  Like yesterday, Gwyn's in the park and thinks she sees Trisha. She goes 
after her but whoever it was got in a car and left. Gwyn stepped on a 
room key from "Sleepy Hollow Cabins".

Angie is upset and Jacob is concerned. She wants to be left alone. He 
starts to leave and she says she feels she's out of control. She says she 
wants out and he puts his arms around her.

Bree and Charles are in the park because he wants to talk to her. He 
wants to explain a few things about himself that might change the way she 
feels.

Ava and Kate are folding clothes. Kate's glad Ava's home. Ava's glad she 
can keep an eye on her mother. Kate thought Alex told Ava about Neal and 
then realizes he didn't. Ava starts to overreact so Kate tells her that 
Neal killed his wife.

opening credits

A: "Neal spent time in prison for killing his wife?"
K: "Well, you see Ava, she had this very serious muscular disease and she 
was in a great deal of pain."
A: "So he murdered her?"
K: "No, of course not. She asked him to."
A: "What are you talking about, mama, she asked him to?"
K: "Well, Ava, just what I said. You know, she didn't have very long to 
live and she was in terrible, terrible pain and she just wanted to die. 
So she asked him to help her. Now, Ava, when are you and Alex going to 
start to fix up this marriage?"
A: "How, mama?"
K: "How?"
A: "How, how did Neal do it?"
K: "Oh in the garage, carbon monoxide."
A: "In the garage, carbon monoxide. IN THE GARAGE, CARBON...! Do you 
realize that's the same way Ally and Gwyn were, were almost killed?"
K: "Well Ava, it is a very common form of suicide. You  see, she just 
wanted to go peacefully. Now, Ava, have you even called Alex?"
A: "Do you realize mama, that's the same way the murderer tried to kill 
Ally and Gwyn?"
K: "Ava, I knew you were going to react this way."
A: "You knew.. How am I suppose to react, mama. I just found out my 
children are living under the same roof as a convicted murderer!"
K: "Ava, what Neal did, he did out of a great deal of compassion. It was 
the hardest thing he ever had to do."
A: "I bet it was!"
K: "Now I don't want you to dare say one word to him about this!"
A: "Like what, mama, so I heard you killed your wife, pass the potatoes?"
K: "Because he has served his time in prison, he wants to put it behind 
him and get on with his life."A: "What about us?"
K: "Well, we should do the same."
A: "Yeah, well, let's hope we have lives to get on with!"

Charles asks if Bree is going to listen to him and she says no. He tells 
her he doesn't want to lose another child. He was engaged and his fiance 
lost the baby girl. Bree asks if he dumped her too. He tells her she was 
killed by a stray bullet in a drive-by shooting. Bree says she's sorry. 
He tells her how he was going to be a good father to the baby and how it 
hurts now knowing he HAD been a father all along.
B: "I told you before, Charles, you weren't a father to me."
C: "Well, maybe not, but I would have given the world to have been one, 
to be one now!"

Gwyn's at the station and interrupts Alex and Tony. Alex thinks she 
shouldn't be there since her close-call the other night. She assures him 
she's fine. She wants to know if there's anything new with the case, 
specifically, Neal Warren. They say they've questioned him. She says he 
frightens her. Tony tells her that Neal was spooked when he saw the photo 
fragments. He thinks Neal has seen the picture before. Tony also tells 
her about Neal being a cook in New Hampshire which was close to where she 
and Clay spent their summers. She wishes she had known about these 
things. Gwyn thinks they should focus on Neal and leave Trisha alone. 
Alex says they're going to be watching him AND other suspects, Trisha 
included.

Angie says she wants a new life.
J: "You want out of what, of your marriage?"
A: "No, I don't know, my life. I want a new life."
J: "You mean that?"
A: "I can't take anymore. I keep walking around pretending like 
everything is fine, but it's not. It's just one thing after another."
J: "It's okay, it's okay!"
A: "No, it's not okay! I just got married. It's not supposed to be like 
this!"
J: "What are you talking about? Lorraine?
A: "That's, that's part of it, yes. I keep telling Charles that I 
understand but I don't understand. I don't understand why Frankie's 
girlfriend is Charles' daughter. Why HE used to be in love with her 
mother. I just feel like, like.."
J: "What?"
A: "I don't know. I wanna scream!"
J: "Well then scream!"
A: "I can't."
J: "Why not?"
A: "Because, I'm supposed to be rational. I'm supposed to be.."
J: "Supposed to be, forget supposed to be! Deal with what it is!"
A: "I'm falling apart, Jacob. Utterly and completely apart!"
J: "Come here."
A: " Where are we going?"
J: "We're going where we're not supposed to be."

Bree doesn't know what to say. Charles tells her to say what she feels. 
She says she's angry, hurt, happy and miserable. He picks up on the happy 
part. He apologizes again and hopes they can build on it. He doesn't 
blame her for hating him. She doesn't know if she can stop hating him. He 
says he's starting to feel like her father and walks away.

