Chapter 5

On the Southside, Finn woke up in his bed to find Zelina straddling him.

"Morning." Zelina greeted him with a kiss on the lips.

"Zelina.." Finn said as he let out a sigh.

She looked down at him in confusion for a moment.

"You're upset.. So let me make you feel better." Zelina told him.

"I don't think this is going to make me feel better." Finn tried to tell her.

"What is so fucking great about this girl anyway? Why can't you just let her go?" Zelina asked.

"Because I love her.. And somehow, I have a feeling you don't have a clue what that's like." Finn said as she pushed her off of him.

Zelina watched Finn as he walked out of his room. She got up in frustration and followed him into the kitchen.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Zelina asked him.

"It means that you would rather fuck guys then have an actual relationship with anyone." Finn said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Are you calling me a whore?" Zelina asked as she stared at him.

"I mean you said it.." Finn told her.

Suddenly, Finn looked down and saw the anger in her eyes, realizing that he messed up. Zelina grabbed a coffee cup and smiled at him. Finn stood there in confusion for a minute. Before he knew what was happening Zelina threw the coffee cup at him. He ducked down, causing it to hit the hall and shatter into pieces.

"What the fuck, Zelina?" Finn asked.

"I'm not a whore!" She yelled at him.

Finn looked at her in disbelief as she stormed out of his apartment.



In the hall, Zelina ran into an unfamiliar man.

"Shit. I'm sorry." Zelina told him.

He looked her up and down, admiring the way she looked in Finn's grey t-shirt.

"I'm Tomaso.. Ciampa." He introduced himself.

Zelina rolled her eyes and walked away. Tomaso smiled to himself as Zelina walked back to her room. He knocked on the door across from Finn's room.

"Hey, man!" Johnny greeted him with a hug.

"What''s up?" Tomaso asked as he walked into the apartment.

"Not much. Candice just went out to get some coffee." Johnny told him.

Tomaso sat his bags down and looked around at all the boxes on the floor.

"Does she know what's going on?" Tomaso asked.

"No.. And she's not going to find out." Johnny assured him.

Tomaso looked at Johnny with concern for a moment. Suddenly, Candice returned with the coffee.

"Tomaso?" Candice asked in surprise.

"Hey!" Tomaso said as they greeted each other with a hug.

"I thought you weren't going to be able to make it until tomorrow?" She asked.

"I decided to come a day early." Tomaso told her.

"Well that's great! We should all go out for dinner tonight." Candice said.

"Yeah, it'll be just like old times." Johnny added.

"Okay, let's do it." Tomaso said with a smile on his face.








On the Southside, Sasha woke up and poured herself a cup of coffee. She walked out onto the terrace to find Naomi smoking a cigarette.

"Morning." Sasha greeted her.

"Hey, girl." Naomi said.

Sasha took a sip of her coffee and looked out at the view of the Southside.

"Everything is so simple here." Sasha said.

"It is?" Naomi asked in amusement.

"Compared to the Northside.. Yeah, it is." Sasha said.

Naomi took a deep breath and closed her eyes nervously.

"I'm cheating on Jimmy." She blurted out.

Sasha looked over at Naomi in confusion.

"What?" Sasha asked.

"I've been hooking up with my ex-boyfriend." Naomi told her.

"Detective Kingston?" Sasha asked in surprise.

"I know.. I'm a horrible person." Naomi said.

"You're not. Trust me, Naomi.. I've have seen people do a lot worse than cheat. Hell, I've done a lot worse.." Sasha said.

"Like what?" Naomi asked her.

Sasha looked into Naomi's eyes with hesitance.

"Things you don't want to know." Sasha told her.

Naomi watched skeptically as Sasha took another sip of her coffee.








A few streets over, Dean and Becky were having breakfast with Nora when someone rang the doorbell. Dean got up and walked down the hall to answer the door.

"Detective?" Dean asked in confusion.

"Can I come in?" Kofi asked.

"Of course." Dean said.

They walked back into the kitchen where Nora was chugging down a glass of chocolate milk.

"Good morning." Kofi said.

"Is everything okay?" Becky asked as she stood up from her seat.

"There is a family looking to adopt." Kofi told them.

"What does that mean?" Dean asked.

"It means that they have already had a meeting with the agency and everything is order. They just want to meet Nora before officially adopting her." Kofi said.

"So they are just going to take her?" Dean asked.

"That's how foster care works. Like I told you before.. This is only temporary." Kofi told them.

Dean looked back at Nora and felt an ache in his chest.

"How long do we have?" Becky asked.

