophic.

This could destroy the foundation.

There's more. All the account changes, fund transfers.

They were made using Kara's login credentials.

She did it so consistently over the past five months,

the bank finally flagged it

as fraud. Stopped her from doing it again.

That's why you got that text message a couple nights ago.

No, this can't be happening. No.

Kara and I have worked together for years.

She's like family.

I understand your faith in people, Claire.

Believe me, I do.

But in my line of work,

you see good people make bad decisions all the time.

Who knows what Kara was really into.

And now she's vanished without a trace?

- So what do we do now? - I don't feel the need

to involve law enforcement just yet,

but we do need to tighten security protocols immediately.

The accounts have already been frozen.

New controls are being put in place as we speak,

but we need to limit access

to the people we know we can trust,

which at the moment is just you

and myself until this is all resolved.

Okay? Whatever you think is best.

I've got my best people on this, Claire,

I'm gonna find Kara and get to the bottom of this

unless you need anything else.

Actually there...

No, I shouldn't... I shouldn't bring this up.

You have your hands full with what's going on here.

I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Lay it on me.

It's about Jenna. You know she's adopted.

Marcus had her run a DNA test, and...

There's a match.

You want me to run a background check on the birth parents?

Just the birth mother. I can't find anything on her.

And I need to know that it's safe for Jenna to meet her.

Easy breeze. I'll look into it.

- Am I being paranoid? - Come on, Claire.

It's nothing paranoid about

wanting to protect your daughter.

This website, did it give you a address,

any way to contact you?

No. It's just what's on this letter.

It's one-sided.

We have to be the ones to reach out first.

Good. Good. Last thing you need is an unknown someone

popping up on your doorstep.

I'll get right on this.

Get back to you with a full report.

Can I help you?

Hi. I'm here to see Jenna.

Is Jenna here?

No, she's at school. Who are you?

I am Sarah. Her mother.

Excuse me?

Her biological mother.

I'm Sarah Hayes.

You're her biological mother.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

How did you get our address?

Jenna gave it to me.

You've been in contact with my daughter?

I'm sorry. I thought you knew.

She told me you knew.

- Of course she did. - She said to come by.

I don't believe this. Sarah.

This isn't a really good time right now.

I wasn't expecting you,

and I just...

I don't know a lot about you.

I just... I am gonna need a little more time

to do some research before we take this next step.

I completely understand. What do you need to know?

I'm an open book.

Can I show you something?

This is my five year sobriety chip.

I can't change my past,

but I swear to you, I would never do anything to hurt Jenna.

I'm clean now. I have been for years.

It hasn't been easy.

But this, this chip proves that I've changed

most of all to myself.

All I want is to be a small part of her life,

if you'll allow it.

Well, I really appreciate you sharing this with me,

but I am gonna need some more time.

Mom?

You're here?

Hey Claire. What's going on?

Are we hosting a dinner party or something?

- Guess who showed up? - Who?

Who's in there with Jenna?

- Sarah. - As in the Sarah?

I thought you wanted to wait.

Jenna took matters into her own hands.

She contacted her behind my back.

Claire, I know you're upset.

Upset? I'm terrified.

How could she do this?

This obviously meant a lot to Jenna,

Claire, let's try and understand this.

She went behind my back, Marcus,

I've got Lenny looking into her.

Lenny? The high end security consultant?

Really? With everything that's going on,

you're gonna have a foundation resource

work on a personal matter off the books?

Lenny and I go way back. He's more than a consultant.

We put new controls in place. Everything is frozen.

The only people who have access

to the foundation's accounts are me and him.

Probably not the case.

Maybe Lenny's stealing the money.

I'm just saying he's a hell of a smart guy.

He wouldn't!

Just keep an eye out. That's all I'm saying.

Did Sarah just go upstairs?

Jenna?

Hey. Where's Sarah? - She's in the bathroom.

Mom. Isn't this so exciting?

Jenna, we have to talk about you contacting Sarah

without my permission.

What? I didn't contact her.

Honey, going behind my back is one thing, but lying...

I'm not lying, mom. I really didn't contact her.

Honey, I know you're excited about this,

but going forward, you have to listen to me.

Okay.

Sarah.

What are you doing in here?

Sorry, I got distracted.

I was just looking at pictures of Jenna.

It's okay. Dinner's ready.

That's a really beautiful necklace.

Thank you.

Claire, the chicken is absolutely incredible.

Yeah, mom, it was amazing.

It is the best meal I've had in a long time.

Well, I have to be honest,

I just reheated a precooked chicken from Benjamin's.

Well, did a good job plating it.

Presentation's half the battle. Am I right?

So how did, how did you two meet?

You seem so perfect together.

Not again, with the meet cute story.

Well, it's quite the story.

Okay, well, it was about half a year ago

at a little coffee shop downtown.

It was the... - The Bean Counter.

The Bean Counter, that's right.

I walk in late for a meeting, totally frazzled as usual.

I get my coffee.

I'm on my way out the door, and somehow bing bang boom

the coffee just goes flying in the air

and lands, of course,

on the most beautiful woman in the whole cafe.

