Josh: Billy, you in there, bud?
Billy: Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, yep, yep. Just a minute. Um... yeah... I'm coming. Hey. Entre.
Josh: Okay. Well, this place looks like it's been hit by a tornado.
Billy: Yeah. (Slurring his words) I had a little fashion crisis. You know, I was getting dressed with Lizzie earlier, and... oh, yeah, well, hey, that's an alcoholic's favorite moment: Getting ready for his last drink before they strap you down and fill you full of cleaning fluid.
Josh: When do you leave?
Billy: I leave after the ordination. Don't worry. I will show up sober.
Josh: I'm glad you're going to be there.
Billy: You know, Josh, I may have let you down, but I've always had your back.
Josh: I know that.
Billy: I just want you to know, too, that... hey, if you need somebody with this Edmund thing, to get his hands dirty, I'm your man.
Josh: Yeah. You're not going to get involved in that, okay? I need you clean and sober. After that we'll deal with Edmund and everything else.
Billy: Like Bill.
Bartender: Scotch on the rocks?
Bill: I didn't order that.
Alan: I did. You can't join me in a toast if you don't have anything to toast with.
Bill: What are we toasting to?
Alan: We're toasting you for stealing your father's most important client and outing your father as the drunk that he is all in one week. Bravo.
Bill: I see you read the papers.
Alan: I own the papers. To your homecoming, Bill!
Lizzie: At least somebody's happy to see you.
Reva: Yes, dear, your plan with Edmund is still working just fine. He thinks he's being shipped off to Peaceful Valley compound to spend the rest of his days reading Rock Hoover novels and playing canasta. If he only knew that he was going to face murder charges... no, I know. You know what, I've got to go back in because he's going to break something. Um, I'll talk to you later. Uh, you wouldn't want to take him out for some ice cream or something, would you?
Security guard: But Mr. O’Neill said...
Reva: I know, I know. He stays here.
Edmund: Care for a game of cards, ducky?
Reva: Ducky that.
Edmund: Ow.
Reva: I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than play cards with you. Bourbon?
Edmund: Gin.
Reva: Bourbon it is, then. T-minus 30 minutes.
Edmund: Until what?
Reva: Until I pass you off to Josh and Cassie.
Edmund: Well, then I guess we both have something to look forward to.
Reva: Neat?
Edmund: Thank you. Jeffrey on the phone?
Reva: It's none of your business.
Edmund: You know, I have to say that you're a better couple than I ever would have imagined.
Reva: What do you mean by that?
Edmund: Well, the man is just so un-Josh-like. Josh is good and decent. Jeffrey O’Neill has the morals of a squirrel. I mean, not that it bothers someone like me, but someone like you...
Reva: What do you mean, someone like me?
Edmund: What did you mean last night when you told me I had one last chance to prove myself, and why didn't you want Jeffrey to hear it?
Cassie: All right, sweetie, hold still.
Will: Angels don't hold still.
Cassie: Yeah, well, you're not going to be an angel if I can't get these wings to stand up straight. No wonder Beth stayed up until 2:00 in the morning working on these things for James. Ugh, maybe I should call her, figure out what she did.
Will: No, we can figure it out.
Cassie: Well, I'm trying here, honey, but I've got to tell you, your mom is not the greatest seamstress. I failed Home-Ec twice.
Will: Mom, how do you think I should say this line? "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men."
Cassie: You know what? You really are my little angel.
Will: Do you think I say it okay? It's the most important line in the whole entire pageant.
Cassie: Oh, I think you say it perfectly.
Will: If we call Uncle Edmund, he can help me practice. He said that he helped Tammy practice for her play.
Cassie: Yes, and your sister was a beautiful Juliet, but he can't help you right now, sweetie, because he has a lot to do in order to get back to San Cristobel.
Will: Why can't he stay in Springfield? Please, Mom?
