Sami shuts the door and thanks John for siding with her. He snaps he is on THEIR side not hers. As they hold hands Lani admits her recent worries to Eli and what the good doctor said. He is concerned but she feels better thanks to Sarah. He supports her all the way. They exchange I love yous ... Red nails Hope wanted to discuss the park she searched.