"They will be here this afternoon." Kofi said.

Becky and Dean looked to each other with concern.








On the Westside, Renee woke up and poured herself a cup of coffee. Suddenly, Peyton walked out of Roman's room wearing nothing but a t-shirt.

"Good morning, Riley." Peyton greeted her with a smile.

Renee looked at her in annoyance.

"It's Renee." She corrected her.

"Oh, okay." Peyton said as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

Renee looked her up and down, trying to see what Roman saw in her.

"Morning." Roman said as he walked out of his room without a shirt on.

He walked over and kissed Peyton on the lips as he held her waist. Renee watched uncomfortably as they began to make out.

"I think I'm going to be sick." Renee said as she walked over to the couch.

Roman pulled away from Peyton and laughed.

"Did it work?" Peyton whispered to Roman.

"I think so." Roman said with a smirk on his face.

Renee looked over from the couch and rolled her eyes.









Outside, Bayley got inside the black SUV that had just pulled up, hoping to talk with Joe.

"Good morning." Bayley said as she got into the car.

"Morning." Seth greeted her from the drivers seat.

Bayley looked over at Seth in surprise.

"Seth?" She asked.

"Your father asked me to fill in for Joe today. He's got something to do up in Oakville." Seth told her.

"Oh.. Um.." Bayley tried to say.

"Is that coffee for me?" Seth asked her.

Bayley looked up and let out a smile as he took the coffee from her.

"You don't have bed head this morning." Bayley told him.

"I showered before I headed over here." Seth told her.

Bayley looked down at her lap as she suddenly began to imagine what Seth looked like naked.

"Bayley?" Seth asked her.

"What?" She asked as she jumped up.

"You were zoning out on me." Seth told her.

"Right.. Sorry." Bayley laughed at herself.

Seth looked over at her and laughed along.

"Let's go for a drive." Bayley told him.

"What?" He asked in confusion.

"I have nothing to do all day and I feel like doing something spontaneous, so let's drive around." Bayley said.

"I may have only known you for a few months, Bayley but you are the least spontaneous person I know." Seth told her.

"I know.. That's the point. Now drive." Bayley ordered him.

Seth laughed and put the car in drive.








At Becky and Dean's house, Nora was just finishing up her meeting with the couple that wanted to adopt her.

"Thank you guys so much for your time." A woman said.

"Of course." Becky said as she shut the door.

Dean looked at Becky with annoyance.

"What did you think, Nora? Do you like them?" Becky asked.

Nora looked up at Becky and shrugged her shoulders.

"Becks." Dean said as he pulled her out of ear reach from Nora.

"We can't let them take her." Becky told him.

"I know exactly what you are thinking and-." Dean began to say.

"Look, I know we are having a baby Dean but look at her.. She needs us.. We need her." Becky told him.

"I wasn't going to agrue with you.. I agree." Dean said.

Becky looked up at Dean in surprise.

"You do?" Becky asked.

"Yes.. I think we should adopt her." Dean said.

Becky let out a small smile and looked down at Nora as Dean put his arm around her.









Just a few streets over, Seth and Bayley were driving down the street.

"You really grew up on the Southside?" Bayley asked him.

"Yeah.." Seth said as a smile came across his face.

"You miss it, don't you?" Bayley asked him.

"It doesn't matter.. That's all in the past." Seth assured her.

Bayley looked over at Seth and saw the regret in his eyes. Seth pulled over on the side of the street and parked the car.

"Where are we?" Bayley asked him.

"Do you see that small white house over there?" Seth asked her.

"With the for sale sign in the front yard?" Bayley asked him.

"Yeah.. I grew up in that house." Seth told her.

Bayley unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.

"What are you doing?" Seth asked as he got out after her.

"It's for sale, that means no one is inside." Bayley said as she walked up the front steps.

"You can't just walk inside." Seth told her.

Bayley looked back at Seth and laughed as she pulled a bobby pin out of her hair.

"Aren't you supposed to be the bad boy in this scenario?" Bayley asked.

Seth watched in disbelief as Bayley picked the lock.

"Who are you right now?" Seth asked as he let out a laugh.

Bayley finally got the door open and walked inside.

"Do I want to know how you know how to do that?" Seth asked her.

"No." Bayley told him.

Seth followed her inside and stopped in the empty living room.

"Is it like you remember?" Bayley asked him.

"Yeah.. It's exactly like I remember." Seth told her.

Bayley watched as he walked around the house. She followed him into a bedroom as he sat down on the floor.

"This used to be my room." Seth said as Bayley sat down next to him.

"This is cozy." Bayley told him.

