[Jenn] Previously
� on Lincoln Heights:

- [screams]
� - Where are you
� two kids going?

You better get out of here
� or I'm gonna call the police.

- Shut up, bitch!
� - [screams]

- You're dead.
� - [Cassie] The earthquake hit,
� he got pinned to the floor.

Lift this thing
� off of me.

We're not helping him.
� We leave him where he is.

- He's going to jail.
� - Maybe he'll get off.

- If you won't help me,
� I'll do it myself.
� - No need to.

Is he dead?
� This is our fault.

We killed him.

- He was mad at Charles.
� They argued?
� - Yes.

- You two didn't fight
� about anything?
� - No, sir.

- All I told him is
� you argued over the money.
� - You told him we argued?

- I don't think you have
� anything to worry about.
� - Our stories don't match.

- Tay, Nate Ray's our brother.
� - Heard Dad talking to him.

- So, what do you think?
� - It sucks.

I know you're feelin'
� all big brotherly,

but I can take care of me
� and my family.

Nothing's changed
� since you got here
� except you're in my way.

I need my space.

Charles, I left my
� sketchbook in the attic.

Can you go run and get it?

[sighs]
� I'm scared, Charles.

It's gonna be OK,
� Cassie.

If the police had anything
� they'd have taken us
� downtown last night

when they came
� to your house, right?

I guess. But I still
� feel sick to my stomach.

[grunts]
� Look on the bright side.

At least we get to skip
� first period.

Hey, I love you.

I love you, too.

[Jenn] Lizzie!

Lizzie, breakfast.

Hey, baby.

Hey, champ, I like
� that Solomon Burke CD
� you played this morning.

- Very Otis Redding.
� - It wasn't my CD.

It was mine.
� Glad you liked it, Dad.

- Morning, all.
� - [Jenn] Morning.

I'm taking my partner
� to that taco stand
� for lunch,

- the one you showed me?
� - Have a chicken taco
� for me.

See you on campus.

Good luck with Cassie.
� I'm sure it'll be OK,
� all right?

Should I come
� with you and Cassie?

Let's not get too
� worked up about it

- until we hear
� what they have to say.
� - Lizzie!

Where is that girl?

Where are you going?
� You haven't even
� finished eating.

- I'm not hungry.
� - Hey, Tay.

You and Nate Ray
� have to be so buddy-buddy?

At least in front of Tay?

I'm not blind
� to the problem, Jenn,

but the fact is Nate Ray's
� his brother and he's
� gonna have to accept him.

All I know is you gain one son
� but you're losing another.

All right, look,
� Tay's birthday is Wednesday.

I'll cook up
� a special dinner for him,

make a big deal out of it,
� all the trimmings.

- My present to Tay.
� - Eddie, your cooking
� is not a gift.

Well, I'm gonna cook
� and he's gonna love it.

What's your problem?

If it doesn't involve the
� police, then get over it.

I hate high school.

It's like
� everybody's an alien.

Or maybe I am.

Look, you'll
� make friends, Lizzie.

You just have
� to find people that like
� the same things you do.

I'm trying. OK, so today,
� when we sign up for clubs,

I'm gonna start a teen group
� to work in our community garden.

- This is really lame,
� isn't it?
� - No.

I bet lots of kids
� will sign up.

You two stated Mac Stimpson
� died as the result
� of the earthquake.

Death by refrigerator
� usually raises
� a few eyebrows,

but given the circumstances
� we weren't too concerned.

- So why are you
� pursuing this?
� - I'm coming to that.

We looked closer at this
� because of the bad blood

between Charles
� and Mr. Stimpson.

Just being thorough.
� Routine, really.

But then you kids told us
� two very different stories.

Charles, you said
� you and your stepfather
� didn't fight.

Ms. Sutton, you stated
� quite clearly
� that they did.

I meant that we didn't have
� a physical fight.

- It's just...
� It's a misunderstanding.
� - Don't get in deeper, son.

Just be quiet and listen.

Coroner's report,
� which we dug out

after your statements
� didn't match.

Is there a problem?

Romeo and Juliet here
� swore Stimpson was crushed.

The coroner's report
� lists cause of death

as "knife wound
� to the lower abdomen."

I'd say
� that's a problem.

[woman] �� The city
� never sleeps ��

�� You got to live
� to your own beat ��

�� So easy come
� and easy go ��

�� What is home? ��

[chorus vocalizing]

�� Home ����

[Cassie] We didn't
� stab him, I swear.

