You're up.

Did you even sleep?

Yeah, a little bit.

But I gotta get to school.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. You're going to school?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

And please stop looking at me like that.

No, I just figured you'd want to stay home today because, well, you know. No,

it's better if I go to school.

Okay.

Okay, I can see how you might initially believe that, but...

Let's just think this through, okay?

You know everybody's going to be talking about Eddie and asking you questions

about him. Are you sure you're ready for that?

Yeah.

I can handle that.

Wow.

Mel.

It's fine, okay?

It's going to be fine.

Where are you going?

School.

Do you think that's the best idea?

Yeah. Why is everyone so surprised by that?

I just don't want you to feel like you have to go. It's completely

understandable if you want to stay home.

I don't.

I tried.

She wants to do this.

Guys, it's okay.

All right? I need to...

concentrate on something and get my mind off it, because otherwise I'm just going

to stay here and be alone with my thoughts, and I really can't do that

right now.

Laura, maybe it's a good thing for you to be alone with your thoughts.

You don't have to rush it.

It'll take time.

I know that.

All right, but just stop treating me like I'm so fragile, okay? Just let me

deal with this in my own way, and just please, please just leave me alone.

How long was I asleep?

A few hours.

Oh, God.

When did you get back?

I've been here for a while now.

Well, you should have woke me up. I tried, but you sleep like a horse.

Good morning to you, too, Mr.

Smarty Pants.

Any changes?

No, none.

She hasn't moved.

All right, baby girl.

It's time for you to wake up.

Come on, honey. You can sleep in the lineup.

Just open your eyes, okay?

Let me know you're all right.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How you feeling?

About us?

Everything that's happened.

I don't know.

Strange. Not good.

I'm sorry this is all happening at once.

It doesn't have to.

Jake, you know it does.

I'll be gone this evening.

Okay.

Unless you change your mind about this whole separation.

I told you, Jake, I needed time to think.

I thought you accepted that.

That doesn't mean I have to like it.

I don't want to be late for work.

Listen, I'm really sorry about Eddie.

I know how much you must be hurting.

Thanks.

You really going to work today?

Yeah, if it'll keep my mind occupied.

At least I hope it will.

So you'll tell me where you're staying?

Yeah, of course.

Okay.

Have a good day.

Look, wait, Tracy, it doesn't have to be this way.

All right, let's just sit down, hash this whole thing out.

We can stay here, we can have breakfast at a restaurant, but together, you know,

let's just talk.

Thanks.

Why are you in your weekend clothes?

I called in sick.

I figured you'd be home today, so I was going to keep you company.

Well, as we've covered, I'm absolutely fine. So you can call them and tell them

that you'll be in.

Oh, it's okay. I've got some errands to catch up on anyway.

I guess we should get going.

Thank you for breakfast.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm going to be fine.

All right, let's go. Do you have your laptop?

No.

You watch out for her today. Trust me.

I'll be her personal pit bull.

Look, I want this marriage to work.

All right? I know that now more than anything.

Let me tell you what happened last night.

You went out to get some air, you said.

I waited up for you. I called you. Jake, you never called me back. I know, and

I'm so sorry about that, but it is Eddie, and it has messed me up bad.

I understand.

I understand that.

And I don't know what I was doing. I couldn't think about anything else.

Not even me.

And I apologize for shutting you out, okay? But I am here now.

And what we have, it's worth saving.

I'm not so sure about that, Jake.

You said it yourself. When tragedy strikes, you shut me out.

That's not a marriage, Jake.

Especially not one I'm willing to settle for.

Nope, not today. I tried calling, but no answer.

Do you think he's up at his place?

If he is, he's not answering the door.

Huh. I'll give it a try. Maybe he can open up.

Max?

Hey, Max, are you in there?

This is Max. Leave a message.

Hey, Max, it's Nora.

Will you just please give me a call when you get this?

It's not urgent.

It's not true.

I'm really worried about you. I just want to make sure you're okay.

No luck?

He's up there. He's not answering.

