Bette ”What do you mean found off the coast???”

Joyce ”I mean…Bette.  Oh, Christ…I don’t how to break this to you, but…”

Bette ”Is Tee okay?  What about Kit???  What about…”

Joyce ”The bodies…have been recovered, but…”

Bette ”Recovered…”

Bette has watched or listened to enough news to understand the context of, ”recovered.”  Grief now strikes at her.

Bette ”…Jesus.”

Joyce ”Bette…where are you?”

Bette cannot speak.  Her mouth is open, but no words are able to form at first.

Joyce ”Bette?”

Bette ”…I….I’m…I uh…I’m on my way home.”

Joyce ”Bette…I’m sor-”

Joyce suddenly hears nothing on the other end.  She looks at her phone and realizes that Bette has hung up.

Elsewhere in the air.

Peggy and Marilyn arrived together, but they have left in separate planes with Peggy covering Marilyn’s expenses to fly back to Canada.  She wants to be alone right now.  She wants to get to Los Angeles.  She wants to talk to Whit and she wants answers upon her arrival.  She also wants a miracle she knows is not likely, given the news.

Ivan’s.

Tonight is meant to be relaxation, including a game of pool in the pool room with Dax.  Ivan’s phone rings.

Ivan ”Your shot.”

Dax ”You seem to be in a good mood tonight.”

Ivan ”Hey, it’s been a busy week and now I get to unwind.”

Dax ”It’s a good thing we are.  More than can be said for those people at the beach, man.”

Ivan ”What happened at the beach?”

Dax ”This plane…crashed right into the ocean.”

Dax takes her shot on the pool table, sinking a ball in the pocket.

Dax ”They’re sayin’ no survivors.  I forget how many on board, but it belonged to Helena Peabody.  Ever heard of her?”

Ivan ”Um…yeah.  I think she and Kit became friends from what I heard.”

Dax ”You heard from Kit lately?”

Ivan ”Nope.”

Dax takes another shot with her pool stick.

Ivan ”My shot.”

Ivan walks around, looking for the perfect position to strike.

Ivan ”Ever since I bought into The Planet, I just send a check and that’s it.  Only talked once after that and it didn’t end well.”

Dax ”Yeah, you told me about that.”

Ivan ”Then you know.”

Jenny’s.

Lara consoles Carmen on the couch.  Lara is able to contain her emotions while Carmen is flushed with them.  The door to the living room opens.  Lara looks over to see Shane.  Carmen looks up, now seeing Shane as well.  Shane sees the two of them.  She closes the door behind her.