"Cozy?" Seth laughed.

"Yeah.. I always wanted something like this growing up." Bayley told him.

Seth looked over and saw a dent in the floor.

"Do you see that dent over there?" Seth asked.

"Yeah." Bayley told him.

"Have you ever watched the movie Step Brothers?" Seth asked her.

"Kenny forced me to watch it once but it's not really my kind of movie.." Bayley said.

"Do you remember the part of the movie where Dale and Brennan try to stack their beds on each other to make bunk beds?" Seth asked.

"Yeah, I remember that!" Bayley laughed.

"Well my mom bought Dean his own bed and put in in my room since he stayed her practically every night. And one night, Roman was over and me and Dean thought we would try to make our own bunk beds.." Seth began to tell her.

"Oh god, I having a feeling this story isn't going to end well." Bayley commented.

"We ended up doing it but some how we had convinced Roman to test it out first.. And we stood back here and just watched as he climbed on the bed. I think we both new what was going to happen but we didn't say anything. As soon as Roman got on top of that bed it collapsed. Dean fell to ground because he was laughing so hard." Seth remembered.

"Was your friend Roman okay?" Bayley asked.

"Yeah, he was fine." Seth laughed.

"It sounds like you guys had a lot of good times together.." Bayley said.

"Yeah.. we did." Seth said unfortunately.

"And your friend Dean.. You guys seemed really close." Bayley said.

"Yeah.. We were. I mean he didn't have the greatest childhood so he practically lived here with me and my mom." Seth told her.

"That sounds like me and Joe." Bayley said with a smile on her face.

Seth looked over at Bayley and smiled.

"So how did you and Dean meet?" Bayley asked him.

"Um.. It was the first day of kindergarten.. There was this kid, Kevin Owens.. And he pushed me down on the playground. I think he made some smart remark about my ninja turtle back pack.. And I guess Dean saw the whole thing. He walked over and punched Kevin across the face. I remember him helping me up off the ground and we just became best friends." Seth remembered.

"Do you miss him?" Bayley asked.

"It doesn't matter.. I don't get to miss him or anyone for that matter. After everything I've done.. I have no right to miss him.." Seth said.

Bayley looked over at Seth and saw the pain in his eyes. She slowly reached over and grabbed his hand. Seth felt his heart begin to beat faster as he felt Bayley's touch.

"Remember what I said about not looking in the rear view mirror?" Bayley asked him.

Seth looked over at Bayley and watched her for a moment as she stared at the ground.

"Are we not going to talk about our kiss?" Seth asked her.

Bayley looked up at Seth with caution in her eyes.

"Finn and I got in a fight." Bayley blurted out

"What?" Seth asked in confusion.

"I packed all my stuff and we were going to move into his place.. But he just got so angry.. And he wouldn't stop yelling.." Bayley said with tears in her eyes.

"Did he hurt you?" Seth asked her.

"No, of course not.." Bayley said.

"Because if he did-." Seth began to say.

"Then what? What would you do?" Bayley asked him

Seth looked into Bayley's eyes and took a deep breathe.

"Seth.. Promise me you won't ever do anything to hurt Finn." Bayley told him.

"Bayley." Seth said.

"I mean it, Seth. You have to promise me that you won't ever hurt him." Bayley said.

"What if he hurts you first?" Seth asked her.

"He wouldn't." Bayley assured him.

"But if he did.." Seth said.

"Then I still wouldn't want anything to happen to him.. Finn is the first person I ever fell in love with. I wouldn't be able to take it if anything happened to him." Bayley said.

Seth looked at Bayley in confusion.

"Why did you say that he is the first person you have ever fallen in love with?" Seth asked her.

"What do you mean?" Bayley asked as she let go of his hand.

"Why not just say he is the only person you've ever been in love with?" Seth asked.

Bayley looked into Seth's eyes with caution as she realized that she had slipped up.

"That's what I meant." Bayley corrected herself.

"Right." Seth said as Bayley stood up.

"We should get going." She told him.

Seth let out a sigh and threw his head against the wall as Bayley walked away.








On the Southside, Sasha was working at the bar when Buddy walked inside.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone." Sasha said.

"No. We need to talk, now." Buddy said as he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her into the back room.

Sasha stood there and watched him in frustration as he shut the door behind him.

"I know what I saw last night.." Buddy told her.

"And I have no idea what you're talking about." Sasha told him.

"I work for her." Buddy said.

Sasha looked up at him in confusion.

"Alexa Bliss hired me to keep surveillance on you." Buddy told her.

"You've been watching me?" Sasha asked.