If he left, he left very early.

He usually lets me know where he's going.

I've never had to track him down before.

Everything changed last night. It sure did. I can't believe any of it.

Eddie's accident, Chloe's fall.

I wish there was something I could do to help.

You know what?

Maybe there is.

Thank you for doing this, Grace. Well, he gave me the key in case of emergency,

and this is starting to feel like one.

Max?

Max? Max?

Are you here, Max?

Max, it's your two favorite girls.

He's not here.

Hey, Lauren.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks. I don't know what to say.

There's nothing to say.

It's fine.

I can't believe you actually came today.

You really should have stayed at home.

That's what I've been told.

Lauren, I completely support you in this decision.

She came to school today to, you know, keep busy.

To keep her mind off things.

Maybe you should go to the beach?

Or the movies?

Or shopping?

Girls love shopping. He's not trying to help you. I'm seriously... No, it's

fine. It's fine.

Don't worry about it. I'll be okay.

Any distraction is good.

Ugh, almost any.

Those two here, you know Adriana can't be far behind.

Maybe we should consider that beach option.

Oh, looks like they are alone.

Hey, Lauren.

Hey, Kim. Hey, Remy.

Really sorry about Eddie.

You must be devastated.

It's super sad. You guys were such a great couple.

You're being really brave. Thanks. I appreciate that.

It seems like just last week that you guys were performing together and so in

love.

It was last week.

Are you planning on recording another album?

Maybe you can dedicate it to Eddie.

I haven't even thought about that.

You know what? Okay, I think we're done here. Thank you for your attention and

concern, but Lauren needs her space.

I can't believe you even came to school today.

I'd be such a wreck. Okay, that's enough. Let's just keep moving.

Come on.

Okay, sorry. Please, excuse our compassion.

Okay, you know what, everybody?

Lauren Tate is going through a horribly difficult time in the wake of this

tragedy, and as you can imagine, she would appreciate it if you would respect

her privacy.

I said back off.

Oh, Lauren, are you okay? What happened?

I'm fine.

Lauren, are you all right? You're like goth white.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Listen, I don't want you to have to settle for anything, okay?

But I need to know, is it too late?

Is this permanent?

I don't know right now.

Okay.

It's not a yes.

It's a maybe, and I guess I can live with that.

But, baby, you just got to give me a chance to prove to you that how much I

love you.

I know you can love me again.

I love you.

I never stopped loving you. That's not what this is about.

Okay, then, baby, why are we doing this?

I'm not sure loving each other is enough to make this work.

Okay, and I accept the blame for that.

And I know I've made a lot of mistakes in the past year, and I could have

avoided all of them if I made you my first priority.

And if I could go back and change everything... Look, it's not what you

did, okay? It's who you are.

Wow.

Okay, that's rough. I didn't mean it like that. I just... Look, I knew who

you were when I married you.

Part of the reason why I fell in love with you was because of your drive and

ambition. And you were just as driven and ambitious.

Yes, I still am. I love my job. I do.

But it doesn't define me. I need more than that.

Maybe I was resentful.

Of your job and jealous of the time you spent with your clients.

And everyone else.

Baby, I swear I did not know how upset you were.

I guess I should have said something, but I mean, I just let it all build up

inside until last night. I reached that breaking point.

Look, I just feel like we both need time to figure out what we really want.

I know what I want.

It's you.

I wish it was that easy for me.

Maybe I can change.

Art, give me that chance.

Jake, you don't know that you can.

And I can't expect you to. That's not fair.

There's got to be some solution here.

All right, please.

I just need to take some inventory, figure out what I need, Jake.

What I can live with, what I can't.

Yes, I will have him call you shortly.

Thank you.

Jake Madsen, management.

Could you hold, please?

Jake Madsen, management.

We'll be issuing a statement regarding the death of Eddie Duran later this

afternoon.

Thank you.

Hey.

Thank God you're here.

The phone has been ringing literally every five seconds.

They all want Jake's statement regarding Eddie.

Have you seen him? No, not today.

