   In the visitation room at the ALPD,Desi looks at Rachel and asks with frustration"What do you mean?"Rachel looks at her Mother and says to her in anger"I have finally let some skeletons out of the closet.I never want to live in denial and follow your fine example."Desi asks her daughter"Why are you even here Rachel?To see me behind bars?Does that make you happy?Does it?"Rachel tells her with tears forming"All I ever wanted was for you to be my Mom.I also wanted your love and support.You never gave that to me."Desi is silent and Rachel continues"When you caught Rodney,all you did was stand there.You didn't even do anything except book me a flight to Boarding School."Desi looks at Rachel and says in an angry tone"Rodney is dead now.Don't disrespect your Father."Rachel gets angry and yells at the top of her lungs"I am glad that sick bastard is burning in hell!You always ran away when there was a problem or if someone didn't meet your standards or agree with you,you turned the other cheek,even to your own child."Desi's face turns red and she yells"You were always a problem.I wish everyday you would have never returned home."Rachel tells her Mother,looking her in the eyes and tells her"You deserve what you have now.In a way it gives me peace and I can promise my child will never have to endure the hell I had to endure from you and my sperm donor."Desi is shocked and asks"Are you pregnant?"Rachel walks towards the door and says"Yes I am and the only thing I know and can promise is that my child will have one thing I never had and that's love.I'm done with you.I hope you rot in here."Rachel walks out and Desi is escorted by the jailer back to her cell and has a flashback and shakes her head and looks up.

X.The man I fell in love with wouldn't have went to these lengths to do what you've done."Xavier tells Leigh"When I watched you die in Paris and I couldn't save you,I vowed that moment that I wouldn't let that happen again!This isn't Blue Ridge Leigh.Like I told you,when I returned home,I had a lot of responsibilities and many people,even family,out to take my Father's legacy.I did what he would have done and that's why I am in charge of Jackson Inc and the head of the family."Leigh looks at Xavier and tells him"I understand X.I do.But Cecelia doesn't and she has alot to adjust as well as I."Xavier gives Leigh a hug and assures her"With you here now,I feel whole again."Leigh assures Xavier"I'm not going anywhere X.We will work all of this out."Leigh closes her eyes for a moment and has a look of pain.Xavier asks her"Are you ok?"Leigh tells him"I have these headaches recently.I don't understand why."Xavier grows concerned and tells Leigh"Mother should be home soon.She'll know what's going on."Xavier hugs Leigh and holds her close.