Spills all over her, ruins her laptop, her clothes,

and half the coffee shop's inventory in under a minute.

The poor barista didn't know whether to help us

or call the police.

You guys should have been banned for life.

Well, pretty sure they wanted to.

But lucky for me,

Claire Bear took pity on me

and allowed me to buy her a cup of coffee, you know?

Yeah. One that stayed in the cup this time.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

That's so adorable.

So I guess that story explains the huge age gap

between you two.

I wouldn't say it's that big.

Oh, really? He looks like he's my age.

But I guess age is just a number right?

How about some wine?

I think this calls for a celebration, Sarah?

- Would you like a splash? - Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Actually, you know what? I would love a glass actually.

Wait, I thought that you were a-

I'm just kidding.

I'm five years sober. You know what they say?

You're not really sober until you can make a joke

about it, Claire Bear.

All right, well, we'll nix the wine.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't change anything on my account.

In all seriousness, a part of recovery is learning to be

around others who drink

or else I would never leave the house.

Was it hard getting sober?

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

But I found a good support system.

That's crucial in life.

Having people who care about you,

just like you have your mom and Marcus.

You're very lucky.

- How're you holding up? - I don't know.

Something about this feels off.

I mean, I don't even think they look alike.

Claire, what are you saying?

I mean, what if she's not who she says she is?

What if she's somehow connected to this whole thing

that's going on with Kara?

Claire, this isn't some mystery novel.

I'm serious. Marcus.

Don't you think it's a little strange

that she just showed up out of nowhere?

Well, life works in mysterious ways.

Remember how we met?

Whoa. Total disaster.

Now look at us.

Oh, that's different. There's Jenna to think of.

And Jenna seems thrilled.

Isn't that what matters most?

No. What matters most is Jenna's safety and wellbeing.

Can I... can I share something with you?

When I was meeting my birth parents, I was terrified,

not just for myself, but for my adoptive parents as well.

I mean, I was afraid that they'd feel replaced

or I'd hurt them somehow.

So how did you handle it?

Well, I talked to them. I told them how I really felt.

And you know what?

They said they were scared too.

- Really? - Really.

But they also said that their love

for me was stronger than that fear.

And that no matter what happened with my birth parents,

I'd always be their son.

Look, I love you. I love Jenna.

And the last thing I want to see is either

of you get hurt from this, but your concerns are valid.

And I want you to know that I'm taking them

completely seriously.

So tell me, what can I do to help?

I just wanna protect her.

I know, but part of protecting her is letting her grow.

Explore who she is. That's your daughter out there.

You did that.

You raised her to be open-hearted

and curious about her roots.

And I know you're strong enough to do that, Claire,

because I've seen that strength in you every day

since I've gotten to know you.

How do you always know the perfect things to say?

It's a gift.

And it helps that I

have experience with this whole adoption thing.

You know, it really seems like Sarah turned her life around.

If I wasn't adopted from that group home,

who knows where I'd be?

- Thank goodness for that. - Mm.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking maybe I should go join them

and I'll try to get to know Sarah a little better.

And then when I hear back from Lenny,

I'll try to let it go.

That's my Claire Bear.

Do you want me to come with you?

No, I think this is something that I need to do on my own.

I wanted to ask you, so I love music

and I was just curious if you're like obsessed.

- Yeah. - With music too.

I mean, I don't play or anything.

And I definitely don't sing. - You don't play?

- No. Do you? - Me neither.

Okay.

But I don't know.

My favorite band is called Sunset Rodeo.

Have you heard of them?

- No way. - Yeah.

Me too.

I might even be able to get us tickets.

I still have some of my connections.

No way.

Um, yes!

What are you ladies talking about?

Sunset Rodeo.

What's a Sunset Rodeo.

Mom. Seriously?

I played their music for months now.

Oh, right! That country band!

Whoa. They're a bit more than just country actually.

Have you seen them live? - Yeah. Yeah, A few times.

I even followed them around the country for a bit

before they were really big.

OMG. That is so cool.

Mom, isn't that so cool? - It is!

You know, I used to be quite the concertgoer

back in my day...

Wait, my dad isn't one of the guys in the band.

- Oh. - Is he?

Oh gosh. No, no.

I didn't go on the road until after you were born.

Right.

So who is my dad?

His name was Harvey.

We loved each other a lot,

but we just weren't good for each other.

Can I meet him?

I'm sorry, Jenna. He passed away a few years ago.

Oh.

I'm so sorry, honey.

I know this is so hard to hear.

Where is he buried?

Back in our hometown.

Maybe... Maybe we could visit someday?

Yeah, I think he'd like that.

So, where is home Sarah?

Originally? Just some small podunk town called Redfield,

but I've been back here for a bit.

Oh. How long have you been back for?

- Like, six months. - Oh, six months.

Yeah. Yeah.

But I think my days on the road are behind me.

What's your house like? Is it nice?

Oh, well, actually I'm kind of

in between places right now.

I'm staying at

this sort of group home type of place.

So you don't... you don't have your own place?

Well, I've just been working odd jobs since I got clean

and you know, my record.