I haven't talked to him since last night.

It's like he's totally dropped off the grid. That's very unlike Jake.

Do you know if he's coming in?

I think so.

Well, you haven't spoken to him either?

Look, Eddie's death is obviously shattering for Jake. He might just need

more time before he can discuss it.

Okay.

I still can't believe that Eddie's gone.

So young, so talented, and then suddenly it's all over. It's just...

It's crazy.

I know.

But look, I'm here, and I'll pitch in when the phones go berserk.

Thanks, girl.

About last night, if... Your secret is safe.

Always.

Hey. Max!

Here, here.

Oh, hi.

Hi.

Hey. Hi.

How'd you get in?

Uh, the doorman from last night. He was just getting off work. He let me up.

He's worried about you.

Oh. Um, well, how'd you know I was here?

I tried your place first. There's no answer. Grace let me in. She's worried

about you, too. Have you been here all night?

Yeah. I probably look like hell, huh? No, no, no. Just exhausted.

I wanted to leave after you and Lauren, but instead I ended up spending the

night here.

Just going crazy, you know, trying to figure out who would do something like

that. You know, there's got to be a reason.

You didn't sleep at all?

Oh, no.

Oh, Max.

No, not at all. Actually, I made a list of people who could possibly hate Chloe

enough to do something like this. It's a long list.

Yeah, well, it's Chloe we're talking about, right?

Yeah.

I also found Eddie's contacts, so I started calling some of Chloe's friends

and see if they knew something.

Did you find anything?

No. Half of them haven't called me back. The other half sounded like they felt

sorry for me.

Probably thought I was a grief-crazed father trying to exonerate his dead son.

You don't believe that, right?

Hey, what are you staring at? Woman needs to be left alone. Get lost. Go.

Hey, Akili.

Hey. How you doing?

Okay.

It'd be a lot better if everyone at school would stop asking me about it.

I got it. Sorry.

We're all just... We're all just hurting for you.

Just trying to keep my mind on other things, you know?

That's good. Keep yourself distracted.

Yeah. All right, well, then, if you're looking for something to focus on, then

maybe you're up for that session later on today.

Oh, right. I completely forgot. I'm so sorry, Kelly. I've just been so

preoccupied. I can imagine.

But luckily, it's not till later this evening, so you'll have plenty of time.

I don't think I can do it today.

Okay, well, then should I reschedule for next week?

I don't know. It's going to depend on how I feel.

But I'll let you know. Okay.

Stay strong. I'm pulling for you.

Okay.

Talk soon.

Bye.

Are you having second thoughts about recording?

No, I just... I just can't do it today.

Yeah.

I really hope it's not too disappointing for Kelly. No, no, no, no. Don't even

think about that.

Everyone understands what you're going through.

I don't know if I even understand it.

You know, sometimes I'm...

Everything's fine.

And then the next second I just feel panicky and nauseous. Hey, this is what

I was afraid of. No, I'm going to be okay.

I can handle it.

Okay. Just know that you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with,

okay?

It's just so hard.

I know, I know. It's so hard.

I just have to stay calm. Okay, yeah. Okay, so just take some deep breaths,

just like I taught you, okay? Yeah.

Just breathe, just breathe.

You're not being unreasonable.

I can't believe that Eddie would have pushed Chloe either.

Well, thank you. At least I was able to convince someone, right? No, you didn't

have to convince me. I saw the way Eddie was with Lauren.

Told me everything I needed to know.

Still, it's good to have your support.

I'm not just saying that.

Your son was kind and generous and loving.

With us, he was, yeah, but, you know... Chloe lied to him. She cheated on him.

He had every reason to be angry at her. Yeah, no, he did at the time.

Yeah, of course, but it's been a while since they broke up.

Well, Detective McCarthy says that apparently there's something more

recent.

Tyler told her that it was Chloe who hacked into Lauren's phone and sent that

disturbing text.

The one that had her so freaked out. That's right. She was so worried that

Eddie believed that.