Cassie: I'm sorry, honey, but he can’t. Remember? Josh and I explained he has to go back and continue with your father's work. And it's his home team. Remember? It's his home team. Have a seat. I'm going to call Beth. (Sighs) Beth, hi. It's Cassie. Yeah, I was just calling to ask about James'... what? Wow! No, I didn't have any idea. Okay. Well, please tell him that we both hope he gets better real soon okay, bye, Beth. Will?
Will: Yeah, Mom?
Cassie: Well, that was Beth, and she said the reason James had to drop out of the play was because he fell off the stage. Why didn't you tell me that?
(Cell phone rings)
Alan: Oh, you're going to have to excuse me. I need to take this call, Bill. But I would watch out if I were you. She's not as cute when she's going through shopping withdrawal.
Lizzie: Oh, that's funny, Granddad. Why don't you go choke on one of your illegal Cuban cigars?
Alan: (Laughs)
Bill: Are you always so rude to all of your bosses?
Lizzie: I don't see my boss around here.
Bill: You're looking at him.
Lizzie: You're not my boss. Billy Lewis is my boss.
Bill: My dad is not the boss of anyone right now.
Lizzie: No, thanks to you.
Bill: He's heading to rehab soon. That leaves me...
Lizzie: The prodigal son?
Bill: Lewis' biggest client wants me to make all of the decisions on his job-- your boss. And, by the way, you're late.
Lizzie: Are you kidding me?
Bill: Mmm.
Lizzie: I was helping your dad book his rehab stay, something you should have been doing.
Bill: Yeah. Can I get you a drink?
Lizzie: Are you listening to the words that are coming out of my mouth?
Bill: No, but I'm watching your luscious lips bounce up and down. Does that count? God, did I just say that?
Lizzie: I get so close to feeling sorry for you...
Bill: You feel sorry for the kid? Don't feel sorry for...
Lizzie: You know why?
Bill: Why?
Lizzie: I'll tell you why. Because I get it, Bill. Okay? I know what it's like to feel like your family doesn't appreciate you, okay? I've been there. It sucks. Even when you tried to get Billy to kick me out of the company, I still understand.
Bill: Thank you. So...
Lizzie: So? Alan Spaulding, come on!
Bill: He's your granddad.
Lizzie: He's the one we stole this project from in the first place.
Bill: So what? I'll steal another one when he's not looking. Haven't you ever heard of sleeping with the enemy?
Lizzie: I don't know. Is that like what you did to me?
Billy: Do you think these people in rehab will kind of dig my sense of style?
Josh: I don't think they're going to care a whole lot about what you're wearing, Billy. I think they're going to care about you getting better.
Billy: Yeah, well actually, I was kind of just joking. You know, seriously, little brother, I can't stop thinking about this time when Bill was about eight years old, and he had taken money out of Vanessa’s purse. We knew he had done it, and he knew we knew, because I was looking him right in the eye, and he could see that I knew, and I think just because of that look, he never stole any money ever again.
Josh: He's going through a tough time, Billy. He'll get through it.
Billy: I think it's more than that. He did that thing to Lizzie, and then he blew me out of the water. You know, I don't even think he is sorry one teeny little bit.
Josh: Do you want me to talk to him?
Billy: I'm not sure just a talk from his uncle is going to help. I think what he needs in his heart right now is some fear.
Josh: Billy...
Billy: No. Seriously, seriously. I think you don't reach somebody with love who's gone that far.
Cassie: Honey, when you told me you got the lead because James dropped out of the play, I thought it was because he must have quit. You know, he really hurt himself. He broke his wrist. He's wearing a cast. And did you know that that's what happened?
Will: Yeah.
Cassie: But you just didn't tell me about it?
Will: He, he looked very embarrassed. And it sounded like he didn't want anybody to know about it.
Cassie: Ah, so you were just trying to protect his feelings?
Will: Yup.
Cassie: Well, that was very thoughtful of you. But you know, I think he's really sad about not being in the pageant. So maybe we should go visit him today. You know, we could bring some flowers or a book. He likes to read. Why don't we go to the mall and pick out a nice book?
Will: Now?
Cassie: Yeah. Why not?
Will: We were working on my costume.
Cassie: Well, we can finish that up later.
Will: The pageant is tomorrow.