"Only for a few days.." Buddy said.

"So she hired you after we started hooking up?" Sasha asked.

"Yes." Buddy told her.

"Does she know about us?" Sasha asked.

"Not that I know of." Buddy said.

Sasha looked into his eyes and tried to hide her concern.

"Why does she want you to watch me?" Sasha asked.

"I don't know. I was hoping you could fill me in on that part." Buddy told her.

"You mean you have been stalking me and you have no idea why?" Sasha asked in annoyance.

"I was told not to ask questions.. But now that I know you're the boss's girl-." Buddy began to say.

"I'm not anyone girl!" Sasha assured him.

"Who are you.. really?" Buddy asked.

"I'm no one." Sasha told him.

"Bullshit." Buddy said.

"We're done. Whatever this was.. it's over." Sasha said.

"Sasha." Buddy said.

"You should go." Sasha said.

Buddy looked down at Sasha and saw that she was trying not to cry.

"You really want me to leave?" He asked her.

"Yes. That's exactly what I want." Sasha told him.

"Because I don't think it is.." Buddy said as he leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

For a moment Sasha leaned into the kiss, wanting more than anything to just forget about Alexa.

"No. We can't." Sasha said as she pushed Buddy away from her.

Buddy stared down at Sasha with disappointment in his eyes.

"Goodbye, Sasha." Buddy said before walking out of the room.

Sasha stood there in shock as a tear fell from her face.









On the Northiside, Dean and Becky were meeting with Kofi again while Roman played outside with Nora.

"However much it costs to adopt her, we will double it. We just need you to pull a few strings again and get everything taken care of." Dean said.

"If this is really something the two of you want to do.. I'll do it. But we might need to find her biological father. If we do this we can't afford to have someone snooping around and asking questions." Kofi said.

"How do we find him?" Becky asked.

"I'd start by tracking down some of her mother's friends. They might know something." Kofi said.

"You're not going to do that?" Becky asked him curiously.

"This adoption is going to have to be off the books. The further I am away from it the better. So you guys do what you have to do to make sure the father signs off on the adoption. Once that's taken care of then I'll do the rest." Kofi said.

"Thanks, man. This really means a lot to us." Dean said as he shook Kofi's hand.

Becky watched skeptically as Kofi walked out of the house.

"You don't think it's weird that his is willing to help us like this?" Becky asked.

"I don't know.. I guess." Dean said.

"And he let you go after you killed Tonga.. I just don't understand why he would go out of his way for us like this. He doesn't even know us.:" Becky said.

Dean looked down at his feet and thought over what Becky had said.











On the Southside, a black SUV pulled up outside the bar. Sasha walked outside and got into the back of the car to find Miz waiting for her.

"What's this about?" Sasha asked.

"Alexa's never going to tell you this but someone knows about that night." Miz told her.

"What are you talking about?" Sasha asked in confusion.

"Someone out there knows the truth about what happened to Sanchez." Miz said.

"That's impossible. It was just the three of us there." Sasha remembered back to that night.

"I don't how but someone does know.. And when word gets out to people that respected Sanchez, they are going to come after you." Miz told her.

"That's why she's been having Murphy watch me.." Sasha said.

"You knew about that?"Miz asked.

"Yeah.. He just told me." Sasha said.

"But why would he-?" Miz began to ask.

"We've been sleeping together for weeks. Did Alexa know that when she hired him?" Sasha asked.

"No. And I wouldn't tell her now." Miz said.

"Why not?" Sasha asked.

"She's changed, Sasha.. Alexa isn't the same girl you knew from before. She's getting dangerous." Miz warned her.

Sasha looked at Miz with tears in her eyes.

"It's Lexi. She isn't dangerous." Sasha tried to tell him.

"She's killing people, you know?" Miz asked.

Sasha looked over at Miz in disbelief.

"Her latest victim was Tony Gargano. She water boarded him until he told her what he knew. And when he gave her your name she had him killed." Miz said.

Sasha looked into Miz's eyes, not wanting to believe him.

"No.. She wouldn't." Sasha tried to say.

"For you.. She would do anything." Miz told her.

Sasha looked down at her lap as a tear fell from her face.

"And if she finds out about Murphy and me.." Sasha began to say.

"She would kill him." Miz said.

Sasha closed her eyes, trying to stop herself from crying.

"I have to go." Sasha said as she opened the door.

"Be careful, Sasha." Miz said as she got out of the car.

"You too." Sasha said before shutting the door.









On the Westside, Seth pulled up to Bayley's building. They both sat there in silence for a moment as Seth parked the car.

