"Can you just go to the Motel, please."
Jane follows everyone back in Maura's place.
"Maura, I'm so sorry."
"It's OK" replies Maura
"No it's not."
"He doesn't know what's gone on since he left." replies Tommy
"Don't make excuses for him." says Frankie
"Did you know about this?" asks Jane
"He just wants to make amends."
"Oh, for goodness sake Tommy." replies Jane
"What...why are you all mad at me?"
"You introduced him to Lydia." replies Frankie
"That's enough" shouts Angela "This is not Tommy's thought."
"So what do we do?" Frankie asks
"Ma, I'll go see him."
"No, Jane" replies Angela
"It's OK, I'll just find out what he wants."
The next night.
"Dad, what are you doing here...are you drunk?"
"No." replies Frank
Jane sighs
"I said I'd meet you at the motel, tomorrow."
"I need to talk to you it's important."
"Yea well, I'm not ready to talk to you." replies Jane
"Please Janey"
"You come here after leaving ma for some bimbo."
"I didn't leave your ma for Lydia, It happened after"
"And to top it off you call my best friend people...she's family"
"Jane I am sorry, for everything. I will apologise to Maura, I promise. I know what she means to you."
"What she means to this family." replies Jane
"Can we go inside?"
After the episode.
Angela is asleep at the end of the couch.
"Are you OK?"
Jane wipes her face with both hands and nods.
Maura takes a box of tissues and hands them to Jane.
"Thanks."
She rests her head on Maura's shoulder as they settle down to watch the rest of the movie.