Cassie: Are you nervous about this, sweetie? Because, you know, you're going to be just great.
Will: Can I go to my room and practice, Mom?
Cassie: Sure, honey. Of course. I guess we can just send James a card.
Will: Oh, if you call Uncle Edmund, I bet he could fix the wing.
Reva: Eat up.
Edmund: You only feed me when you want me to shut up.
Reva: It's worked so far.
Edmund: So, you never answered my question.
Reva: Yes, I have changed my hair since the last time you saw me.
Edmund: No. Jeffrey left the room, and you felt the need to tell me that if I proved myself, that if I showed the world that I wasn't the unsavory person they all seem to think I am, then...
Reva: I know you know about Cassie changing that paternity test, and that Alan’s the baby's father.
Edmund: Oh, suddenly everything's illuminated. You know, I thought, I thought you weren't involved in all of this, Reva. But it makes perfect sense that you would be trying to protect him.
Reva: Him?
Edmund: Josh, of course.
Reva: Did it ever cross your mind that I might be protecting my sister?
Edmund: As a secondary concern, perhaps, but this isn't about Cassie. This is about Joshua. It always is. Reva, don't worry. I know the deal. I know what's supposed to take place. I keep my mouth shut about Rick Bauer’s baby actually being Alan Spaulding’s, and off I go to the Peaceful Valley compound to spend the rest of my days on the beach playing gin rummy. It's not a bad life, all in all, but it's just not the life that I had when I was with Cassie.
Reva: What do you want, Edmund?
Edmund: You mean, other than a hot shower and a decent meal.
Reva: Did you come here for Cassie?
Edmund: I came here to make amends, Reva, tie up loose ends.
Reva: Some way of making amends. Do you really want her to go to jail for switching that paternity test? Is that what you really want?
Edmund: If I said that it is?
Reva: Then you'll deserve everything you're going to get.
Edmund: And what if I said that all I want is what's best for Cassie? That I want her life to be happy and full. What then, Reva?
Reva: It's time to go.
Bill: Yeah, I'm going to be running Lewis while my dad's in rehab. For how long? Well, indefinitely. Well, he has a long road ahead of him. So we just hope that he pulls out of it. Thanks a lot.
Alan: Very impressive. You know something, Bill? You've managed to do something that no other member of your family has been able to do, including your father and your uncle.
Bill: And what is that?
Alan: Eradicate that pesky little thing called a conscience. You know, I like your style. I think that you and I should do business sometime.
Lizzie: Hey, Billy! Billy!
Billy: Hey, Mindy, how are you?
Lizzie: No. Hey, it's me. It's Lizzie!
Billy: Huh?
Lizzie: Hey!
Billy: Oh, hi, darling. What time is it?
Lizzie: Oh, it's time for you to finish packing.
Billy: Oh, yeah, well.
Lizzie: What happened, huh? I thought you were almost ready to go.
Billy: Yeah. I had a little fashion crisis.
Lizzie: Yeah, I doubt that's the truth. You'd have to burn all of your clothes and start over. Oh, it looks to me like you were snuggling up with a nice bottle of vodka.
Billy: No. Actually, it was bourbon, but thank you.
Lizzie: I feel really guilty about something.
Billy: What?
Lizzie: I didn't like being the only one who knew you were drinking. I mean, I didn't want anything like this to happen, but if I could have tried to help you, then maybe no one would ever had had to know.
Billy: Oh, no, sweetie. You helped me a whole bunch, a whole bunch.
Lizzie: Well, I promise, okay, I am going to work really hard while you're gone.
Billy: I'm not sure I like you working with Bill after what he's done to you.
Lizzie: I can handle him.
Billy: No...
Lizzie: I shouldn't tell you this, I know that I shouldn't tell you this...
Billy: No...
Lizzie: But, um, I saw Bill at Towers today with my granddad.
Billy: Oh, wow. I'm gonna get that boy and...
Lizzie: What are you going to do? Spank him? He's not a little boy anymore.
Billy: No, he's not. He's my son. And I'm, he's messed up, and I'm even worse. I've got to pack.