So I just haven't been able to save up

for my own apartment yet.

Oh my God. You should stay here.

Oh. Oh.

I couldn't impose like that. - You're not imposing.

We have a guest bedroom. You should be with family,

right, Mom?

Would you like to stay here tonight, Sarah?

If you're sure it's okay.

Sure. It's no problem.

Yay!

Well, why don't you show me the house.

I wanna see your room. - Come on.

Oh, you came prepared to stay.

Yeah, I don't leave anything at the group home.

Things have a way of disappearing.

Well, please make yourself at home.

Thank you for this.

I know my being here is unexpected.

It means more than you know.

Well, Jenna wants to know you.

And her happiness is my priority.

I meant what I said.

I would... I would never do anything to hurt Jenna.

You can trust me.

Well, I'll let you get settled.

There are extra towels in the linen closet by the bathroom

if you need any.

Excuse me. I need to take this.

Lenny. What's up? - We got a problem.

You alone? - Yes. Go ahead.

The bank just called.

Someone tried hacking into the accounts again.

They posed as you, tried

to change the two-factor authentication.

Nearly got access to everything.

My God. Was it Kara again?

I can't confirm that just yet,

but it does fit the pattern.

Good news is the security measures

we put in place caught it.

Well, that's something.

All the foundation's accounts are completely frozen

until we sort this out.

No transfers, no payments of any kind.

We're also monitoring your personal accounts. Claire,

is there anyone new in your life recently?

Someone who might be fishing for information?

Well, actually Sarah's here.

- Sarah? - Jenna's birth mother.

She showed up today.

Jenna contacted her without telling me.

She's staying with us. - In your house?

Claire, I am not a believer in coincidences,

but this is one hell of a coincidence.

We have a security breach

and this woman just suddenly appears?

Are you sure she's even who she's claiming to be?

No. I... I didn't even think of that.

I just let her into our home.

She's with Jenna now. - Don't panic.

Don't even act like anything is wrong.

I already expedited the background check.

In the meantime, I need you to try to keep your routine

as normal as possible.

But you watch her, Claire.

If anything feels off and I mean anything.

You call me anytime day and night.

I'll be by there first thing in the morning.

I wanna speak to this Sarah person myself.

Lenny, if she's not really who she says she is...

We'll get to the bottom of this. I can promise you that.

Okay. Thank you.

Marcus. Marcus, wake up.

What? What?

- It's Sarah. - Oh?

- She's outside. - What?

Okay? - Someone's here.

She's getting into a strange car.

She's leaving.

Where could she possibly be going at this hour?

I don't know, Claire.

Maybe she's a night owl. Going to the gym or something.

It could be anything.

We can ask in the morning. Come to bed.

Come on.

I am gonna go check on Jenna.

All right.

What are you working on, honey?

Um, math homework.

I didn't have time yesterday.

You didn't do your homework?

No. It was a big day.

I didn't have a chance, but I'm doing it now.

It's almost done.

I know you're excited about Sarah being here,

but your schoolwork cannot suffer.

It won't, mom.

Actually about Sarah.

Mom. Mom, please, okay?

You looked into her already. What more do you want?

It's not that.

I think Sarah might have felt a little overwhelmed

and she decided to maybe-

Morning, guys.

So there's this new bakery in town I wanted

to check out called Rudy's.

And they're supposed to have incredible cookies.

Okay?

Oh my goodness. These look amazing.

You are not having cookies at 7:30 in the morning.

Fine.

So how'd you sleep last night?

Oh, like a baby.

It is a wonder what a room with some peace and quiet can do.

Sarah, do you wanna hit the mall after school today?

Actually, I was hoping

that Claire might let you skip school

so we could spend the day together.

Absolutely not. Come on.

What are you thinking?

You gotta go to school.

Mom, please.

No, I'm not entertaining the idea of you cutting classes.

Midterms are coming up.

Sarah will be here after school, right, Sarah?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Whenever you wanna do.

- Speaking of which... - I know. I know.

See you after school? - Yeah. Yeah.

Bye honey. Have a good day.

I can't let her skip school.

Yeah, yeah, of course. I... it was my mistake.

I can see that Jenna's a good kid.

I just thought she deserved a little break.

A break from what?

Well, I meant, I just... I just wanted us

to have some carefree fun together.

Yesterday was intense.

Well, she's in competitive honors classes

and college applications will be here before you know it,

she needs to stay focused.

College. Yeah, right.

Did you go to college, Sarah?

No. No.

I didn't have the opportunity. College is expensive.

I'm sure you've been saving up

for her college fund for years.

I have. Education is important.

Must be nice to have that kind of security.

You know, you don't... you don't have to baby her.

She's a teenager. She's allowed to have a little fun.

I've been figuring out what's best for Jenna

for the last 16 years.

Your crash course in parenting doesn't trump that.

So where'd you go last night?

What?

I saw you get in a car and drive off.

Are you spying on me?

Where'd you go?

That's none of your business.

But if you must know, I couldn't sleep,

so I went out for a bit.

You were gone all night.

I went out for a bit and I got some cookies

and I got a cup of coffee.