If you didn't
� stab him, who did?

- We have no idea.
� - That's kind of
� hard to believe, son.

Ms. Sutton, it seems
� unlikely you could've
� taken on a man that size.

- But your boyfriend here...
� - Charles didn't do anything.

- Can't we take a lie detector
� test or something?
� - Not in my world, no.

Are you charging them,
� detective?

They're the last people
� to see Stimpson alive.

They changed their stories.
� Neither version
� matches the facts.

[sighs]
� But at this point,

I don't have anything
� to charge them with.

- Then this interview is over.
� - You're not helping
� them, officer.

I'm not here as an officer.

I'm here as her father
� and his guardian

until his mother
� gets back into town.

So unless you have
� anything more...

Get to school.

I can read Cassie like a book,

and she said she had no idea
� about the knife wound.

What about the boy?
� She's gotta be
� covering for him.

- She swears she's not.
� - And of course teenagers
� never lie to their parents.

Come on, Kersey.

They're good kids
� and Mac Stimpson was scum.

If character was the criterion,
� we'd ignore half the
� murders in this city.

I won't do more
� than I have to.

[door opens]

- Eddie.
� - Dana.

Uh, Nate Ray's on patrol.

- I came to see you.
� - Um...

Look, I'm really sorry
� to bother you at work

but the restaurant
� laid me off
� a couple of weeks ago.

- Sorry.
� - Business is off,

so last hire, first fire.
� You know how that goes.

I wasn't making a lot
� to begin with,

- but now I can't even
� pay the basics.
� - Dana, I...

I can't lend you any money.
� We're up against it as it is...

Eddie, I'm not
� asking you for money.

- Don't even think that.
� - Sorry.

Anyway, I got Nate Ray
� looking for work for me,

but he doesn't know
� this town like you do.

So, if you hear of anything,
� I mean, anything at all...

[sighs]

Eddie, please.

- I'll ask Jenn if they can
� use someone at the clinic.
� - Oh, thank you.

- I'll call you tonight.
� - I appreciate it.

[music playing]

[girls laughing]

- I heard she broke up
� with her boyfriend...
� - Me too. I heard.

Wow. You are a desert island
� in a sea of popularity.

Sage, I thought you were
� with your dad in Florida
� or something.

Oh, uh, my mom moved back
� so I can finish my senior year.

Can't waste the perks
� of being prom queen.

Nothing you need
� to worry about.

Charles, the knife wound
� changes everything.

We have to tell them
� Mac attacked you.

Easy for you to say.
� They're not after you.

- They questioned both of us.
� - Weren't you listening?
� They think I killed Mac.

But if we explain that Mac
� was holding a knife and stabbed
� himself when the earthquake...

Do you have any idea
� how that sounds?

"We didn't kill Mac,
� Detective Kersey.
� He stabbed himself to death."

"Happens all the time, Charles.
� Case closed. You two can go."

- You know what?
� I don't need this.
� - Cassie, wait.

I'm sorry.

Every time we change our story,
� the cops get more suspicious.

- Do you understand?
� - Yes.

But I don't understand you.

[chattering, indistinct]

Yes, I just gotta
� head over there.

Eddie told you
� to come see me?

He thought
� you might have work.

Sure looks like you
� could use the help.

It only looks like that
� because we're short-handed.

I had to cut staff hours.

We don't have any open slots.

Jenn, I've been everywhere.
� Nobody has work.

[speaking Spanish]

Look, I know I don't
� have the right to
� ask you for anything,

and I'm so grateful
� for how good you've
� been to Nate Ray.

- Dana, what do you
� expect from me?
� - Nothing I wouldn't earn.

- I'm sure it's hard.
� - Well, then, how about
� giving me a break?

If you got one to give.

You must be a freak.

- I'm a freak?
� - Oh, hey,
� it's a compliment.

All of them...

...they're all... clones.

You're like me, you know.
� Unique.

What makes you
� think that?

Um... [chuckles]

Need I say more?

It's OK, though.
� I love gardens.

They're very... Zen.

- Sylvia Torres.
� - Lizzie Sutton.
� I'm a freshman.

Yeah. You have that look.

He's cute. Don't be shy,
� you should talk to him.

Uh, no, I can't do that.
� So where do I sign up?

Uh, don't you want to know
� what the Gardening Club
� does first?