Yeah. So Tyler told the police that that's the reason Eddie and Chloe

fought. You don't sound like you believe him.

Well, I believe Chloe is definitely capable of doing something like that.

And I also believe that if Eddie were to find out, he was going to react, right?

I don't think it has anything to do with the fall.

No, the Eddie that I know, the Eddie that you raised, would never hurt

another person.

Thank you.

So, what do you think happened?

I don't know.

But I'm going to have to figure it out.

I know Tyler knows something.

And the only other person that knows, it's Chloe.

You alright, darling?

You feel a little warm.

Is that better?

Hmm?

Black with five sugars.

Max Duran called.

I better call him back.

No, don't do that.

I'm feeling better, yeah. Okay, good. You know what else will make you feel a

lot better is some chamomile tea. So let me go make you some at your house. No,

no, I have to get to class now.

Lauren, you just almost had a panic attack. This is crazy.

Come on. I can do this. It's gonna be fine, okay? Promise.

Alright?

Yeah, what's up?

I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.

Hey, Lauren.

Hey, Cam.

I'm so sorry about Eddie and all that. Thanks.

If you ever want to talk about anything, just shoot me a text and I'm there,

okay?

That's really sweet of you.

Okay. Appreciate that.

Take care. Okay.

Don't get grabby with my phone.

I paid a kid 30 bucks to jailbreak it for me.

Trust me, you do not want to call Max Duran right now. Why not?

Because I told him and the cops that Eddie's the one that pushed Chloe off

the balcony.

And I'm pretty sure that's not sitting too well with the guy.

I'm sure he doesn't believe you.

Of course not.

His precious little Eddie couldn't do anything wrong.

The idiot thinks I'm the one that did it. And I guarantee you, he's trying to

poison you against me.

Well... You didn't actually see Chloe get pushed, right?

What does that have to do with anything?

Maybe you're wrong about Eddie.

You always hated him, and now you got something to pin on him.

You're the one with the vendetta here, not Max.

What, you actually think I'm capable of hurting Chloe like this?

I love her, Jackie.

Jeez, relax, Ty. I know that, okay?

I'm just saying maybe it isn't Eddie.

Look, think about it, okay?

Say somehow Eddie found out that Chloe was driving the car that killed his

mother. He would be outraged. He'd be out of control.

Possibly, yeah.

So he snapped, and he got in a fight with Chloe, and then he pushed her off

the terrace.

It still seems a little extreme.

Well, who knows what somebody's capable of in the heat of the moment.

Right?

I think I was next on the list.

I mean, he'd attack me after he got in a fight with Chloe. He was out of control.

All right, what was he saying?

He wasn't saying a lot. He was just swinging.

As much as I hate to admit it, his story kind of makes sense.

It's not a story, Jackie.

It's the truth. That's what happened.

And Eddie got what was coming to him.

Everybody thinks he was such an angel.

And now he is one.

Hi, you feel better?

Yeah, thank you.

Thanks for the kick in the pants. Yeah, well, a hot shower will do wonders to

clear your head.

Well, this one certainly gave me some clarity.

Oh, yeah? You want to share?

Well, I just keep coming back to the same question.

Why were Eddie and Tyler fighting?

Well, didn't Tyler give you an explanation for that? Yeah, something

I'm not buying.

You know Eddie. He's not a violent person. It seems like Tyler's the only

person that knows how to really piss him off. Well, maybe Eddie found out that

Tyler was the one that pushed Chloe.

It's possible.

Chloe knows Tyler. She trusts him. She could have let him in. But what was she

doing up here in the first place?

Grace says that she followed Eddie up here.

Oh, so they were up here together.

I know it looks terrible, but... No, it doesn't mean that he's guilty.

No, I mean, Tyler was here as well. I mean, we know that. He was fighting with

Eddie.

Question is, what did Tyler do after?

Well, maybe someone at the club saw him.

Let's find out.

Yeah.

Oh, finally.

Hey, how'd you get over here so fast? I thought your third period was across

campus. I blew it off.