"Today was fun.." Bayley said awkwardly.

Seth looked over at Bayley and let out a sigh.

"You should talk to Finn.. I'm sure you guys can work out whatever is going on between the two of you." Seth told her.

Bayley looked over at Seth with disappointment in her eyes.

"Yeah.. I'll do that." Bayley said as she got out of the car.

"Bayley." Seth said in frustration as she slammed the door shut.

Seth threw his head back and let out another sigh as Bayley walked into her apartment.









On the Southside, Roman had agreed to babysit Nora. They pulled up to the bar and walked inside.

"Nora!" Naomi yelled in excitement as she approached them.

Nora held out her arms as Naomi hugged her.

"I take it you're on babysitting duty for tonight?" Naomi asked.

"Yeah. Dean and Becks had something to take care of." Roman told her.

"I see. Well I was just heading out but I'll see you later?" Naomi asked as she began to walk away.

"Yeah." Roman said as he walked through the crowd of people and made his way upstairs.

"Ne-Ne!" Nora yelled in excitement as she practically jumped out of Roman's arms.

Roman watched uncomfortably as Renee picked Nora up.

"I didn't know you would be here.." Roman said.

"Miz canceled on me again so I thought I'd come to hang out with Naomi." Renee said.

"But she just left." Roman said as Nora played with Renee's hair.

"I know.. I guess you're not the only person that doesn't like to hang out with me anymore." Renee said as she put Nora down.

"Renee..." Roman said as she walked over and put on her coat.

Nora watched with disappointment as Renee opened the door to leave.

"Why don't you stay" Roman asked her.

Renee looked back at Roman in surprise.

"You want me to stay?" She asked him.

"Nora wants you to stay." Roman said.

Renee looked over at Nora and laughed.

"Right.. Nora." Renee said.

"We can order pizza.." Roman said.

Renee slowly took off her jacket and sat down on the couch.

"As long as Nora doesn't mind." Renee said as she looked over a Roman.

"Yay! Ne-Ne!" Nora yelled in excitement.

Roman laughed and watched as Nora crawled on Renee's lap. He couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart as he watched Renee with Nora.









On the Southside, Becky walked into an apartment building and knocked on a door. Suddenly, a small Latina woman answered.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Are you Zelina Vega?" Becky asked her.

"That depends, who's asking?" Zelina asked curiously.

"I'm Rebecca Ambrose. I just have a few questions about Alicia Fox." Becky told her.

"You a cop?" Zelina asked her.

"Hell no." Becky assured her.

"Then come on inside." Zelina invited her.

Becky walked inside as Zelina offered her a seat at the counter.

"Wine?" She asked.

"Sure." Becky said.

Zelina poured each of them a glass of wine.

"You were close friends with Alicia?" Becky asked.

"Yeah.. We were best friends." Zelina told her.

"She had a daughter.. Nora." Becky said.

"Yes. She was the cutest little girl I'd ever seen." Zelina said.

"Would you happen to know who the father is?" Becky asked.

"I have no idea. All Alicia ever told me was that it was a one night stand at some Northside party." Zelina said.

"Did she say where at on the Northside?" Becky asked.

"I think it was at the McMahon's mansion. She used to cater their parties from time to time." Zelina told her.

"Did she ever give you a name?" Becky asked.

"No. But I remember when Nora was born.. Alicia said she had his eyes." Zelina told her.

Becky took a sip of her wine, thinking over everything Zelina was telling her.






On the Westside, Dean knocked on an apartment door, hoping to get some answers for himself. Suddenly, Bayley opened the door. Dean froze for a slight second as he looked down at Bayley.

"You're Dean Ambrose." She said.

"Do I know you?" Dean asked her.

"No.. I've just heard a lot about you, that's all." Bayley told him.

"Okay.. Um, I'm looking for Bayley Martinez." Dean said.

"That's me." Bayley said as she let him inside.

Dean walked into the apartment cautiously.

"I came to ask a few questions about Nora Fox." Dean told her.

"Nora?" Bayley asked in surprise.

"You volunteered at her day care didn't you?" Dean asked her.

"I did." Bayley told him as they sat down at the table.

"In the file it says you were pretty close with her mother?" Dean asked.

"Not really. I mean I looked out for Nora.. Her mother was working two jobs, doing everything she could to pay the bills. I love children but there was something about Nora.. I just connected with her." Bayley told him.

"In her file it also says that you actually watched her sometimes outside of day care?" Dean asked.

"There were a few times that Alicia needed a sitter and she couldn't afford one.." Bayley said.

