Hey, are you okay?
Um, no, no. Everything is not okay.
I just got texts from Mickey's friends

the hospital for a movie night.
What?
That sounds like a lie.

Troy came here?
He thinks that I'm
sneaking around with Ken
and asked me to stay
away from his family.
Okay, I am not a home wrecker, Hannah.
The only reason I came back here
was because it was my
little brother's dying wish
for me to take care
of Mickey, my nephew.
And now I am fucking all of that up too.
Shira, no.
No, you're not.
Please don't.
Please don't go away again.

[BRAD] "Dear Antoine, it's
funny how a stupid prank
changed my life forever.
If Shira hadn't shoved
me into Bat Lady's house,
I wouldn't have known
about Abeona or met Kitty,
and we never would have had Mickey.
As important as the kids
we've helped have been,
no kid is more important
to us than Mickey.
Kitty and I want to leave Abeona,
and that's why I'm asking for your help,
because we both know
how hard it is to leave.
I hope Abeona accepts our decision,
but I fear what might
happen if she doesn't."