Lizzie: No, no. Let me do it, okay? You know what, I am going to be Bill's right arm, okay? And his left arm too and it's, actually, it's probably a good thing that he thinks that I'm just some dumb weak blonde, because I am not going to let him get away with anything, okay? You can do this. You can. I have faith in you. You gave me that faith.
Billy: All right, well, you know. I'll tell you what, I'll see you at the ordination, okay?
Lizzie: You're not coming to that?
Billy: Yeah, well, sure I am. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Lizzie: What about rehab?
Billy: Well, I've got a car waiting after the ordination to take me right to rehab.
Lizzie: No, no, no. Billy, I'm driving you right now, okay? It will make things easier...
Billy: No, no.
Lizzie: Josh won't mind, okay? He'll understand.
Billy: Darn it, sweetie, you don't understand. It's too important. You see, somebody in this family has to show my boy that you can do good.
Will: Uncle Edmund!
Josh: Hey, my favorite angel. How are you?
Will: Can I go to my room now and try to memorize my lines?
Cassie: Okay. Sure.
Will: Thanks.
Cassie: I think he's just really nervous about this play.
Josh: Well, he's the lead. That's a big responsibility.
Cassie: Careful. That glue is probably not dry yet.
Josh: Okay.
Cassie: Um, so I called Beth to-- hi, by the way. I called Beth to find out if I could get some help on Will's costume, and did you know why James had had to drop out of the play?
Josh: Stage fright?
Cassie: Well, he may have it now because he fell off the stage and he broke his wrist.
Josh: Wow, I had no idea.
Cassie: And I talked to Will about it, and he said he didn't want to make James embarrassed, but then I suggested we go over there, visit, bring him a present, and then he was all nervous and said he didn't have time.
Josh: Yeah, well, I think you're right. I think he's nervous, and that's natural.
Cassie: Yeah. So I'm probably just overanalyzing. It's just-- he keeps asking for Edmund to help him rehearse. And every time it kills me because I know where this is going. And what are we going to do when he actually is locked up in a compound.
Josh: He's a kid, Cassie. He'll adapt. In fact, sometimes they adapt better than we do, faster than we do. He'll be fine. Would it be okay if I talked to him for a minute?
Cassie: Of course. That would be great.
Josh: Hey, Will, can you come down here for a minute? Hey. Come on over here. I want to talk to you. Right here. Listen, first of all, we are so proud of you for playing the lead role in this Christmas play. I mean, you're the angel. That's a big thing. It's your job to tell people the Christmas story, and tell them about love and caring about other people. What's that line you've been practicing?
Will: "And on earth, peace, goodwill towards men."
Josh: Good. Nice job. And that's a great message, too. Do you understand what it means?
Will: No.
Josh: Listen, your friend James, he's pretty unhappy right now.
Will: Because he tripped.
Josh: Yeah. Yeah, and he is sad because he can't be in the play. Now, I think it's great that you're worried about getting your lines right, and memorizing your dialogue and all that, but maybe we should think about visiting James, you know, to help him feel better. I think that would be important, too.
(Knock on door)
Edmund: Sorry to intrude, but may I speak with my nephew, please?
Will: Uncle Edmund!
Edmund: Hello, William!
Will: Do you want to help me study with my lines?
Edmund: Sure! May we?
Cassie: Go ahead.
Edmund: Thank you.
Reva: Uncle Edmund, the guard, my guard is right outside, so don't think about running out the back door on anything.
Edmund: Wouldn't dream of it.
Josh: So where's Jeffrey? Is he working out the details of Edmund’s transfer?
Reva: Uh-huh.
Josh: Okay.
Cassie: So Jeffrey told you about the compound?
Reva: Peaceful Valley, yes, he told me.
Cassie: It really is the best thing. I mean, as much as I want Edmund out of our lives, I don't think he needs to suffer anymore than necessary. I just want to know that he's not going to be back here to hurt our family again. Thanks again for agreeing to Edmund-sit. I hope he didn't steal anything or scare off your neighbors.
