Ramon is alone at the lake and looks at the place they found Diana.
  It's been almost a week and he still can't believe that the mother of his child has become a suicidal deeply depressed person.
   He then receives a message from Sean.
  Coach is looking for him and he goes back to school.
 
  School.

  Ramon arrives and meets with Sean and Coach.
  Coach tells them...

   'You two are my best players. We have a problem so listen...
  School wants to cut our budget in half and give some of it to have more guidance counselors since suicide rate has gone up in the last 2 years.'

  'And what can we do about it?'

'Take the team as their leader and go claim back our budget.'

  Sean sees that Ramon is not certain on what to choose.
  He says to the coach...

  'Maybe those money are really needed for the counselors coach, you can't ask from Ramon to make that choice.'

  'Shut up Tucker.
Seems like the time you spent at that rehab center made you a complete pussy.'

  Ramon listens to that and before Sean can hit the coach.
He gets between them and stops the fight.

  'I'm so tired of you coach, you're only here for the money, you never cared about the team and you're the biggest racist I have ever seen.'

  'Why don't you quit the team if you can't stand me Tucker?'

  'Because I'm not going to leave my family in your hands bastard.'

  Sean leaves and Coach reminds Ramon to make the right choice and support the team.
 
  School cafeteria.
5 minutes later.

  Alexis, George, Olivia and Noah are sitting at the school's cafeteria and talk about the latest events...
  Olivia says...

  'It must be so hard for you guys.
I mean, I barely knew Diana and I was horrified with what I saw.'

'Well as her oldest companions it was definitely not the best view.'

  Alexis says...

  'It's not just that. Ever since that night, Ramon is acting really weird.
He thinks about their daughter 24/7.'

  'Even though Diana is my sister, I don't blame him, she is in no position to be a mother right now.'

  'You're right, how are your parents handling it?'

  'They have her closed in her room or sending her for more counseling.
  Personally I don't see her getting any better.'