You saw the proof.

You are a guest in my home,

Sarah, a guest who is trying to reconnect with my daughter.

I think I have the right to know where you wander off

to in the middle of the night.

A guest.

Is that all I am to you? I am Jenna's mother.

You're her biological mother. I'm her mom.

There's a difference.

I have a right to be in her life.

She's my daughter too. - You gave up that right

when you signed the adoption papers.

What you have right now is a privilege.

And it's one that I can revoke.

Morning, Claire.

Oh, Lenny, you could not have come at a better time.

Follow me.

Sarah, could you come here please?

I'd like you to meet somebody.

Sarah, this is Lenny. He's a colleague of mine.

Lenny, this is Sarah, Jenna's biological mother.

Nice to meet you, Sarah.

Nice to meet you too.

So you work with Claire at her charity place?

I help the foundation with things from time to time.

Reuniting with Jenna after all these years,

it must be something, huh?

Yeah, it is.

We're dealing with a sensitive situation

at the foundation.

Oh, well, I can leave you two alone.

Actually, Sarah.

I was hoping I could ask you a few questions.

Questions for me? What would I know?

I'm not singling you out,

but due to current circumstances at the foundation,

we're being cautious

with anyone new in Claire's life. Just a precaution.

If you have nothing to hide.

You have nothing to worry about.

I'm not doing this.

Sarah, please. If you're gonna be a part of Jenna's life,

I need to know that you have nothing to hide,

particularly after your late night excursion.

Please, Sarah, listen. You say you want my trust.

This is how you can earn it. Okay?

I'll give you two some privacy.

Why don't you take a seat for me.

I'm just gonna give it to you straight, Sarah.

We have some serious concerns

about recent events at the foundation.

I'm not gonna bore you with the details.

If you know, you know, and if you don't...

Know what? I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, like I said, either you know or you don't.

But your sudden appearance coincides with a number

of troubling events.

I didn't just show up. Jenna called me.

Let's talk about your history.

You claim five years sobriety, but you were using for what?

A decade after giving up Jenna?

I didn't abandon her. I gave her a better life.

I mean, what...

What does my sobriety have to do with Claire's foundation?

I'm just trying to understand

how a former junkie conveniently reappears in the life

of a child adopted by a woman

who controls substantial charitable funds.

You think that I'm here for money?

I didn't even know who Claire was until yesterday.

I have nothing to hide.

Well then, where'd you go last night, Sarah?

That's none of your business.

It became my business

when you walked through the door of that house.

Now answer my question.

You think that you're intimidating me?

Let me tell you something.

I have dealt with people a lot tougher than you,

and they have not liked how it turned out for them.

Is that a threat, Sarah?

It's a reality check.

You don't know me and you don't know what I'm capable of.

I can see that Claire's trying to keep me from my daughter.

So here's what's going to happen, Lenny.

I'm going to leave now.

And when you're gone, I'm going to come back

and there is nothing that you or Claire can do to stop me.

What happened in here?

I may have pushed too hard, Claire. I'm sorry.

- How bad was it? - Her reaction was intense.

Unhinged even. It's deeply concerning.

Oh God.

Do you think she's involved

with what's going on in the foundation?

It's a strong possibility.

That's Sarah's cup.

You mind if I take that?

- Yeah. - DNA.

I'm gonna make sure she is who she claims to be.

Push to get that background check expedited.

Okay, so what do we do now?

We watch and we wait. Until we have proof,

we have to be careful how we play this.

People like Sarah, they tend to show you

who they really are when they're backed into a corner.

She showed me plenty.

Gotta tell you, Claire Bear,

these green beans are fantastic.

I love what you did with the almonds,

slivered and all that.

Mm. Really outdid yourself.

Thank you.

What about you, Jenna?

Aren't these great?

Hm? Great green beans.

GGB!

They're fine.

Okay.

How was school today Jenna, anything cool-

Are we really gonna do this?

Do what honey?

Pretend that you didn't cross a line today,

that you didn't have Lenny brutally interrogate Sarah.

That's not what happened. We were just trying-

Trying to what?

Protect me by driving away my birth mother?

Now kiddo, your mother's just looking out

for your best interests.

Oh, really? So having a security guard grill Sarah

about her past was in my best interest?

Honey, Lenny is not a security guard. He's a professional.

And there are legitimate concerns.

The only concern I see is how quickly

you wanted to get rid of her.

Honey. That's not true.

I welcomed her into our home.

Only to interrogate her and drive her out.

You never wanted her here in the first place.

Of course I did. But we need to do this the safe way.

I want you to be happy, Jenna.

How can I be happy when you've taken away my chance

to know my real mom?

Okay, kiddo, that's enough. Apologize to your mother.

I don't think so, green bean. I'm done here.

Jenna, please. Let's talk about this.

There is nothing to talk about.

- Well, where are you going? - Over to Marcy's house.

At least her family doesn't drive away

people she cares about.

Honey, please don't leave like this.

Don't worry, mom.

I'm sure you can have Lenny track me down

if you're that concerned.

She's just upset.

She'll come around.