I couldn't focus on conjugating German verbs right now.

And don't give me any grief about obsessing over Lauren.

I wouldn't do that. Especially not right now. I mean, she must be feeling like

she's in hell.

She's making it even harder on herself, pretending like everything's okay. Like

she can just get through the day all normal. She's putting up a brave front,

but everything cannot be okay with her. No, it's the perfectionist in her.

She's, you know, trying to keep it all together. She's afraid to let anyone see

how sad she is.

She really shouldn't be here.

That's for sure.

What can we do about it?

Convince her to go home.

Good luck.

She seems testy about anyone suggesting that. Okay, well, if reasoning doesn't

work, then we will just have to go to plan B.

Which is?

Physical force.

Seriously?

Grace?

Grace?

Damn it, I think she's gone.

Well, do you think if she saw someone who saw Tyler at the bar, wouldn't she

have mentioned it on her own? I don't know. We were pretty shaken up at the

moment.

This is all I have right now.

She was here just a while ago. Well, maybe she's still here. I'll go check

the stock. Can you check the office? Yeah.

Mr. Duran.

Detective. Can I have a few words with you?

Yeah.

How can I help you? I wanted to remind you that the Venture PD needs that

sample of Eddie's DNA so they can confirm the ID of the body in the car.

Okay, no problem. I'll get on it right away.

Any leads on Chloe's case?

No, not since we last spoke, unfortunately.

We're still trying to piece it together.

Well, Grace, my club manager, may have seen someone go up there after Chloe.

You mean, besides your son?

My son did not push Chloe Carter.

And hopefully Grace can give us a lead that will prove once and for all what

really happened.

Not necessarily.

Why not?

Come on, Mr. Duran. She works for you. She'll say whatever you want.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't interview her.

We should follow every possible lead and witness without drawing conclusions

first. Thanks.

Let me know if you need any help doing your job.

She's right. You can't disregard a lead without following up. True, but right

now I can only go with what I've got.

And all the evidence so far puts Eddie and Chloe together alone up there right

before she was pushed.

Well, then dig deeper. You need to find more evidence.

You mean evidence like the necklace we found on the terrace with a broken clasp

belonging to your son?

What is that, a necklace? I mean, I live there. My son visits every day. There's

tons of his stuff all over the place. I know this is difficult for you, Mr.

Duran. But so far, it is the best and only physical evidence we have.

Good day.

Just a minute, detective.

All you care about is closing your case. You don't give a damn about my son's

reputation. I resent that, Mr. Duran.

I'm just doing my job.

Well, I am doing my job as a father. And my son's reputation may be the only

thing he has left. I'm not going to let you tarnish that.

You have no idea what it feels like to not know whether your child is dead or

alive. Sir.

I don't mean to upset you any more than you already are. But that is exactly why

we need a DNA sample. To find out whether Eddie was in that car.

So I suggest you do that immediately.

I will personally deliver it to the Ventura PD if you'd like.

Pardon? Let's go do that right now. Let's go to his apartment and find out

if my son is still alive.

Do you want me to stay here and wait for Grace?

No, it's okay.

You can go home. You've done enough today.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Hi.

How are you? Well, it's turning out not to be a great day. I just had to cancel

Lauren's studio session.

She's having a meltdown.

I'm not surprised. Are you?

I guess I didn't know what to expect.

She just lost her boyfriend, her first love. She needs time to grieve.

Yeah, but I think Eddie would want her to throw herself into her work. Don't

you think?

How would we ever know what Eddie wanted?

Can't ask him, can we?

I'm sorry. That wasn't called for.

I don't mean to sound insensitive. I do care about her.

I get that. It's just you know how delicate of a process this creating a

song is.

She was just thrown into the spotlight, and if she just turns her back now...

People will understand.

They will forget about her.

And it's my job to look after Lauren's career.

It's also your job to care about her feelings, too, and you can't just throw

away love because it's bad for business.

Are we still on?

Eddie and Lauren, or are we talking about Tracy now?

