Yeah, Maxie did the decorating. But it was

your idea. Well, I wanted it to be special

for the boys. I mean, you're usually here

to decorate the house and make it look

great. Can't believe I've been gone since

the night of the boat cruise.

Thank you for bringing me home to heal

with my family. I guess

I should go tell that babysitter that she

can leave. Okay.

Lucky, will you stay with

me tonight?

Sure. Yeah,

I can sleep with the boys.

Cam and Aiden are both fast asleep.

I can't wait to surprise him in the

morning. Yeah. Oh,

breakfast tip. Cam is suddenly into

oatmeal. Oatmeal? Yeah. Pancakes. Yeah,

go figure. Also, he's been trying to wear

the same red shirt every single day, so

you might want to cut him off at the pass.

Thanks for taking care of them. Yeah, I

mean, it was great for me. You know, what

you missed was Cameron's soccer team's

father and son dinner. I know,

I know. Cam said that, you know, he was

okay with it. I guess a lot of other

fathers couldn't make it. Yeah, it's no

big deal. There's gonna be plenty of

dinners in the future.

Hey, you know what we should do this

weekend is go to the carousel. I know.

They deck it all out for the holidays.

Elizabeth, I brought you home from Shady

Brook so you could have Christmas. You

know, I thought it would be good for you

and the family. Of course,

but. No, no, no. I know all the

buts. We have hurt each other. We have

said and done things that we can't take

back. But Christmas is about family. And

we're here together with our boys. It

feels right. Isn't that what we

want? Oh, Cam gave me

his Christmas list. Wanna check it out?

Yeah. Can you guess? Half the things on

this list are impossible to assemble. Go

ahead. What? No, go ahead. I know you want

to boast about the tricycle like you do

every year. Be my guest. Come on. I don't

have to remind you how you put the

handlebars behind the seat and I had to

rush in to assemble it properly in about

10 minutes. Vlad. Yeah. Cam had to go

riding immediately. Couldn't wait. Take

him around that block. Oh. Over and over.

Freezing cold. Do you remember our first

Christmas together? How I gave you that

oil painting? That was the first painting

I've ever done. Yeah. Yeah, I remember

that. And this is the first Christmas

knowing your Aiden's dad.

We have a lot to be thankful for, don't

we? I want to make this Christmas special

for all of us.

Well, it wouldn't really be Christmas

without presents under the tree, but you

know that toy store at the mall? I think

it's open till midnight, something like

that. So I was thinking heading over. You

going to be okay by yourself? Yeah. Yeah,

I'll be fine. Okay, thanks.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you for bringing me

home. Yeah. I'll be back

soon. Okay.

Come in.

Don't you look happy. Well, my house looks

beautiful and I know I have you to thank.

Yep. Knocked myself out trying to do

something nice. That's very sweet of you,

considering I'm not your favorite person.

Actually, your bottom of the barrel. You

know, that black slime that's toxic and

disgusting? That's you. Excuse me? How

could you do what you did to Lucky? What

are you talking about? Don't play your

whole innocent act with me, Elizabeth.

Okay? You know, the funny thing is I was

actually rooting for you guys to reconnect

and do the whole family thing. We're

trying. He won't. I mean, of course you're

gonna manipulate. Of course you're gonna

do the whole victim act and lie. That's

your main event. I mean, you make me look

like an amateur. How dare you come into my

house and judge me. I don't even care. Do

you? I mean, Lucky has tried so hard

to stay clean, and one setback in his life

could lead to a relapse. But it's all

about you, as usual. Okay, that's enough.

You know what? You need to go. No. You

don't have a right to play on his love for

his children. I would never do that. You

knew his history. You knew his mother's

history, but did you give a damn? No. You

just checked yourself in the shady brook

because you knew that he would come riding

back in on his white horse to save poor,

fragile Elizabeth yet again. Well,

congratulations. You finally found a way

to keep Lucky around. Too bad you had to

fake a breakdown to do it.

I don't know what you heard, but, you

know, don't try to dump this on me, okay?

I know we've had our problems, but when

you start inventing, you're the

manipulator, not me. Stop, Lucky, I'm

trying to protect you. I mean, this

woman's a parasite. Takes the labor right

out of you.

Leave, please.

All yours.

Did you get what you needed?

Is that true? You can't believe what Maxie

says.

Elizabeth, what on earth were you

thinking? She's vindictive and petty and

she's jealous of my friendship with Matt.

Did you seriously think that you could

just play me. I wasn't playing you.

You know, I actually felt guilty for even

suggesting that you would pretend to be

sick. I checked myself in a shady.

Because the thought of losing you hurts so

much. Okay, first, just admit that you

were lying. Okay,

I admit that I took advantage of the

situation, but I didn't know what else to

do. Here's a novel idea. How about

tell the truth? The truth? You want to

start talking about the truth? You're not

even being honest with yourself or how you

feel. I am sorry I did it,

but you weren't listening to me. I can't

stand the thought of losing you again.

We are a family. We need you. This is not

about the family or the boys. This is

about us. I made terrible mistakes, and I

know I've hurt you.

Forgive me, Lucky.

Please, just forgive me.

We can't do this. I am so sorry.

No, I'm sorry. You're not the

only one who's been pretending here.

I was trying to convince myself that I

could do this. I could be a good family

man if I just refocused my family. You

can't, because we love each other and we

always have. What the hell kind of love is

it that makes us lie? The kind of love

that never gives up.

Elizabeth, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm sorry that I wavered. I'm sorry I made

you believe that we have a chance because

we don't. It's over. No, no, no, please.

Please don't. Don't say that. Lucky, I

have to get out of here. I have to get

away from this house. It's not the house

you're running from. This whole thing was

a mistake. Where are you gonna go? What

are you gonna do? What about me and the

boys? I'll come back tomorrow and I'll

tell the boys everything, okay? I have to

go. No, don't.

Lucky. Lucky,

look at me. Look at me.

Do you know what you're doing?

Please. Please don't run away

from me. Please.

Paula's mess bleed

there's no chance it can be mended

But I would choose to lay

here BR1 goodbye we

were never meant to make it past.