"So you just took care of her for free?" Dean asked her in confusion.

"Nora was just a baby then.. Her mother needed all the help she could get." Bayley said.

"And that was you? You just offered to help?" Dean asked.

"That's right." Bayley said.

Dean looked at Bayley for a second, confused by her kindness.

"Did Alicia ever talk to you about her father?" Dean asked.

"No, she never mentioned him." Bayley said.

Dean let out a sigh and looked over at Bayley.

"Okay.. Thanks." Dean said as he began to get up.

"Wait. You're leaving?" Bayley asked him.

"Yeah, I just had those few questions to ask you." Dean said.

"Why don't you sit down. I can make you a cup of coffee." Bayley said.

Dean sat back down and looked across the table at Bayley.

"How did you know my name earlier?" Dean asked her.

"I'm a friend of Seth's." Bayley told him.

Dean looked at her and laughed.

"Are you serious?" Dean asked her.

"He's told me a lot about you." Bayley said.

Dean stood up and walked towards the door.

"He misses you." Bayley said, stopping Dean in his tracks.

Dean turned around and looked at Bayley in disbelief.

"Are you fucking him or something?" Dean asked her.

"What? No. Of course not. I have a boyfriend." Bayley told him.

"Yeah.. That's never stopped him before." Dean told her as he opened the door.

"Please don't go. Not yet." Bayley said.

Dean shut the door and turned back around.

"How do you know him exactly?" Dean asked in confusion.

Bayley looked across the room at Dean with hesitance.

"He works for my father." Bayley told him.

Dean froze for a second, trying to comprehend what Bayley was telling him.

"You're telling me that you are Damien Clark's daughter?" Dean asked her.

"Yes." Bayley said.

Dean looked her up and down and thought to himself for a moment.

"Why are you telling me this?" Dean asked her.

"I don't know, actually.. I just feel like I can trust you." Bayley told him.

"Well you can't. You don't know me." Dean told her.

"I know a lot has happened between you and Seth but maybe if you just give him another chance. He deserves another chance." Bayley said.

"Like hell he does. Look I don't know what kind of lies Seth has told you but he doesn't deserve shit. He got himself where he is today and I don't feel bad for him for a second..and neither should you." Dean told her.

"He's trying to change." Bayley said.

"Well good for him." Dean said in frustration.

"You don't hate him." Bayley said suddenly.

"Excuse me?" Dean asked.

"You're getting angry right now because you care. If you hated him then what I'm saying wouldn't even phase you.. But that's not what's happening.. You are getting angry. That means you still care about him." Bayley said.

Dean looked across the room at Bayley and felt an ache in his chest.

"You don't know what the fuck you are talking about." Dean told her before opening the door and leaving.






A few streets over, Johnny, Tomaso, and Candice were having dinner downtown.

"I'm glad we are all finally back together. It's been awhile." Johnny said.

"Yeah.. It has." Candice said as she smiled over at Tomaso.

"I'll be right back. I have to use the restroom." Johnny said.

Candice watched as Johnny walked away from the table.

"You guys are still doing this same song and dance, huh?" Tomaso asked.

"Don't start." Candice said.

"You like him.. He likes you.. Why can't you guys just get together already?" Tomaso asked.

"He doesn't see me that way." Candice told him.

Tomaso looked into Candice's eyes and took a deep breath.

"How could he not?" Tomaso asked as he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Candice let out a slight smile and put her hand on Tomaso's shoulder.

"I'm glad you're here, Tomaso. I don't know what we would do without you." Candice told him.

Tomaso looked away from her quickly, trying his best to hide his emotions.

"You should just ask him out. He'llsay yes." Tomaso told her.

"What if he doesn't?" Candice asked.

"The three of us have been friends for years, Candice. And in all of that time I have never seen the two of you look at anyone the way you look at each other." Tomaso told her.

Candice took a deep breathe and looked at Tomaso with reluctance.

"If he says no then I'm blaming you." She joked.

"That's fair." Tomaso laughed.









Back at the bar, Roman and Renee had ordered pizza for themselves and Nora.

"Northside sucks!" Nora yelled playfully as she ran around the apartment.

"We probably shouldn't have given her ice cream this late at night." Roman said as he and Renee shared a laugh.

Renee looked over at Roman and took a deep breath.

"So you and Peyton.. You guys are a thing now?" Renee asked him.

Roman looked over at Renee and let out a grin.

"Why, are you jealous or something?" Roman asked her.

"What? No. I'm not jealous." She assured him.

"Right.. Because that you imply that you actually have feeling for me." Roman said as he looked into her eyes.