She just needs time.

What if she doesn't? What if she never forgives me?

Hey, look at me.

You haven't lost her.

She's angry and upset. She loves you.

It's gonna work out.

I hope so.

Oh, it's Lenny.

I'm gonna take this. - Yeah.

Okay.

Lenny, hi.

I got the DNA and background in.

- And? - It's confirmed.

Sarah's Jenna's biological mother.

Background check is clean too.

She stayed outta trouble for the last five years

it looks like since she stopped using.

So she's good. I have nothing to worry about.

Well, it presents two distinct possibilities.

Either this is all cause for relief

or she's been honest about these two things

specifically while lying about everything else,

because there is an update with the foundation.

And you're gonna wanna sit down for this.

- I'm listening. - They found Kara.

Great. Did she explain what's going on?

She's dead, Claire.

What?

Oh my God. Kara's dead?

I'm sorry. I know you two were close.

This is a police investigation now.

I'll try to shake out what I can.

I... I can't believe this. What do I do now?

You need to remain calm.

I'll liaise with the police and keep you updated.

Okay? Thank you, Lenny.

Keep me posted.

Remember, if you need anything, call me.

Okay.

Claire, are you okay?

Marcus? It's Kara, she's dead.

- Whoa, what? - Yeah.

Okay wow. Do we know anything else?

Is she behind everything that was happening?

I don't know. It's a police investigation now.

- Jeez. - Jenna.

We need to get Jenna home now.

Okay, Claire?

I... I... I'm still not understanding what's happening.

I can't... I can't have her out of the house.

Not now.

Hi, this is Jenna. Please leave a message.

Jenna, it's mom. Call me back immediately.

It's urgent, please.

All right, Claire, honey, let's just breathe. All right?

She's just angry and upset

and she's probably just ignoring your calls.

No, you don't understand Marcus.

With Kara dead it's... it's not just

about the foundation anymore.

Kara could have been pressured by someone. By Sarah.

Who knows? We don't know.

I hear you.

We don't know. We don't know if Sarah-

- Hey, hey. - Could be capable of-

I hear you. I hear you.

But let's just... let's think about it.

Marcy. Right?

She's with Marcy. Jenna's safe at Marcy's.

You're right. I'm calling Marcy.

- Hello? - Marcy.

It's... it's... it's Jenna's mom.

I need to speak to her immediately, please.

- Um. She's not here. - Marcy,

I know that you two cover for each other,

but this is very important that I speak to her right now.

Mrs. Tiller, I'm not covering for her.

Jenna's not here, and I haven't talked to her tonight.

Marcy, when's the last time you talked to Jenna?

At school today. Is everything okay, Mrs. Tiller?

Yeah, everything's fine.

If you... if you see her or if you talk

to her, have her call me immediately please.

- Sure. No problem. - She's not there?

No, she's not there. She's not there.

Marcy hasn't seen her.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me, look at me.

We're not gonna go there. We're not gonna go there.

Let's call some friends. Let's find her.

No, I'm calling Lenny. We need... we need help.

All right.

We can't just sit here and do nothing, Lenny.

Jenna is out there somewhere.

I understand your concern, Claire,

but we need to handle this rationally.

At this point, not enough time has passed

to file a police report.

Jenna ran out after an argument.

It's not like she was out

and didn't return home at her usual time.

But with everything that's going on...

I know but we need to consider all the possibilities here.

This could just be a case of a teenager acting out.

They're known to do that, Claire, especially yours.

He's right. Claire Bear.

Remember last year when Jenna snuck out to that concert?

This is different, Marcus.

We should be out there looking for her.

No. The best thing you could do right now is stay put

in case she comes home.

You're right.

I know the timing is concerning,

but we have no evidence that Jenna's disappearance is linked

to anything else going on.

Right now, all signs point to a teenage girl

who is upset and needs space.

I promise.

The moment the appropriate amount of time goes by,

we will file a report

and the police will conduct a full-scale search.

Until then, we need to remain calm

and take this minute-by-minute.

I hope you're right.

Jenna Marie Tiller, where have you been?

- Mom I can explain. - Oh, I'm listening.

And this better be more impressive

than your college essay is gonna be.

Hey, everyone. What a great night, right Jenna?

What are you doing here?

Jenna said everything was fine.

- You did what? - Yeah, I did. So what?

I called Sarah and I told her we were cool

and guess what?

Okay? Sunset Rodeo was playing at Pizza King Stadium.

And Sarah totally hooked us up.

We had great seats

and we even got to meet the band backstage.

There were like 20,000 people there. It was epic.

Are you insane?

I told you we were looking into Sarah and you sneak out

and go to Rodeo Clown?

She could be dangerous.

Dangerous how?

She took me to a concert and brought me back home.

That's it. - She's a teenager.

She's allowed to have a little fun.

Well, you know what, Sarah?

A lot of really horrible things have happened

since you've shown up.

There's a woman who's dead. Dead, Sarah.

And if you're involved with this, I promise you,

I will get to the bottom of it.

You... you've completely lost your mind.

You need to get out of our lives and get out of this house

before I file a restraining order.

