How Iong you had

this rash on your neck?

Are you aIIergic

to anything?

Not that I know of.

I'd say

it's your neckIace then.

Is it new?

Oh, no.

Strange.

CouId be your body

just adjusting to

the hormone change.

Sometimes women

deveIop aIIergies

during pregnancy.

Is the chain siIver?

Cheaper metaIs

cause rashes sometimes.

Oh, don't worry.

Nothing serious.

(DOOR OPENING)

Hey. That was fun.

Remind me

never to get a fIat

in the rain again.

(EXCLAIMS)

WeII, what's this?

Doesn't even Iook reaI.

Hey, you okay?

I'm fine.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's nothing at aII.

AII right.

I'm gonna go change.

Hey.

Ah, here you go.

Oh, that's my boy.

You're getting fat.

I think we're going to

put you on Weight Watchers.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

DETECTIVE MILLS:

When did you see her Iast?

Ms. Bryson?

Not for a whiIe.

Not for weeks.

I'm sorry.

So you and Miss Riggs,

you were

seeing each other?

WeII...

They were.

But not for some time.

Not a very happy reIationship,

I understand.

She was a troubIed girI.

If you hear anything...

I'm sure

they'II find her.

Sometimes I can feeI him.

I have his hands.

His heart.

It's Iike

he's waiting.

He's wanting to come back.

When you Iook at me,

do you think about him?

Sometimes.

Lucky coin.

Nothing's gone forever.

Jess?

(CHATTERING ON TV)

Hi, baby.

Hey, what do you think

of Victor?

I think,

Iess thinking,

more unpacking.

I Iove it when

you boss me around.

I'm gonna go take

this stuff upstairs.

ROMAN:
Remember

the storm in Cancn?

RYAN:
It's your mother's

oId siIver chain.

The circus in Kentucky?

These are

my memories.

MIRANDA:

He's Iying to you.

Remember when

we went to Pastis,

and the waiter spiIIed

a bottIe of BaroIo

aII over my white shirt?

Memories. Memories.

Memories.

There was an oId coupIe

in the park and...

And when l looked at them,

I couId onIy

think one thing.

Our future.

Our future.

Our future.

You're cute,

Iooking at this stuff.

I'm sorry.

No, you...

You just scared me.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Hormones.

Okay. If you're hungry,

I'm gonna go fix dinner.

Okay.

(STUTTERING)

I'm just gonna be a minute.

Hey, Jess,

you need anything?

No, I'm fine.

(CLINKING)

It's a funny thing,

isn't it?

Love?

It's stronger

than any of us.

It finds a way somehow.

And once you get it,

you can never Iet it go.

That's probabIy why

it was so hard for Roman.

'Cause I think

he was in Iove with you.

And I think he feIt Iike

I stoIe you from him.

Just because

he saw you first.

So he stuck it out,

watching the two of us,

torturing himseIf.

Can't say I bIame him.

We are so Iucky.

I want you to

come with me.

I think

you'II Iike this.

It's aImost finished.

Like it?

What do you think?

I guess

I'II keep working on it.

Do not

run away from this.

Jess, Iook at me.

We've worked too hard

to get here.

I understand that

you are hurt and confused,

but the truth is

you're happier now

than you've ever been.

No.

No, you Iied to me.

How sick are you?

You took advantage of me

whiIe my husband was dying.

No.

The onIy way that

I couId even stand to be

in the same room with you

was when you were

someone eIse.

First Casey, now you.

Why do you do this?

Why do you aII do this?

Why do you turn on me

Iike this?

What?

What did you do?

I Iove you.

I did it aII for you.

We are starting

to buiId a famiIy.

I came back for you.

He didn't.

Back for me?

Just the thought

of you touching me

makes me sick.

He's Iying.

God.

(MACHINE BEEPING)

(JESS GROANING)

Come on, Jess,

stand up.

Something's wrong.

(GASPING) I'm serious.

Something's wrong.

Let me see.

(SHOUTING)

You're hurting me!

He's dumping

his pressure.

NURSE:
We're down

by 25%.

Okay,

we're Iosing him.

I've got an EEG 5,

stiII faIIing.

(ALL CLAMORING)

You knew

what you were doing with me!

You aIways knew!

Stop this.

I remember the first time

you Iooked at me.

I knew what you wanted.

You kept Iooking at me

Iike that, even when

you were with him.

(GROANS)

(JESS GRUNTING)

I wiII not Iet you go.

(GROANING)

Time of death...

(GROANING)

DR. RAJAN:
Mrs. Bryson?

I have good news.

The baby wiII be fine.

What about Ryan?

He had another seizure

Iast night.

He fought it.

He fought hard.

For a moment

it seemed his body

wasn't strong enough.

But then, somehow,

he puIIed through.

I think

we're gonna be okay.

We'II get through this.

And...

I've taken a new case.

I think it's something

I shouId do.

But I want you to know...

I need you to know

that when you

find your way back,

I wiII be right here.

And things

wiII be different.

I wiII be different.

I promise you, baby.

RYAN:
Let me heIp you.

(ON YOUR OWN PLAYING)

(MAN SINGING)

You know I can't save you

You're on your own

No, I just can't heIp you

You're aII aIone

You're on your own

On your own

You're on your own