As long as it doesn't
� involve a car wash, I'm in.

Oh. OK.

And, uh, you can
� fill me in later.

Hi. You're Lizzie Sutton,
� Cassie's sister, right?

Yeah. Cassie's cool.
� We're in English together.

- She's cool unless you
� have to live with her.
� - [chuckling]

- I'm Marta. This is
� Angie and Callie.
� - [both] Hi.

Hi. Oh, did you guys
� want to sign up
� for the Gardening Club?

It's really
� more interesting
� than it sounds.

We're gonna work a plot
� where a crack house
� used to be.

Oh. Well, actually,
� we came to see

if you wanted to join
� the Community Care Club.
� Triple C.

Really?

- I'm a freshman.
� - We take freshmen.

Oh.

Uh, well, you know,
� I really want to do
� this community garden...

Oh, well, you can
� do that through our club.
� We're into service, too.

Come on. Triple C looks
� great on the college app.

Um... OK.

- Come on.
� - Great!

So, Lizzie, we saw you
� talking to Sage

and since you two
� seem to be tight, we just
� thought you could help.

Dude sounds cool.
� Army Ranger, war hero.

Wish I had a kick-ass
� big brother.

I'd sic him on those dudes
� who hassle me on the corner.

You're missing the point,
� Malik. My dad likes him
� more than me.

You got game.
� Your music, man.

- Impress your dad.
� - He doesn't even like
� my music.

That's him.

I don't know.
� Why is he giving
� some guy pills?

[Malik] I don't think
� he's giving him pills, Tay.

I think he's selling them.

Your big brother's
� a dealer.

[dog barking in distance]

You really think Nate Ray's
� pushing drugs? He's a cop.

Wow, a crooked cop.
� That'll be a first.

You want your dad to see
� the real Nate Ray?

You drop a hammer
� on him, bust his ass.

Yeah. If I did that,

maybe Dad would kick him
� to the curb, right?

Won't be no more
� favorite son stuff,
� that's for sure.

What are you doing,
� hanging around with
� the bitcheratti?

[Lizzie] You don't like
� anybody, Sage.

But they're nice to me and
� their club does good things.

- Yeah? Name one.
� - Well, they raised money
� to reopen the language lab.

We're getting our picture taken
� at the ribbon cutting
� for the school paper,

and they were hoping
� you'd pose with us.

- [scoffs] Mm-mmm.
� - [groans] Come on, Sage.

Ever since you won
� prom queen, everybody
� wants to be seen with you.

[door bells jingle]

Oh, I get it.

I hold your entire
� high school career
� in my hands.

No. They just said
� if I could get you to come
� they'd appreciate it.

Can't you just stand with us
� for, like, two minutes?

I'd owe you a big favor.

Yeah, you would,
� wouldn't you?

- OK.
� - Thanks.
� I won't forget this.

Yeah, and believe me
� I won't let you.

I know what they're thinking.

It's classic. Stepson
� kills abusive stepfather.

I was looking on the computer,

and I found this thing
� called negligent homicide.

Have you heard of it?
� I'll bet that's what
� they'll charge me with.

It's like murder.
� I could go to jail for years.

God!
� These lockers are crap.

- Did you even hear a word
� that I just said?
� - Yes, Charles, I heard you!

Would you please
� stop talking about it?

Are you OK?

Don't you wish you were
� in ninth grade again?

Lizzie's biggest problem
� is what club to join.

That was never me,
� Cassie.

It's hard to imagine
� what it was like
� for you back then.

It's the same
� as it's always been.

Today when we were
� at the precinct you had your
� dad right there beside you.

I've never even met
� my real dad.

- I'm out here all by myself.
� - My dad was there
� for you, too, Charles.

Come on, Cassie.
� If he had to make a choice,

he would sell me out
� in a heartbeat.

Him, those cops, they all
� look at me the same way:

trouble,
� kid with a record.

- We're in this together.
� - That's what you don't get.

If this goes bad,
� I'm going to jail.
� Not you, me.

The only chance that I've got
� is to keep my head down,

my mouth shut, 'cause
� nobody's watching my back.

You don't trust anyone,
� do you?

We're so different,
� Charles.

Jennifer Sutton,

just in time to sample your
� husband's culinary delights.

- What's the matter?
� - [sighs] Dana coming into
� the clinic asking for work.

- She said you sent her.
� - No. I said
� I'd talk to you.