Josh: Did Jeffrey say that the arrangements had been made?
Reva: To transfer him back to the island?
Josh: Yeah.
Cassie: Once, once he sees Will in the pageant.
Josh: He's out of here. Never to darken our door again.
Reva: You know, um, Jeffrey didn't explain any of the details to me, but I'm sure, knowing Jeffrey, he will have it all planned down, right to the second. So, are you ready for your big day tomorrow?
Cassie: Are you kidding me? He hasn't slept in three days.
Josh: Are you coming?
Reva: Who me?
Josh: Yeah.
Reva: I never miss church. (Laughs)
Cassie: (Laughs) (knock on door)
Josh: (Laughs) I'll get it.
Reva: So I'm sure you're glad to finally be getting rid of Edmund. He's caused you a lot of pain.
Cassie: Well, not just me. You, too. Half this town has a death wish against him.
Reva: It's just kind of hard to understand, you know, that a man like Edmund, who appears to have goodness in him, can actually be responsible for all of the horrible things that he's done to people.
Edmund: Did you cause James to fall off that stage so that you could have his part in the play?
Will: Would you be mad if I said yes?
Edmund: Well, of course not. But can you tell me why?
Will: I just did. I'm a better angel than James.
Edmund: No question. You know, you and I are a lot alike. I always knew I would be a much better ruler of San Cristobel than my brother Richard, just as I know I'd be a much better husband to your mother than Josh, but you can't go around acting that way, William. You have to act as though you care about what happened to James.
Will: I don’t.
Edmund: Of course you don’t. I wouldn't either. Some of us are just not burdened with that sort of sympathy. But, here, sit up straight. Your mother and Josh and Reva are, unfortunately. Fortunately, unfortunately, it's neither here nor there. The important thing to know is that you have to act, as though you care about what happened to James. If you don't, it's going to make them very nervous William. Look, you're a good actor, right? Use those acting skills to make them think you feel the way they feel. Love the way they love. Hurt just the same way they hurt. That's the only way you're ever going to get them to trust you.
Josh: Your father's not here.
Bill: Well, I'm not looking for my dad.
Josh: Well, you should be. Bill, he's hurting because of what you did.
Bill: He did it to himself. Unless, of course, you think I'm the one who poured the alcohol down his throat. But I wasn't even here. I was busy in Venezuela, screwing up deals, getting myself fired.
Josh: What's wrong with you?
Bill: What?
Josh: What happened to you down in Venezuela to make you so hateful toward the people who care about you the most?
Bill: I'm not trying to hurt anybody. I'm trying to run a business. And you have to admit, Lewis is better off in my hands than in the hands of a drunk, especially one who doesn't hide it very well.
Josh: Why are you here?
Bill: Look, I just-- I want to see if Lewis Construction could offer something for your ordination, anything. Whether it's a congratulations ad in a newspaper, hosting an event, you name it, I'll do it.
Josh: I see. Is that supposed to be some kind of an olive branch?
Bill: I don't have a beef with you, Uncle Josh, I don’t. Tomorrow is a big day for the family, right?
Josh: Yes, tomorrow is a big day for my family. And to be honest, right now, Bill, I don't consider you a part of that.
Bill: You're disinviting me?
Josh: No, I wouldn't do that. I'm telling you that until you make amends for what you've done, you are not welcome here. I'm sorry. I don't need your help.
Billy: Alan! Hey! I hear you had a little business talk with my boy today.
Alan: Well, news travels fast, doesn't it, Billy. Why don't you sit down. Bartender, bring this man a drink. Oh, that was very insensitive of me, wasn't it, Billy. That is unless you're not pretending anymore.
Billy: Ha, ha, ha. Very clever. Look, just stay away from my boy.
Edmund: There you are.
Will: You fixed them?
Edmund: Yes, I did.
Will: You're the best!
Edmund: Yes, I am. Now, do you understand now, William?
Will: So they'll trust me?
Edmund: It's just something grownups have to do sometimes, just like I have to pretend that I like Josh and Reva and Jeffrey, even though I know they just want me to leave town.