"Roman." Renee said as she observed his lips.

"Dean!" Nora yelled in excitement at he walked upstairs.

"Hey, sweetie." Dean said as he greeted her with a hug.

Roman and Renee looked away from each other uncomfortably. Dean picked up Nora and looked around the apartment.

"Did you guys give her ice cream?" Dean asked.

"No." Roman and Renee said at the same time.

Dean squinted his eyes as them for a second.

"Whatever." Dean said.

"Figure anything out?" Roman asked.

"Did you guys happen to see Rollins at the mayor's ball last night?" Dean asked them.

"Yeah, he was dancing with some chick." Roman said.

"Dark hair?" Dean asked.

"Yeah, she was cute." Renee added.

Dean thought to himself for a second.

"Why?" Roman asked.

"No reason." Dean said as Becky walked into the apartment.

"Becksy!" Nora said as she threw herself into Becky's arms.

"Hi, sweet girl! How was your night with Ro-ro?" Becky asked her.

"And Ne-ne!" Nora told her.

"Oh yes, I see that. Did you have fun?" Becky asked Nora.

"Lots of ice cream!" Nora told her.

Becky and Dean looked down at Roman and Renee seriously.

"Opps." Roman said as he an Renee looked away, trying their best not to laugh.






On Northside, Miz walked into the dining room to find Alexa looking at photo's.

"What's going on?" Miz asked as he saw the anger in her eyes.

"Apparently Buddy Murphy likes to use a more hands on approach when it comes to Sasha Banks." Alexa said as she threw the photos across the table.

Miz picked up the photo's and froze when he saw they were all of Buddy and Sasha together.

"Maybe it's not what it looks like." Miz tried to tel her.

"Kill him." Alexa ordered Adam.

"But ma'am-." Adam began to say.

"I want him dead! Now do your damn job and kill him!" Alexa yelled.

Adam looked at Alexa in shock for a moment.

"Yes, ma'am." Adam said.

Miz saw the discomfort of Adam's face as he walked out of the room.








On the Eastside, Seth sat on the stairs and watched Bayley dance with her father. Suddenly, someone rang the doorbell. Cody rushed over and answered the door.

"Kota?" Bayley asked in confusion as she stopped dancing.

"Give me a minute, darling." Damien said as he rushed outside.

Bayley looked over at Seth with concern as her father talked with Kota on the front porch.

"Do you know why Kota is here?" Bayley asked as she sat down next to Seth.

"No idea." Seth told her.


Kota handed Damien a file.

"Sir, I think you might want to see this." Kota told him.

Damien took the file and looked inside.

"What am I looking at?" Damien asked him.

"This is Finn Balor's original birth certificate.. Before they had the father's name removed.

Damien looked down at the birth certificate in disbelief.

"This is impossible." Damien told him.

"If that man is really his father then that means-." Kota began to say.

"I know." Damien said.

"What do you want me to do, Sir?" Kota asked him.

"I'm not sure yet.. I need some time to think." Damien said as he walked back inside.

Bayley stood up as her father returned.

"Daddy, was that Kota? What was he doing here?" Bayley asked.

Damien was still in shock at what he had learned. He looked over at Seth who was still sitting on the stairs.

"Daddy?" Bayley asked as Damien stared at Seth in disbelief.

"I need a glass of wine." Damian said.

Bayley and Seth watched in confusion as Damien walked away.






On the Souhtside, Candice, Johnny, and Tomaso were just returning from dinner.

"I think I'm going to jump in the shower." Candice said.

Johnny watched as she walked into the bathroom and waited until he heard the water start.

"She has a thing for you, you know?" Tomaso asked Johnny.

Johnny looked up at Tomaso and let out a sigh.

"That doesn't matter right now." He said as he handed Tomaso a folder.

"What's this?" Tomaso asked as he examined a photo of Alexa.

"That's Alexa Bliss.. She runs the Northside. We are going to find out what happened to my father and in the process we are going to take her down." Johnny said.

"Johnny, you can't be serious." Tomaso told him.

"People like her is what's wrong with Greenville. Without her, this town would be a hell of a lot safer." Johnny told him.

"So what is your plan here, exactly?" Tomaso asked.

"My father left me that voicemail saying that he knew who killed Adrian Sanchez. So my guess is that he confrotned that person and they killed him." Johnny said.

"So we have find out who killed Sanchez?" Tomaso asked.

"Exactly." Johnny said as he handed Tomaso a gun.

"Johnny you're kind of scaring me. This is serious shit you're getting into here." Tomaso told him.