No. No, mom, you can't do that.

I absolutely can, and I will.

And you are grounded for the rest of your life.

Get to your room now. Get up to your room.

Sarah. You need to get out now.

You can't keep me from her. She is my daughter too.

Watch me.

You handled yourself well there, Claire.

So what can we do now, legally? I mean.

Frankly, we're still short on evidence linking Sarah

to anything suspicious.

But with Kara, the foundation, there has to be something.

I didn't want to get you excited earlier,

but the reason I wasn't worried about Sarah tonight is

because I've uncovered some information about Kara.

What kind of information?

There's a name that keeps popping up in my investigation.

A man's name. Ezra Daly.

Ezra Daly? Who is that?

See, that's the thing.

I can't find anything concrete on him.

I'm almost certain that's an alias

one of my guys uncovered some surveillance footage

from the gas station across the street from

where they found Kara's body.

There's someone there with her

who's at least a foot taller than Sarah.

So Sarah's not involved.

I wouldn't say that just yet.

There's a possibility she could be working for this

Ezra Daly, as I'm starting to suspect Kara might have been

that footage uncovered a lead.

One of my guys tracked his car to a house on the West Side.

I'm gonna pay Ezra a visit tomorrow

and see what he has to say about all this.

You're gonna pay him a visit?

Don't you think we should leave this

to the professionals, Lenny?

All do respect Marcus, you're looking at one.

But for now, let's all get some rest.

Nobody's solving anything if we're exhausted.

What's important is you're all under one roof tonight.

Sarah, Ezra Daily, anybody else,

we're gonna get to the bottom of this soon enough.

Hey, let's get some sleep.

You know, I don't think you've slept in days.

How can I sleep?

Jenna snuck out to a concert with a woman

who may be involved with a murder.

And she's home now. Safe in her room.

Yeah, but for how long? You heard what Sarah said.

She's not just gonna disappear, Marcus.

Hey, look at me.

Look, whatever's going on

with Ezra, Sarah, whoever,

we're gonna face it together like we always have.

I know I just... I just keep thinking about Kara

and I mean, what if we're next?

What if Jenna's next?

It's not gonna happen, Claire, I'm

not gonna let that happen.

You don't know that. We don't know anything.

Sarah shows up here out of the blue after 15 years

and everything suddenly goes wild?

The foundation is being pilfered. People are dying, Marcus.

Claire. Claire.

I know, but guess what?

You got Lenny. - That's true.

Lenny is good at what he does,

and I'm sure tomorrow he's gonna have

answers on this Ezra guy.

Yeah, that's true. You're right.

It's time for Ezra to pay if he's behind it. Who knows?

What's that?

It's probably just Jenna.

Or Sarah came back.

Jenna?

What?

- Goodnight. - Okay.

See, it's just Jenna. Claire, let's get some sleep.

Okay? - Yeah.

Whatever tomorrow brings,

we're gonna face it together like we always do.

- Okay? - I'm right here, okay?

- Okay. I love you. - I love you too.

Get some sleep.

Ezra Daly. I'm not a cop.

I don't need a warrant.

Ezra, I just want to talk

to you about all this crime you're mixed up in.

Why don't you come out and talk to me?

Ezra, buy this house with the foundation's money?

Come on out so we can talk.

It was you.

I knew you were trouble the moment I laid eyes on you.

This is Lenny Smith from Professional Security.

Leave a message.

Lenny, it's Claire.

I don't know if you've been getting my calls,

but I still haven't gotten that update from you

and you didn't show up for our 11 o'clock.

So I'm about ready to step into a meeting.

But if you call, I'll pick up.

And if for some reason I don't, just call Elana,

she knows to put you right through.

So yeah, just call me whenever you can. Thanks.

Oh.

Lenny. Hi.

Are there any updates?

What's going on? - I'm sorry, ma'am.

Are you trying to reach Lenny Smith?

This is Detective Russo. Who am I speaking with?

This is Claire Tiller.

I work with Lenny.

He's a consultant at the Dunton Foundation.

Is everything okay?

I'm afraid no, it's not okay.

When was the last time you spoke with Lenny?

Last night around 11:00 PM. Why?

What's going on?

I'm sorry to inform you, but Lenny was found dead

this morning at a house in the western part of town.

We're conducting an investigation.

Dead? What?

What happened?

We're still piecing that together.

Look, I knew Lenny. A lot of us did.

He was a good guy.

We're all pretty broken up about this.

No, no, no. I can't believe this.

Ms. Tiller, what was Lenny working on for you?

He was working on a security breach in our foundation.

There was an employee, Kara Evans, she went missing

with foundation money.

And there was also this guy named Ezra Daly.

He thought that maybe that he was involved.

Ezra Daly?

That must be the unidentified body we found with Lenny.

I'll definitely have to look into that.

Do you know... was Lenny investigating anyone else?

Yeah.

Sarah Hayes.

My daughter's birth mother who recently came into our lives.

Yeah, he was looking at... looking into her too.

I know this is difficult, Ms. Tiller,

but we're doing everything we can

to figure out what happened here.

