"What?" Helena cried, "what! No, no mum you can’t do this!"

"I already made the decision."

"No! You can’t die!" Helena cried.

"I’m in pain Helena," Peggy said, "these machines are only prolonging my pain."

Helena started sobbing and Max held her.

"I have hours left," Peggy said, "and I want to spend it with you. I don’t want you to cry darling."

"I don’t want to lose you mummy," Helena cried.

"Do you want me to suffer?"

"No of course not."

"Then let me have a peaceful, painless death," Peggy said.

"Mum I could never accept this," Helena said.

"But you have to," Peggy said, "so either you can cry and grieve or give the best last hours you can."

Helena’s sobs only got harder as she gently laid her head on Peggy’s chest and hugged her.

West Hollywood

Tina paced around the room angrily, "ooo that Kelly Wentworth bitch is so lucky I’m a suspect for Jenny’s murderer cause seriously I wanna kick her ass!"

"Tina don’t talk like that okay, we’re in enough trouble as it is,"Bette said a little irritated.

"How do you want me to remain calm about this?" Tina snapped, "she came into my house while I was away and my daughter was asleep upstairs drunk as a mother fucker, and tried to make out with my girlfriend!"

"But I pushed her away," Bette said.

Tina scoffed, "this whole time I thought I was the only one who had a motive because Jenny stole the negatives of the movie and nearly ruined my career, but I had no idea you had a motive as well."

"Look just because Jenny blackmailed me with a bullshit video doesn’t mean I killed her," Bette said.

Tina immediately sat down across from Bette on the bed. "I know you didn’t kill Jenny," Tina said, "I never doubted that."

"I’m not worried about me," Bette said, "I know I’m innocent. I’m worried about you."

"Me?"

"Tina, this damn situation gives you a second motive," Bette said, "Jenny was threatening your girlfriend and your family with a lie, that’s a fucking motive."

"And you know I didn’t kill Jenny right?" Tina said.
