Ashley can’t believe the lengths her alters were willing to go to protect her – Miss Abbott would have killed Tucker, she repeats. Traci empathizes with how Alan must be feeling. Martin became someone he didn’t recognize – this was inevitable. So, what happens now? Ashley wonders.
The sun’s now up and Alan’s arm’s in a sling as the trio arrive at Ashley’s apartment after telling the police their story. Traci asks Alan to be as gentle with himself as he’s been with her sister. He agrees with Ashley that she’s not ready to go home – you won the war but the battle’s not over yet.
Unable to sleep, Tucker answers his phone and is instantly fired up – I said I’d deal with it later! ~click~ Arghhhh! he shouts in frustration.
Alan tells Ashley that Martin triggered the release of her alters but they were likely created from intense childhood trauma. Nope – Ashley’s NOT going to an institution! Alan strongly suggests she check into the clinic he sits on the board of. The sooner the better. Jack calls to check in – how are you? How’s Ashley? Traci chokes up – I wish you were here.
Traci tells Jack that Ashley’s situation is mostly resolved – hearing your voice makes everything better. He reassures Ashley that she’s safe and will be alright. Her emotions all over the place, Traci places her hand over Alan’s as she continues to ease his guilty conscience. Ashley tells ‘Jackie’ that Alan wants her to check into a facility. Jack will support whatever his brave sister decides. Love you ~click~ Ashley rejoins Alan and Traci to say that she’s ready to continue their work.