I'd like to stop by later

to get a formal statement from you,

if that's all right.

Of course, detective. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Hi, you reached Marcus.

Sorry I missed your call, but leave a message

and I'll get back to you faster than

you could say voicemail.

Marcus, I'm headed home right now.

I need you to call me back right away. Okay?

This is an emergency.

Marcus, I'm in a taxi heading out of the city.

Just call me as soon as you get this.

Marcus, I don't know why you're not picking up your phone,

but call me back.

Hi, this is Jenna. Please leave a message.

Jenna, it's mom.

Please come home right after school. Whatever you do,

don't talk to Sarah. For once, please just listen to me.

Marcus. - Claire, I'm so sorry.

I was in a meeting. What's going on?

It's Sarah. She's behind everything.

I'll explain when we're together. Just leave work now okay?

Alright. Alright.

I'm on my way. I'm leaving right now.

What? What?

Claire? Hey, Claire, Claire.

What's... what's going on?

Sarah kidnapped Jenna.

Sarah's bag... they... Kara's foundation ID.

Internal records, bank documents.

She was working with Kara the whole time.

And then when the bank transfer failed,

she killed her to cover it up.

That, uh... Claire, that doesn't make sense.

It makes perfect sense. She got close to us.

She moved into our house with us.

Oh my God. Lenny.

Lenny must have figured it out

and then she killed him to cover it up.

What? Wait, hold on. Lenny's dead?

They found his body this morning and now she has Jenna.

She's gonna kill Jenna!

Okay, Claire, we're gonna get through this.

We're gonna get through this.

What do I do? What do I do?

All right, Claire.

I know it's hard, but maybe we should give Sarah

what she's asking for, for Jenna's sake.

What?

It's her biological daughter.

She's not gonna hurt her if we cooperate with the transfer,

Claire.

I never told you about any transfer.

Oh, um.

Guess you're right.

Hi there, Claire Bear.

It looks like we're taking our relationship

to the next level, huh?

Oh, Sarah's phone sure came in handy, huh?

Aw, Claire Bear.

Did you really think

that Sarah was the villain in this story?

You idiot. I orchestrated the whole thing.

No, I had someone pretend to be Jenna

call Sarah, luring her here.

She was the perfect scapegoat after all.

And you played right into my hand

seeing exactly what I wanted you to see, didn't you?

Well, I don't think she'll be needing this where she is.

I hear cell service isn't so great

when you're buried six feet below the ground.

Claire, this is adorable. Your efforts, they're all in vain.

You know that? But I'm a nice guy.

I'll tell you what.

I'll remove your gag

if you promise not to scream.

Are you gonna be a good girl, Claire? Yeah?

Okay.

Here you go.

Why? Why Marcus, why are you doing this?

You know...

God, it is absolutely mind blowing

that you still do not recognize me, Claire.

What? The silly little mustache

just throws you off?

I guess it's like Superman, right?

Put on a pair of glasses. No one can recognize you?

God, how could people be so stupid, Claire!

How are you so stupid?

What are you talking about?

Three years ago?

The Dunton Foundation Innovation Grant?

Ugh! I came to your office with a dream

revolutionary water filtration system

for developing nations?

What?

Bing, bing, bing, bing, ring any bells yet?

That was a billion dollar idea!

All I needed was a little push.

And you sat in

that boardroom smiling at me like you actually cared.

And I believed it, Claire.

Then the next day I got a call from your assistant saying

that my work didn't align

with the foundation's mission statement.

You know what happened next?

My funding dried up.

Years of work, Claire, worthless.

I lost everything.

My wife? Walks out, takes my kids.

And then the judge...

The judge... oh, that judge...

says that I'm too unstable

to see them.

My own children, Claire.

Gone because of you.

But, you know, silver linings. Rock bottom has a funny way

of clarifying things.

So I said: hey, why make clean drinking water

for people in need when I could take everything

from you instead?

So I planned, I waited,

I studied you until the right moment to accidentally, whoa,

bump into you.

And then grow to become the perfect,

supportive, significant other.

Isn't that right, Claire Bear?

Claire Bear, GGB.

And it worked 'cause you ate it up!

And you know, the foundation money.

That was just a bonus.

No. What I really wanted

was for you to feel what I felt

watching everything you love slip away

while someone smiled at you

and told you it's for the best.

How's that for alignment

with your mission statement, Claire Bear?

How could you do this? Marcus?

- Look, you love me. You loved... - Oh

shut up! Shut up!

I lied! Clearly!

What, you really... you really think

that I cared about some single washed up mom

and her adopted brat?

Ugh, you know something?

Kara? Your good friend Kara?

She thought I loved her too.

Oh my God.

Mhm. She did a lot of legwork for me out of that love.

And then what'd she do?

She went and got herself locked out of all them accounts.

So, I don't know.

I guess you could say that her usefulness outlived her,

Claire. - You killed Kara?

Yeah. Yeah.

I killed Kara. Get with the picture, duh.

Claire, come on.

Keep up. - You're a monster.

Marcus, please.

Oh, come on. Come on. Come on, come on.

Please call me by my real name for once.