She jumped the gun.
� You know how she can be.

Yeah, I do, Eddie.
� And so do you.

And the word "clinic"
� should not have
� come out of your mouth.

My bad. But at least
� she knows we tried.

- Look, I'm sorry
� you had to get rid of her.
� - I didn't. That's the problem.

- I gave her a job.
� - You did?

- Doing what?
� - [sighs]

Cleaning bathrooms,
� exam rooms, mopping up blood.

- And worse.
� - What's the problem?

You got some help
� and she got a job.

I don't want her around,
� Eddie.

And I don't want her
� owing us.

It just... It just makes her
� more a part of our lives.

Hey, Tay.

You want a taste?
� It's for your dinner
� tomorrow.

I got something
� to tell you guys.

Malik can back me up.
� He saw the whole thing.

Is it true?

No. I gave a friend
� my leftover pain pills
� from the quake.

It's dangerous
� handing out prescription
� drugs to just anyone.

He's not just anyone.
� He's Staff Sergeant
� Marshall Stanfield.

- You were in Iraq with him?
� - He was my sarge.

Got shot up in a raid,
� lost his spleen and his kidney.

Man's in constant pain,
� got no money to pay for meds.

Why isn't the Army
� taking care of him?

He was discharged
� three weeks ago.

His paperwork got lost.
� Army says he's
� the VA's problem.

VA says they never
� heard of him.

I gave him pain pills.

That's your big
� drug deal.

Send him to the clinic.
� I'll make sure
� he's taken care of

- until the VA takes him in.
� - Thanks.

He's a good guy,
� just fell on hard times
� like a lot of vets.

You're just
� taking his word for it?

- Tay.
� - Dad, if it was me you'd be
� "Tay, we gotta check it out."

He mentions Iraq
� and you fall for it.

I am sick and tired
� of your mouth.
� It never stops running.

And the worst part is
� you're a coward.

A man would've come to me
� face to face and asked me
� about the pills.

I got no respect for that.

I got no respect
� for you.

Like I care!

Was that really
� necessary?

- He's only 14 years old.
� - Tay forced the issue, Jenn.

This has been coming
� for a while.

Tay did what
� we taught him to do, Eddie.

He saw what he thought
� was a crime and reported it.

Well, maybe you should've
� taught him about
� brotherly love instead.

[Charles] "Detective Kersey,
� I'm writing to tell you

that Cassie had nothing
� to do with Mac's death.

Please leave her alone.

I'm leaving town because
� you'll never believe
� the truth.

Mac fell on his own knife
� when the quake hit.

That's what happened.

Sincerely,
� Charles Antoni."

- Where's Tay?
� - Left for school.

It's his birthday, and
� he just blows out of here.

He feels betrayed, Eddie.
� You took Nate Ray's side.

Do you know how serious
� a drug charge is?

Even if he's cleared
� he's still got a taint.

He's young, Eddie.
� Tay doesn't understand.

Jenn, if he was 10
� I'd buy that.

[groans] You...

You just don't see it,
� do you?

Tay is not trying
� to hurt Nate Ray.
� He wants his father back.

He wants you to choose him
� over Nate Ray.

Tay's my son and I love him
� with all my heart,

and if I had to choose
� between him and Nate Ray,
� it...

- Doesn't he get that?
� - Talk to him, Eddie.

- I've tried...
� - I know, and this dinner
� is a great gesture,

but in the end,
� it's just a dinner.

Charles, this is, like,
� the hundredth message
� I've left you

since last night.
� Could you please call?

Look, I told you I was
� sorry for yelling at you.

Look, I'm scared
� and I'm really worried.

We need to be
� together right now,
� that's all that matters.

Please call me.
� I'm going crazy here.

[voicemail computer]
� End of message. To delete
� this message, press 7.

Ladies, ladies?
� Can we, uh, can we gather
� in front of the ribbon here?

Excellent.

OK, and I am
� on a deadline here.

So, all right.

Hey! Thanks
� for coming, Sage.

Sage, I didn't realize
� you were in Triple C.

Please. In front,
� for you, girl.

Uh, I get to cut
� the ribbon, right?

You? I'm president,
� and you didn't
� raise the money.

Yeah, but if I don't cut it,
� what's the point
� of me being here?

Hey, um, Sylvia,
� I've been looking
� for you.

So, the Gardening Club
� is history,

but if you join Triple C,
� we can work the garden.