I'm definitely not talking about Tracy with you.

Did you tell her what happened last night?

No, of course not.

And you and I aren't going to talk about it either.

I wonder if Eddie Duran had a will, or if he's giving all this money to Lauren.

So what if he did?

So then she'd be like a billionaire-ess?

Probably throw some super luxurious funeral party.

You're actually being serious right now.

Yeah? They can make that into, like, a TV show.

Are you really that shallow?

OMG, I was just curious.

God, what's wrong with you today?

This isn't some piece of gossip to just tweet about for your own amusement.

Someone died.

Okay, but it's not like I knew him or anything.

But you know Lauren.

Imagine what it must feel like for her.

She loved Eddie. And from what I could see, Eddie loved her back.

So what?

You're like their best friend or something?

No, I'm just like everyone else, except I don't enjoy watching other people in

pain. Grow up.

Hi. Hey.

It's okay to show your feelings, you know.

It's not okay.

Nothing's okay.

Lauren, you loved Eddie.

And he loved you. You can cry.

Like, you'd be some kind of psycho if you didn't.

I feel like I'm some freak show on display for the whole school to see.

No, I know. That's what I was afraid of.

Mom, let's just get out of here, okay?

Yeah, okay.

Let's go. Okay, I'm going to drive you home. Let's go. No, no, no, not home.

There's somewhere else I want to go.

Requesting a comment on Eddie's death in reverse alphabetical order. Us Weekly,

TMZ, Tiger Beat, Teen People, Rolling Stone, RadarOnline.com. Yeah, all right,

I get it.

Just tell everyone that I will have a statement by the end of the day.

You know what?

Forget it. Make it tomorrow.

Why don't we just have a press conference?

There's bound to be questions. No, I'm not doing it. I'm grieving too, damn it.

And I'm not going to stand up while some gossip hounds... What else is on the

phone sheet?

A lot of client calls.

Jasmine, Victor's agent, Lucio, Eric, Booth. All right, send them

each a personal message.

Explain to them that I'm dealing with Eddie's death and I will get back to

them as soon as I can. Jake, your call sheet is over three pages long.

Do you have somewhere else to be?

I can help. I can return all the client calls. I can prioritize them for you,

Jake. I'm sure you can.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'll be at my desk.

More intake stalled out, so you're looking to get any clients you can.

And you think that I would stoop to poaching yours right now when you're

mourning the death of your best friend? Yeah, that's really nice, Jake. You know

what? I don't even know what I'm doing here.

So try to take care of this.

Look, Kelly, I'm sorry.

I don't even know what I'm saying. This whole thing is killing me.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Whatever you need, I'm here for you.

That's just it. I don't know what I'm doing. I have no idea how this happened.

So you have enough?

Yes, sir.

They'll run your son's DNA from these and then compare it to what was obtained

at the crash site.

Good. I mean, no matter what happens, I know my son is innocent.

From what I've learned about your son, it does seem bizarre.

But I've seen a lot of bizarre things in my career.

I can't ignore the evidence I have.

But you can assume innocence before guilt.

Always. Good.

It's not going to be the same case with the press.

Those so-called journalists like Lily Park, they love to double score.

They're going to insinuate that Eddie pushed Chloe no matter what.

You have my word we'll treat this case with the utmost discretion.

You have to.

Because I need to figure out what happened to Chloe.

Mr. Duran, please let the police handle this.

I understand what you're going through.

Do you have any children?

Mrs. McCarthy?

No, sir.

Then you can't possibly understand what I'm going through.

You're right.

I can't.

I'll find what I'm looking for, and I'll clear my son's name.

The reporter from Entertainment Weekly is online.

Are you sure you're okay to answer these questions?

I don't care. It's what Eddie would want.

We'll keep it brief.

First question.

What does this mean for the future of Eddie Duran?

Kid's dead. What kind of future could he have?

I think they mean with previously recorded material.

All right, tell them we have some finished tracks from the kick-it-up

sessions at the MK concert.

His last concert.

Will there be a posthumous CD release?