"That's why we aren't going to tell Candice anything about this. She can't be involved.. It's too dangerous." Johnny said.

Tomaso looked up at Johnny with an uneasiness in his stomach.









Back at the bar, Roman and Renee followed Dean, Becky, and Nora downstairs to find the bar cleared out.

"What's going on?" Roman asked.

"I don't know.. Chris called and said to close the place down for the night." Sasha said.

"It's only nine thirty." Dean said as he looked at his watch.

"And he wants you guys to stick around for a bit. He wants everyone here for some reason." Sasha said as Jimmy walked inside.

"Where's Naomi?" Becky asked.

"I thought she was hanging out with you today?" Jimmy asked Becky.

"Me?" She asked.

"She was with me." Sasha blurted out.

"Then why isn't she here?" Jimmy asked.

"Um.. She-." Sasha began to say as Naomi walked into the bar.

"Hey, guys!" Naomi said.

Jimmy looked back at Naomi skeptically.

"Where have you been?" Jimmy asked her.

"I asked her to go next door to steal a few of their customer's" Sasha said as she looked over at Naomi.

Roman glanced at Sasha for a second and knew that she was lying.

"Yeah." Naomi said as she walked over and sat down at the bar.






After a silent drive back to Bayley's apartment, Seth parked the car.

"Thanks for the ride." Bayley said as she got out.

Seth thought to himself for a second before getting out of the car himself.

"Wait!" Seth yelled.

Bayley turned around on the sidewalk as Seth walked calmly towards her.

"Seth, what are you doing?" Bayley asked in confusion as he approached her.

"I forgot something." Seth said as he looked into her eyes, leaning in and kissing her slowly on the lips.

Bayley  let out a small moan as Seth grabbed her waist. She grabbed his  shoulder and held onto him tightly as she leaned in to the kiss even  more. They looked into each other's eyes lustfully as they pulled away.  Seth let out a grin as he looked down at her. Bayley tried to catch her  breath as she watched his eyes.

"Goodnight, Bayley." He said as she began to walk away slowly.

Bayley watched him as if she were under some kind of spell.

"Goodnight, Seth." Seth said under her breath as he got into the car and drove off.

She  felt her heart grow warm as a smile came across her face. Bayley walked  into her building, still feeling butterflies in her stomach. She  unlocked her apartment door, realizing that her friends were still  gone for the evening. She walked into her apartment to find Finn sitting  anxiously on her couch.

"Finn?" She asked in surprise.

"I love you." Finn said as he stood up.

Bayley looked at him from across the room in confusion.

"I shouldn't have yelled at you.." Finn said as he grabbed her hands.

She looked into his eyes, suddenly feeling guilty about her kiss with Seth.

"Finn.." Bayley tried to say.

"I  have never loved anyone the way I've loved you.. and I'm not ready to  let go of that.. Not now, not ever." Finn said as he knelt down on one  knee.

Bayley stared at him, frozen in disbelief as he pulled out a ring.

"Bayley Martinez, will you marry me?" Finn asked as she looked up at her with a smile on his face.





Back on the Southside, Buddy was watching the bar from his car when Adam knocked on his window.

"Shit, Adam! You scared the fuck out of me." Buddy told him.

"Get out of the car." Adam said.

"What?" Buddy asked in confusion.

"Get out." Adam said.

Buddy got out of the car cautiously. Suddenly, Adam held up his gun, pointing it directly at Buddy's head.

"Adam what are you doing?" Buddy asked him.

"The boss wants you gone." Adam said.

"What? Why?" Buddy asked in a panic.

"You ask too many questions." Adam said with tears in his eyes.

"Come on, man. We've been friends for years. Don't do this to me." Buddy said.

Adam closed his eyes as a tear fell from his face.

"Please." Buddy begged him.

"There's no room for weakness." Adam said as he put his finger on the trigger.











Inside the bar everyone waited impatiently for Chris to show up.

"Where the hell is he?" Roman asked.

"We really need to get Nora to sleep." Becky said.

Suddenly, Chris walked into the bar.

"You're all here." Chris said.

"What's going on, Chris?" Dean asked.

"Is everything okay?" Naomi added.

Everyone looked at Chris with confusion as he began to tear up.

"Are you crying?" Jimmy asked as a smile broke out on Chris's face.

"Someone wants to say hello to you guys." Chris said as he opened the door.

Everyone looked at the door skeptically as Chris wiped the tears from his eyes. Suddenly, a familiar face walked in the door.

"No fucking way." Roman said.

"Carmella?" Becky asked in disbelief.