Will: I heard them, Uncle Edmund. They were talking and they wanted to send you away.
Josh: Hey, Will, it's time to make a get-well card for James. Here you go.
Reva: I should probably get going.
Josh: Yeah, I'll walk you out. Just a second.
Reva: Okay.
Josh: I'll be right back.
Cassie: Thanks.
Reva: See you, you bet. Be good. So, are you nervous about your ordination?
Josh: Never been more terrified in my entire life.
Reva: You're going to knock their socks off and their shoes.
Josh: (Laughs)
Reva: Good luck, or break a leg. Do you have any idea what you're supposed to say before an ordination? (Laughs)
Josh: (Laughs) No, not at all. What I'd like to say is good-bye Edmund, get him out of here before he has the chance to do any damage.
Cassie: I don't know what it is you say to him, but it works.
Edmund: I think I just remind him of his father in some way.
Cassie: So, you're leaving tomorrow? But before you go.
Edmund: Cassie, I'm going to make everything okay with Will. You don't have to worry about that.
Cassie: You're going home. This Peaceful Valley is supposed to be really nice, you know, beautiful beaches and trees.
Edmund: I'm sure. There is just one thing very seriously wrong with it, Cassie, and that's that neither you nor Will will be there.
Cassie: Edmund.
Edmund: Cassie, that's just my way of letting you know how sorry that I am that I won't you seeing you or Will again after tomorrow, and letting you know how much you both meant to me. Cassie, you gave me a chance. You gave me a chance, when the rest of the world, Rick Bauer say, thought I was a lost cause.
Cassie: Well, you might want to remember that feeling, because this could be a new beginning for you. This, you know, being in a beautiful place could be healing for you.
Edmund: Fresh ocean air, salty breeze, sand between my toes.
Cassie: Something like that, yeah. (Laughing)
Edmund: (Laughs)
Cassie: So I have to thank you, Edmund, for helping Will the way you have, and for not saying what you know about Beth’s baby.
Edmund: Cassie, I don't know if you'll ever fully believe this, but the last thing I'd ever want in the whole world is to hurt you.
Alan: It's ironic that you should be here reclaiming your son when you've practically adopted my granddaughter.
Billy: No, your granddaughter came to you first, but you managed to throw all of her mistakes back in her face.
Alan: Isn't that what you did when you fired Bill from his job at Lewis?
Billy: Oh, no. We could nitpick all day, but it's still not going to change the fact that you're basically an unfit father, and history proves this.
Alan: Are we going to play that game?
Billy: Yeah.
Alan: Because all I have to do is bring up all of the reminders of how you disappointed your family year after year after year.
Billy: Look, Alan, when it comes to stuff like this, I don't play nice. So, keep your hands off my boy. Do yourself a favor.
Alan: He's a grown man. He can make his own choices, Billy. And I think he's made a wise choice. (Cell phone rings)
Alan: Oh, I have to take this call. Excuse me.
Bill: Are you going to save some of that for me?
Lizzie: That depends. Are you going to tell me what really happened to you?
Bill: No.
Lizzie: Your dad's going to rehab.
Bill: I know.
Lizzie: Are you going to visit him?
Bill: I don't think he'd want that.
Lizzie: Are you really that clueless? Can't you see how much your dad really needs you?
Bill: Words, Lizzie, they're just words.
Lizzie: Do you think I don't get it? I was you, Bill, feeling like everyone's let you down so low, you can't even get out of bed in the morning without wanting to hurt someone.
Bill: Well, thank you for the psychoanalysis.
Lizzie: I should just let you suffer. Just leave you alone and walk away.
Bill: Why don't you?
Lizzie: It's stupid.
Bill: What?
Lizzie: The fact that I still feel... even though I know what you did... I know how vulnerable I was, and I know how you used me. But the words that you said, the way you stood up for me to my granddad, even though I... touched me.
Bill: Lizzie...
Lizzie: I know, it was all of like one day, okay? But you made me feel like you were somebody special. Like you cared. I really felt like I knew you and like you understood me. But that was all a lie. That was all a lie?