You're with them?

[scoffs]

Hey! Leave her alone,
� you psycho!

I didn't even do anything.

Don't worry.
� We got your back, Lizzie.

OK, everyone say
� "Robeson Wildcats" on three.

One... two... three.

[all] Robeson Wildcats.

Forget her, Lizzie.
� Sylvia's got issues.

She's just jealous
� because you're in
� the Community Care Club.

- Maybe I should
� go talk to her.
� - That won't do it.

She's troubled.
� Mean, you know?

Yeah. You can't
� let her bully you.

You've gotta
� hit back hard.

- Like how?
� - Here.

Text her this.

- [beep]
� - She'll never
� bother you again.

Are you sure?

- Who is this?
� - Just a guy.
� It'll send a message:

Lizzie Sutton
� takes no prisoners.

[beep]

Excellent.
� Sylvia problem solved
� with the push of a button.

- [sizzling]
� - Cassie?

Dad, Charles didn't
� come to school today.

- He just disappeared
� and it's not like him.
� - Yeah, I heard.

What do you mean
� "you heard"?

Detective Kersey had
� some more questions for him

but apparently he left town
� or nobody can find him.

Oh, God, I hope
� he's all right.

Look, you want to help him,
� get him back here.

He's making this thing
� a whole lot worse.

And, Cassie,
� if he has run off,

this should tell you
� all you need to know
� about him.

- Charles went missing?
� - Yeah.

You think he has
� something to do
� with Stimpson's death?

No, he's just a troubled kid,

but I'd like to wring
� his neck for getting
� Cassie mixed up in this.

[exhales] You got trouble
� every which way, Dad.

Cassie, Tay and me.

Uh, that's the least
� of my worries.

But I wouldn't trade
� any amount of trouble
� for having found you.

Me neither.

- She bought a dress
� and everything.
� - Serious?

Oh, whoa.

Hey. [chuckles]

- So, I, um...
� - Your text is about
� to bear fruit.

Um... I miss you, too.

- What are you talking about?
� - I thought you told
� Lizzie that you miss me.

I don't know anyone
� named Lizzie.

Um... I just got
� a text message that...

No, you're hallucinating.

Maybe you should get back
� on those meds again.

I told you, it's over.

You know what? You were
� really boring in bed.

[gasps and giggles]

How could you do that
� to me?

[Angie] Aww. [laughs]

- You think this is funny?
� - Consider this your initiation
� to the Community Care Club.

Consider this my resignation
� from the Couldn't
� Care Less Club.

[girl] What?!

Whatever.

[bells over door jingle]

- [rock music playing]
� - Coffee, please?

You on the road?

Me too.

Shooting wildflowers.

Desert's great
� this time of year.

Yeah, there's lots of
� desert marigold.

I'm impressed.

Not a lot of guys
� know wildflowers.

They always
� give you roses.

Yeah, that's what my mom
� always said. She likes 'em
� wild and handpicked.

Me too.

- I'm Amy.
� - Charles.

Best time's early morning
� if you want a tour.

I'm staying
� at the Starlight.

It's the only motel
� in town, can't miss it.

Thanks, but I think
� I'm moving on.

You in that big a hurry?

Kind of, yeah.

I hope you find
� what you're looking for.

[bells over door jingle]

[�� The Boxer Rebellion:
� Soviets]

�� Heading westwards
� towards the sun ��

Charles, where are you
� going? You can't leave me.

Not now.

�� And the rest will disagree ��

[sobs]

�� Your innocence
� can sway easily ��

You have a good life.

�� Oh, I can tell ��

�� Your words so well ��

�� And all I can see ��

Cassie, forget the others!
� We gotta get out of here!

- Cassie!
� - [boy] Get off me, man!

- Charles!
� - Cassie!

- [man] Get back.
� - Let go of me!

�� I'm sorry, sorry ��

Cassie!

Nothing is going
� to separate us again.

- You promise?
� - I swear.

�� Oh, I can tell ��

I... Cassie Sutton,

pledge my eternal friendship
� to Charles Antoni.

�� Oh, I can see ��

I, Charles Antoni,

pledge
� eternal friendship

to Cassie Sutton.

�� I'm sorry, sorry ����

- Charles!
� - What are you
� doing here?

Waiting for you.

I was gonna leave.
� I just...

[sighs] I couldn't do it.

I knew you'd come back.

