Grace: No, no, this is not your fault. This is not your fault. From the moment that plane landed,
(Cal and ally walk in cal has his arm around ally making sure she's ok)
you wanted to walk back into this family like no time had passed. And I get that, because for you, it hadn't. And you wanted the family that we had built. And I don't know what I want. But no matter what I do, I'm the bad guy, and I'm tired of it.