Bill: I do understand you, Lizzie.
Lizzie: Do you?
Bill: I do. And I didn't need some diary to know some of what you needed, or to feel some of what you feel.
Lizzie: What do you mean when you say that? Like, like what we had was... real?
Bill: Well, sometimes we see what we want to see. You needed me to be this hero who rides into town and rescues you from all this pain. I'm not that guy anymore.
Lizzie: No kidding. So who the hell are you?
Bill: The maid let me in. Why don't you hook me up with one of those, huh?
Alan: Be my guest. You know, when I said I wanted to do business with you, I didn't mean today.
Bill: Well, I'm not here to do business. I'm here to extend an invitation.
Alan: Oh?
Bill: Uh-huh. How's about you and I head down to the church tomorrow. Post-ordination drinks are on me.
Alan: Well, then I'll have Hilda press my best Sunday suit.
Reva: Yes, Edmund was safely delivered to the farmhouse. So would you get back here, please, quick? Hey. I'll talk to you later.
Billy: Will I do?
Reva: You will do. You'll more than do. Come here, big boy.
Billy: How do you feel about staying up all night with somebody who's not drinking?
Reva: That depends on with who.
Billy: With me.
Reva: I'm very proud of you, Billy.
Billy: Hey don't go saying that until I get through this whole thing. So is Edmund all taken care of?
Reva: Yeah, he'll be shipped off to San Cristobel right after Josh's ceremony.
Billy: You know, I think I'm more excited about this ceremony than Josh is. In some ways I kind of need it, maybe we just need it for the whole family.
Reva: I have to tell you something, Billy.
Billy: Uh-oh. Okay.
Reva: Jeffrey's been lying to everyone about where Edmund’s actually going. He's been saying he's going to some luxury compound where he'll live the rest of his days safe and secure.
Billy: Let me guess: But Jeffrey actually has other plans, right?
Reva: He's actually going back to be tried and probably executed for Alonzo’s murder.
Billy: He killed Alonzo?
Reva: No.
Billy: Josh doesn't know any of this?
Reva: I want Edmund gone as much as anybody else does, for Cassie’s sake, for Josh's sake, but I just don't know about this.
Billy: Sweetie, sweetie, wait. Look, Josh found his path. And maybe you and I and Jeffrey are here for a reason. We make different decisions than Josh, and he needs us because we can protect him in a way he can't protect himself. Now, he's always been there for us, right? So, let's just hope that Edmund doesn't find out about any of this until it's too late, okay? How about some club soda. I'm really thirsty.
Josh: So what do you want to write up here at the top?
Will: How about "From one angel to another"?
Josh: Wow, that's really good. I think James is really going to appreciate this card.
Will: I hope so. Can Uncle Edmund stay here?
Josh: Well, he is going to stay with us for the night.
Will: But can he stay here and live with us?
Josh: You know, it's kind of like what I said before, your Uncle Edmund, he has very important things to do in San Cristobel. He has to go home.
Edmund: You know, when I'm back on the island, living out my days at the compound, I'll think about this, Cassie. I'll think about you and Will here safe and happy. I'll think about how you don't hate me anymore for all of the pain I've caused you, and how you still manage to see some good in me. It's really a comfort.
Cassie: You don't have to think of this as an ending, you know. This could be a new beginning for you.
Edmund: I can't tell you how much that means to me, to hear you say that. Excuse me.
Josh: You know, Will's not the only one that has to practice for tomorrow.
Cassie: Oh, well, then get studying. I can take care of the peanut gallery.
Josh: Are you okay with him being here?
Cassie: Yeah, I can handle it. Go on, hit the books, Rev.
Josh: Hang on, come here.
Edmund: You're good. The angel on the card is a nice touch. William, listen, after I leave tomorrow.
Will: You can't go!
Edmund: Listen. We'll be in touch, I promise.
Will: Don't you see that they're trying to get rid of you. Why aren't you fighting? Why are you giving up? You always say never give up.
Edmund: You know what, William, you make a very good point.