Yeah? How?

Something my dad said
� made me sure.

- Your dad was on my side?
� - No.

He said you running away

should tell me everything
� I needed to know about you.

And I realized I already knew
� everything I needed to know.

So I came here.

Give me that.
� Your cheeks look like
� they're about to explode.

[chuckles] Nice of you
� to help, Nate.

Hey, it's the least I could do
� after Jenn hired my mom.

I know the clinic
� doesn't have any money.

Oh, we had to shut down
� so many services.

A girl came in today
� who used to see
� our teen counselor.

Sad little thing.

- What'd she say?
� - It's confidential,

but some girls
� were really mean to her.

It's amazing how cruel
� some people can be.

- [door closes]
� - Well, if it isn't
� the birthday boy.

- [laughs]
� - Sorry we couldn't hide
� all the party favors.

That's OK.
� Everything looks cool.

- [doorbell rings]
� - [Jenn] Happy birthday.

Oh. I'll get it.

Your father home?

- What are you doing here?
� - We have a warrant to search
� your daughter's room,

the kitchen,
� and the garage.

Is this really necessary?

The boy running off gave us
� more cause for suspicion.
� The judge agreed.

We'll start
� in the garage.

Want to show us the way?

[softly] Yeah.

[line ringing]

Charles, the police are
� here to search my room.

- They must be coming
� to your house, too.
� - They're already here.

[groans] What are they
� searching for?

Who knows?

- I'll talk to you later, OK?
� - OK.

Take this, please?

What, does this
� have something to do
� with those cop cars?

I'll explain later.
� Just don't look inside, OK?

Promise me?

Yeah, OK.

OK, I won't look.

[dispatch on radio,
� indistinct]

- Charles Antoni?
� - Yeah?

I have a warrant
� to search the premises.

Open the door.

Take the bedroom.

Start with the bookshelf.

[Charles] What are you guys
� looking for?

That's just
� my school stuff.

[Eddie clears throat]

[clears throat]

Anything here?

All right. Nothing
� downstairs either.

[sighs]

Sorry, Sutton,
� I had no choice.

- I hope this is the end of it.
� - This means you're
� closing the case?

If we don't turn up anything
� at the boy's residence,

yeah, it's over.

- What else can happen?
� - Let's just have
� a nice dinner together.

Look what
� Charles brought me.

To celebrate our freedom.

You want to stay
� for dinner, Charles?

If it's OK, Mr. Sutton.

I guess, sure.

[doorbell rings]

I'll get it.

Now, because Tay
� likes Italian

and it's the only thing
� I know how to cook...

It actually looks
� pretty good, Dad.

Don't give your father
� a hard time. He slaved
� over a hot stove all day.

And cut my finger
� chopping onions.

Oh, I'm sorry.
� I didn't know
� you guys were eating.

But Jenn had mentioned
� it was Tay's birthday,

- so, Tay,
� I got you a present.
� - [Tay] Thanks.

Come on, Mom. I'll get
� another chair. Sit down.

- Oh, no, no...
� - Oh, no, no, Dana.
� There's plenty.

- Lizzie, set a place
� for her, please.
� - Yeah.

Nobody asked me.

Dana, can I talk to you
� for a second?

Yeah.

Looks great, Mr. Sutton.

It's, uh, it's
� my Godfather recipe.

Like in the movie.
� They say, uh, sugar
� is the secret.

Thanks.

Dana, um...
� this is awkward.

It was nice of you
� to bring Tay a present...

- But I'm not
� welcome for dinner.
� - It's Tay's party.

Don't blame this on Tay.
� You don't want me here
� any more than he does.

I don't want to get
� into this right now.

I'm just protecting my family,
� just like you would
� protect yours.

Yeah, well,
� it's not that simple.

See, my son is a part
� of your family,

and whether
� you like it or not,
� I'm in your life.

[softly] Maybe you are.

But not tonight.

Dana decided not to stay.

You mean,
� you asked her to leave.

- You did?
� - Eddie, she's fine with it.

- I told her it was
� a family gathering.
� - What about Charles?

- What about you?
� - [Eddie] Tay.
� Knock it off.

Jenn, you shouldn't have
� asked her to leave.

You shouldn't have
� asked her to stay.

- Listen, if it makes
� things easier, I can...
� - Charles, no.

Eddie, fine,
� I'll go get her.

Oh, Jenn, come on!