Alex tells Tony it seems like Gwyn's protecting Trisha and putting the 
spotlight on Neal. Tony says the "She-Bear" is protecting her "Cub". He 
says Ava is the same way. Alex has his mind elsewhere and says she loves 
him and he loves her. Tony tells him he doesn't realize but he just went 
"coo-coo" on him.

Kate's talking about pies and a bake sale. She gives Ava an order about 
not talking to Neal about his wife and leaves. Ava gets the spare key, a 
stack of fresh towels, and goes upstairs.

Gwyn tells Jill, they need to focus on Neal Warren. Jill reminds her that 
she had said the murderer was a woman because of the gentle nature of the 
crimes. She agrees. There's a phone call from Buck. Gwyn asks where he is.
G: "What? Trisha? Buck are you 100% on this?"

Jacob takes Angie to the supply closet. He tells her to go ahead and 
scream. 
A: "The urge is passed."
J: "The..oh, I see, so now you're fine?"
A: "I think I should just get back to work."
J: "Why do you do that?"
A: "Do what?"
J: "I suppose this little old world would just fall apart if it wasn't 
for you just holding it up here, huh?"
A: "What are you talking about?"
J: "I"m talking how every single little leak you find you gotta patch it 
up right away before anybody sees it!"
A: "Well, I think I had more than a slight little leak back there, I 
would call that a major freak-out."
J: "Yeah well, the doctor's about to run out of band-aids!"
(She goes to the shelf and shows him a box)
A: "Well, it's a good thing we're in the supply closet...Jacob"
(He slaps them out of her hand)
J: "Talk to me! TALK TO ME!"
A: "I think that we just.."
J: "Think.. don't think, FEEL!"
A: "I can't talk about..."
J: "Don't give me that!"
A: "What do you want from me?"
J: "I want everything, all right? From here (he points to her heart), 
I want to know what's going on here!"
A: "Jacob, Jacob, stop it.."
J: "Talk to me! What is it, oh, is that a little anger.."
A: "STOP IT!"
J: "Is that anger, emotion, do I see a little emotion. Talk to me!"
A: "This is not funny, stop it, Jacob, NO!"
(She slaps him away)
J: "Why not talk to me? (he grabs her) Why not talk to me, please, what 
are you afraid of?"
A: "Because... of nothing!"
J: "Nothing, she's afraid  of nothing."
A: "No, I'm not afraid!"
J: "What, what?"
A: "I don't know, I'm afraid I made a mistake."
J: "What?"
A: "I'm afraid I made a mistake!"
He holds her tight!

Bree sits on a park bench, pulls a newspaper out of the basket. It has a 
picture of Charles on the front. She smiles and thinks about what Charles 
said about losing one child and not wanting to lose another. 

Tony's pouring sugar in his coffee. Alex apologizes about jumping down 
his throat. Charles comes in. Alex asks how it went with Bree. Tony 
excuses himself and leaves. Charles says there's still alot of pain 
there. He looks at his phone messages and sees Frankie is in the 
hospital. He leaves to go check it out. Gwyn comes over to tell Alex that 
she just talked to Buck who's in Maine visiting Dyna Lee and Trucker. She 
says Trisha is there, too. Gwyn says Christopher talked to his mommy. 
Alex says he HAS to talk to Trisha. Gwyn says Trisha didn't do it. He 
leaves. Gwyn is holding the key in her hand.
"She's not in Maine. She's right here."

Ava let s herself into Neal's room. She starts snooping around. She finds 
the picture of the two kids in the drawer. She takes it and rushes out.

(Back in the supply closet)
J: "Okay, you made a mistake, good, good, how?"
A: "Two months. I've been married two months."
J: "So you think marrying Charles was a mistake?"
A: "No, I was happy Jacob, I was. You saw me, didn't I seem happy? We had 
everything planned out, we were going to have a great life and then.."
J: "Then?"
A: "It's just that everything has been happening, one thing right after 
another, you know, and now it's Lorraine?"
J: "Ah, ah ha, so that is what this is about!"
A: "No, yes, I mean, I don't know, it's like today. I really needed him, 
Jacob. You know, I REALLY needed him and guess where he was."
J: "Lorraine?"
A: "The thing about it is, I'm not even really jealous. I'm just, I don't 
know.."
J: "Yes, you do!"
A: "I guess I'm Just tired."
J: "With all this pretending,can wear a body out, you know."
A: "Pretending?"
J: "Yeah, Angie, you were right. You made a mistake. Listen, It's not too 
late to fix it."
A: "Jacob, please."
J: "Come on, you're so close to the truth. Please, don't back up off it 
now!"
A: "This is not what this is about.."
J: "This is exactly what it's about. You just said yourself, you made a 
mistake, Angie, I mean you thought, you thought you wanted one thing, but 
you really wanted another."
A: "Jacob, it would just complicate things.."
J: "OH-H-H, will you just stop talking from there. (tapping her head) 
Here, here (pointing to her heart) I want to hear what your heart has to 
say!"
She sighs and touches his lips and softly at first, they kiss. And then...