You know, he hasn't even gone two days, and what do they think we're doing?

You know, making a damn album?

You know what?

I was wrong. I can't do this. Okay, why don't I just say that we're talking to

the record label and we're still waiting to hear back.

Would you mind?

Yeah, no, I'll finish up.

Um, keep it simple and generic wherever you can.

Okay, I will.

Okay, I gotta go.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Listen, I'm gonna be out all day, no calls.

You know you can't take any of this personally.

I know.

It's not like I expected him to come here today and say, oh, I'm going to

leave Tracy.

That's never going to happen.

Where are we?

This is my secret place.

This is it?

Yeah.

This is where I come when I need to think. No, I know. I just thought it'd

be a lot more secretive, you know?

Like the Batcave.

I've never been here with anyone before.

Except Eddie.

I was up here one time just thinking about college and whether I was going to

pursue a career in music or not.

I turned around and he was just standing right there.

It's amazing.

He said that this was his secret spot.

And I told him he was wrong because it was my secret spot.

And then we decided we could share it.

That's when I started realizing we were becoming friends.

I know that it's just too soon to think this way right now, but one day you're

going to be so grateful for the time you two had together.

Everything was so perfect.

The way we found each other, the way we worked together, the way we loved each

other.

How could we have had it all and just get it taken away in an instant?

So unfair.

Bill, I never got to tell him.

What?

Just how much I really loved him.

So sorry.

Oh, hi, Kelly. Come on in.

Lauren's still at school.

I'm worried about her.

She must be...

Out of her mind with grief.

Oh, this is the hardest thing she's ever been through.

So then why did she go to school today?

She figured it would keep her mind off things. I tried to convince her not to,

but she wouldn't be convinced.

Poor kid.

Seems like she always needs work to focus on, no matter what.

Yeah, that's what makes her a good student.

I wonder if maybe having her focus on the music might help her get through

this right now. Who knows? I mean, I think she's in a little bit of denial

right now, so only time will really tell how she'll cope.

So you don't have any idea of when she's planning to get back to the studio?

No.

No, Kelly, I don't know when she's planning to go back to the studio.

I'm pretty sure it's not at the top of her list right now.

You know, I'm just asking because I care about her and I want to do what makes

her happiest, and if I can help with that, then the better.

Well, if you want to help, then leave her alone.

Okay.

What the hell?

Ever since you were 12 years old, you'd never leave the house without your

makeup.

I tried to stop you, but you always said you never know when you're going to get

discovered.

You haven't been present.

So I'm just giving you a few of your favorite products.

But you have to promise me you're going to wake up real soon, Cindy.

And then...

I'm going to take you to a very special place where you can heal.

And we're going to get the cutest little houseboat.

And then you're going to forget every miserable moment you've spent in

this toxic town.

There.

Now you smell as pretty as you look.

I'll be right back, sugar pie.

I have something I gotta go do so that when you wake up and you're ready to get

out of this horrible place, we'll be ready.

Okay?

You know, I promise that I'm not trying to exploit your daughter.

Okay, it's pretty clear that your priority is her career, even now.

No, my priority is what's best for her. And, you know, I'm sure that Eddie

wouldn't want this tragedy to derail her plans.

Okay, look, I know that Lauren has a lot at stake, but I think that she might

need to put music on hold. I mean, her emotional well-being is what's really

important right now. I totally agree.

I'm just here to keep her mindful of the big picture.

Kelly, Lauren is hurting.

Okay? You need to give her some space and just let her come to you.

It's okay, Mom.

Really.

Hi.

Hi, Lauren.

Hi, Kelly.

I've made a decision.

Okay, what is it?

I'm going to go through with the recording.

It's what Eddie would have wanted.

Are you sure, sweetie? You don't have to jump into this. Yeah, no, I'm sure, Mom.

I want to record the album, and I want it dedicated to Eddie.

Hey. Hey.

What took you so long?

There was an accident on Maple and the road was closed.

Did you get everything you needed?

I think so.

Any change?