Don't you remember it yet? Come on.

You can say, say it, Claire. Say it.

- You're Ezra Daly? - Jerry Bauer!

Jerry Bauer, Claire!

Ezra was just another idiot that I had running

around doing my dirty work.

Who - guess what -

I killed! - No.

- Yes. - You're sick. You're sick.

Okay. You know what?

I'll give you that one. That I will give you.

Guilty of that.

You know Sarah though, that that was a two-for-one.

That was fun.

I got to watch her drive you absolutely insane,

all while perfect opportunity to frame her

for both the money and the murders.

Bam baby.

Don't tell me that you killed... you killed Lenny too.

Please don't tell me you killed Lenny.

Claire, I really told you not to involve him.

I didn't want to kill Lenny. He was a cool dude.

But what choice did you leave me, huh?

Oh, poor Lenny.

Jenna, you're an honor roll student, right?

What's that spell? Gasoline.

Smart kid. Huh?

Barbecue. Anybody?

Oh. You know, this is just great storytelling, Claire.

I get to live it up in the Cayman Islands and

all the while Sarah gets to take the blame as a dead person.

I can't wait to read in the news.

"Extra, extra. Read all about it.

Destitute mother steals money,

but can't handle the fact

that adoptive mom won't let her have a relationship

with their daughter."

That's true. Right?

So she kills them both before vanishing in the wind.

I want you to remember Claire Bear. You...

You did this to yourself

and you did this to your precious Jenna.

- No, Marcus. - What a lovely souvenir.

Well, guess it's time to play the grieving boyfriend

for the next few months

and then it's off to the Cayman Islands to collect my prize.

Guess all there's left to do is to light the match.

Well, I've got news for you,

I don't think you'll be making that flight.

Run Jenna!

Ooh Claire! That was a good one! Okay.

You know what? You're gonna regret doing that.

Oh God. No!

Hey, Jenna! I ran track!

Jenna! Oh, Jenna!

Jenna! Jenna!

Jenna!

Oh, you remember when I told you I was adopted, Jenna?

Well, guess what? That was a lie too, Jenna!

My parents are nice enough people,

but they're so boring!

Boring, boring, boring.

Jenna? Are you in your room? You should be,

'cause you're grounded to the end of the year, Jenna.

Oh, where could she be? Hm?

Oh, under the bed is too obvious even for you.

Ah.

Got me there, Jenna.

Oh.

Gonna get you. GGB!

Don't think I forgot about your attitude, Jenna.

Little pig. Little pig.

Little pig. Let me in.

Or I'll huff! And I'll puff!

Oh, you think a a locked door's gonna save you?

Huh?

Oh, I got the tool for this.

- Hey! - I thought I buried-

Jenna. Jenna, come out.

It's safe.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's safe now. It's okay.

You're okay. You're okay.

- Mom. Mom, we have to help Mom. - Let's go.

Did you remember to pack your sunscreen?

You know how easily you burn.

Yes. Mom.

Despite it being 40 degrees out,

SPF 50, just like you said.

Oh. What about your allergy medication?

Did you pack the-

Mom? Relax, I've got everything.

I mean, we went over the list like five times already.

I know, I know. It's just...

I'm gonna miss you so much.

I'm gonna miss you too, mom.

I'm gonna get that. Okay? You finish up.

Okay.

- Hi. - Claire!

It's so good to see you. - You too.

- Jenna ready? - Almost.

She's just doing some last minute packing.

Can I get you a water or a seltzer or something?

No, thank you. We are already behind schedule.

Oh Jenna, you better get moving.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

How are things at the foundation?

I heard you were able to recover most of the funds.

Yes thankfully, it was a lot of work,

but I think we're now back on track.

In fact, we just approved a grant

for a women's shelter downtown.

That's wonderful, Claire.

So you're headed to your hometown first?

Yeah we'll spend a few days there.

We'll visit her father's grave.

I'll introduce Jenna to her grandparents.

Ah, that is so great, Sarah.

I am... I'm so glad that Jenna will get to know

that part of her history.

And then you're going to Chicago to see Rodeo Clown?

Sunset Rodeo.

Gosh, I'll get it eventually.

You know, it's not too late

if you wanna join, there's always room for one more.

Oh yeah. Thank you.

But I think my days in the circus are over.

You two go have your adventure.

You know, Sarah,

I just wanna apologize for everything that happened.

No, Claire.

I mean, the way I treated you and just the-

Stop.

Stop, you don't need to apologize.

I understand why you were suspicious.

I didn't... I didn't exactly make it easy on you.

That night I disappeared,

I went to a late night AA meeting.

Why didn't you tell me?

Honestly, I was...

I was afraid you would hold it against me.

But I know better now.

And I know that you were just trying to protect Jenna,

and that's why you letting us have this time together,

it... it means so much to me.

- Thank you. - No, thank you.

I wanna give you a hug.

- Okay. I'm ready. - All right.

Let's get this show on the road!

- Sounds good. - Okay.

- Have fun. Be safe. - I know.

And remember.

You're just a phone call away.

Never change, Mom.

We're gonna be okay.
