The truth is, he believes he deserves to be locked up for what he did to Mel and the fact that he killed a man. He will never take another pill. He now talks atonement.

She understands if he feels hostile and insists she did not intend to lead him on. He bitterly states she only cared for a few days and played him like a jackass. She claims she did want them to ... He retorts did she want him to fall for her again as an ego boost?! She reminds him that she is the mother of two of his children. Lucas is bitter she ran away with EJ. She insists EJ is innocent. Lucas drawls her actions showed him only too loud and clear that she had moved on.

Hope insists this is her decision and she is truly sorry about the bad timing. Mel quietly cries and turns back to face Chad, who has read the parole board letter. He suddenly realizes why she came home, why Maggie was concerned, and appears hurt she did not confide in him. He emotionally declares he wants to help but she is shutting him out.
