After the Louds were kicked out of Luan's hospital room, they went home and sat in the living room. There decision to send Lori to jail really bit them on their butts...seeing how Lori wanted nothing to do with them. Not like they can blame her since their decision almost cost Lori her life. If it wasn't for Luan then Lori would surely be dead which wouldn't sit well with Lincoln since he cared for all of his sisters no matter what they did to him.

"Sigh...That was a disaster." Lucy said.

"Yes..it was and we only have ourselves to blame." Luna said.

"But she bashed Lincoln with a lamp!" Lola said.

"No one is saying that she didn't do that Lola. However...She was forced to act that way by her boyfriends...no, her ex-boyfriend's scheme to make it rich." Leni said.

"We should have never sent her to jail in the first place. If we didn't then maybe Luan wouldn't have gone crazy and Lori wouldn't hate us." Rita said.

"But Mom...She..." Lynn started, but stopped once Leni glared at her.

"Lori could've died in prison because of our actions Lynn. If she did then Bobby would've gotten rich off of her death and we would've been crushed by an insane amount of guilt. And imagine what would happen once Lincoln learned about what we did and the end result...He would hate us." Leni said.

"But he wouldn't..." Lynn said to herself.

"Yes he would. He cares for all of us and to learn that we sent one of our family to the prison only to have her die...It would crush his heart." Luna said.

"Sigh...We really messed up badly didn't we." Lana said. Everyone went silent knowing that it was true. Now they lost the love and trust of another one of their siblings/daughters....and they may never be able to regain it. 

At the same time, Lori went to the vending machine to get something to eat when she felt someone tap her back. When she turned around she saw that it was...Ronnie Anne Santiago. 

"Why are you here Ronnie Anne?" Lori asked.

"To see how you're doing." Ronnie Anne said.

"I'm doing fine Ronnie Anne...but why are you worrying about me? Shouldn't you worry about your brother?" Lori asked.

"Because we're both victims of Bobby's scheme to make money also if I did see Bobby...I would try to hurt him since he made me do things that I'm not proud of." Ronnie Anne said. 

"What are you talking about?" Lori said.

"Sigh...Before this incident, I wanted to make friends with Lincoln since he was the brother of my brother's girlfriend." Ronnie Anne said.

"You have a funny way of showing it. You bullied my brother and even gave him a black eye." Lori said.

"Not by choice....Bobby said that he'll kill me if I didn't bully Lincoln." Ronnie Anne said.

"K..Kill you?!l" Lori said.

"Yes. At first I didn't believe it before he said that he killed before." Ronnie Anne said.

"What?! Bobby killed someone before?" Lori said.

"Yes...Before I entered the Elementary school...Bobby was apart of a gang. He killed multiple people and even took the fingers of each victim. He even showed me what he did with those fingers..." Ronnie Anne said.

"So I'm guessing that he made you pretend that you're upset when Lincoln made those comments too?" Lori asked. Ronnie Anne nodded and Lori felt her heart break at the sight of her saddened expression. Could she really blame Ronnie Anne for placing her brother in the hospital if she was forced to take part in her ex's scheme? No....She couldn't. So Lori hugged Ronnie Anne and whispered something in her ear....

I'm sorry for everything that your brother made you do.

After she whispered that, Ronnie Anne started to cry which made Lori slowly rub her hand on Ronnie Anne's back. She hoped that she could help Ronnie Anne with the problems stemming from her brother's actions. Unaware that someone heard everything that was said and was trying to cool down her rage. She had a few choice words with Bobby and the talk wouldn't be pretty.