That's not necessary.

How come you had to come here
� and wreck everything?

I'm out of here.

So, should we sing
� Happy Birthday?

Why can't you guys sleep?
� It was my birthday
� that got trashed.

[sniffles]

I ruined
� a girl's life today.

What's your problem?
� They closed the case.

I have something
� to tell you guys.

Charles and I
� let Mac die.

He was under there, and we
� just stood there watching.

Can't you go to jail
� for that?

No. I don't think so.

But what I did
� was really bad.

Yeah, but he was...
� he was a bad guy.

He would've hurt you
� if I hadn't nailed him
� at the prom.

Cassie, I'd say it's even.

Tay, it still
� doesn't make it right.

Cassie, nobody
� would blame you.

It's OK, really.

Have some cake.

It's pretty good
� for sugar-free.

So, who's this girl?

[sighs]

You weren't in class
� and I got worried.

I was looking
� all over for you.

Now you found me.

Look, I'm really sorry
� about what happened.

It was mean. I let them
� talk me into it,

and I should've known better.

What do you want?

Will you tell me about Dan?

- Why?
� - Because I hurt you
� and I want to understand.

Please?

What they didn't tell you

was that Dan
� was Marta's boyfriend

before he dumped her
� to go out with me.

He's the, uh...

He's the only guy
� I ever loved.

Or slept with.
� [chuckles]

Didn't last.

At least not for him.

And, um, after we broke up
� I couldn't get out of bed.

And I ended up
� in the hospital.

You must have
� really loved him.

It's not just that.
� Um...

I sexted Dan
� a picture of myself.

And after we split,
� those bitches stole it
� off his phone

and sent it to the world.

That's awful.

Do you think we could
� ever get past this?

I don't know.

Hey.

Did you quit
� that club of theirs?

Yeah.

Good.

[keyboard clacking]

[sighing]

Are we ever gonna put
� this Dana thing behind us?

I'm not thinking about
� Dana right now, Eddie.

I'm thinking about
� our family.

Yeah? Me too.
� You should've
� just let Dana stay.

Eddie, your ex-girlfriend
� barges in here...

Jenn, she's Nate Ray's mother
� and came to deliver a present.

Now, you know,
� Tay feels your anger.

And I'm not saying
� he wouldn't have acted out
� anyway, but...

Look...

If you want this
� to get better,

you're gonna have to accept
� my son and his mother

and help Tay understand
� that he's gonna have
� to accept them too.

Well, that's easy
� for you to say, Eddie.

You're not the one on
� the outside looking in.

You're not on the outside
� of anything.
� You're my wife.

When you're with Dana,
� I'm the other woman.

Tay and I are exactly
� in the same place.

I get his anger,
� I feel it too.

So, then, what can I do?

Just let me
� find my own way.

Don't ask more than
� I can give. [sighs]

And for Tay, too.
� You know, this is all
� pretty new, Eddie.

It's gonna
� take some time.

Hey.

Don't even think about
� sitting near us, Lizzie.

We're gonna make
� your life hell, girl.

Excuse me. I believe
� in helping people,

but I'm not nonviolent.

[scoffs] OK.

Hey.

You see that sign?

Get out. Now.

And if I ever hear you
� giving Lizzie grief

I'm gonna make your
� lives a living hell.

No problem. This place
� wasn't up to our standards.

She was never even
� one of us anyways.

Thanks, Sage.

Yeah, well,
� when I first got here

they wouldn't let me
� join their stupid club,

and I have been waiting
� three years to get even.

How did it go with Cassie?

I told her I looked
� at Mac's autopsy report

and that knife
� severed a major artery.

He would've died
� no matter what they did.

Maybe she can put
� this thing behind her.

I just wish I knew
� if it was true.

- I have not seen these
� in 20 years.
� - [laughs]

Thought I'd show it
� to Tay.

- I bet he'd like that.
� - I hope so.

Well, in the meantime,
� play something for me.

[music starts]

�� I was walking through
� the hills of Runyon Canyon ��

�� When suddenly
� a ghost appeared ��

�� And she said,
� "Man, you've got
� rough times comin' ��

�� Comin' on down the road" ��

�� But what else can I do?
� I keep on pushing through ��

�� To the simple life ��

�� Let it roll over me ��

- �� Roll it over me ��
� - �� The simple life ��

�� Let it roll over me
� Roll it over me ��

Make a wish.
