Episode: "Sympathy for the Estranged"
==1992==
"Mother!" a voice laughs as a girl runs down a staircase, a white glistening portrait within the palms of her hands. "Look what I found!" she laughs while handing the framed picture within her hand before her mother responds swiftly. "W-... What is this Melissa?" she demands as she takes a step towards her, her face dropping before her skin begins to curdle. "B-... But, Mona did it..." she whispers as Mona stands beside the stairwell, looking down upon the two behind the wooden railing that separates the two. Melissa's face turns into envy for a slight second before tugging on her mother's sleeve "Are you going to do it?" she asks before her mother pushes her to the side, "Up stairs now!" she yells as Mona is quick to respond, her whimpering being heard as she echoes out into the landing above. Melissa takes a seat on the couch below, she smiles to herself before taking a small pen, she begins to draw upon the glass before erasing the image of Mona's face from the portrait.
==Present Day==
Olivia's head remains bruised, she tosses and turns within the bed she is chained too as her wrists begins to bleed. Her whimpering remains shallow as the tossed back curtains allow only the smallest light through, she glances up towards the walls above before sighing to herself as the man below her begins to laugh as he admires the tv he presents himself with. "What are you doing?!?!" a voice yells as a tall woman appears through the door, Liam becoming startled almost instantly as he attempts to get to his feet. He scrambles towards the staircase as he attempts to climb as the woman drops two bags of groceries onto the table. "I told you to keep an eye on her. Is that too hard to get into that thick skull of yours?" she laughs as she pushes herself against him. Liam's face turns into concern as the woman grows closer "M-... Mother I'm sorry. I won't do it again, promise!" he begs as he scrambles up the staircase, "Let that be a lesson to you! You know where your sister ended up, don't make me send you there aswell!" she yells before exiting the room.
==1994==
Mona sits quietly in her room, the light is dimmed to a minimal level as cheers come from below. Her sister laughs as her mother hums until a few knocks come at her door. Mona approaches the tall door as a voice peers through "Mona... I-... I can't sleep" Liam says as he crawls into Mona's bed, "Liam we'll get in trouble!" she panics as the music below pauses, Melissa's voice stops and everything falls silent. "Liam! They're coming!" Mona panics as she pleads for her brother to move, however he doesn't understand. "What is this?" a voice yells as her mother climbs through the door, she pushes past Mona as she glares between the two, "I told you to go to bed, I never told you to have a sleepover now did I?" she yells before taking Mona by the ear, she drags her towards a room as Mona begins to scream "Please! Please, anything but there!" she begs as her mother pauses "Maybe you shouldn't be the slut you made me then uh! Everything went wrong because of you and that bastard in there!" she yells before pushing her into a small room, Mona's screams are drained out as her crying begins to seep through the door. "Mother..." Melissa calls as her attention turns, startling Melissa almost instantly by the cold glare she gave. "Back downstairs... NOW!" she screams as Melissa quickly moves down, her head turns back to the door before turning the small handle, Mona's face appears from the darkness as her head rises up. "Please..." Mona begs as her mother lowers herself, gently placing her hand upon her cheek before placing a firm grip upon her hair. "This is your fault!, ALL OF YOU! This is your fault!" she repeats as she strikes Mona's face and head against the wall before getting to her feet and striking Mona with her foot several times over, Mona's body laying limp as her head rises in fear, her blooded nose and her swollen eyes and cheeks shine bright before her mother spits down upon her.
Several months later, a barking comes from the backyard, Melissa dances in the luscious greens of the neighborhood as their mother washes the dishes. Mona lingers from her upstairs window as she looks down towards the puppy before smiling at it, only to be interrupted by the voice of her mother as she drags Liam outside to Melissa "What is this?" Mona listens to as her mother begins to tap Melissa on the head several times, "Don't tell me you've gone simple too?" she asks, referring to Liam in the question. Melissa's face drops before quietly responding "I-... I thought we could have something nice...." she says before her mother strikes her, she grabs a firm grip on the puppy before dragging it inside, Melissa's screams can be heard as she attempts to follow her inside. Liam stands motionless on the lawn, he watches through the doors before collapsing onto the ground in tears, his screams alerting the neighbors as they all gather on the street around the house. Mona's eyes dwindle as the dying sounds of the puppy spread throughout the house, many neighbors standing in awe as the mother reappears.
==1998==
Beautice Sundae, newcomer to Lockwood's correctional facility sits at her new desk as the main entrance begins to open, before a tall woman begins to enter. She walks towards the desk before dragging Liam along next to her. "Ahhh, Mrs Henstridge is it?" Beautice asks before the mother gives a disgusted glare towards Beautice "No, I'm divorced" she angrily says before Beautice proceeds' to apologies "Miss Joone then?, Emilia Joone?" she asks before Emilia nods, "Thats me" she states before Beautice rises from her desk, a voice however coming from the other side of the room as Mona begins to enter "Mother! Please, we can work things out. He doesn't need to come here, he's barely a child!" Mona begs, now a teenager. Emilia's eyes then wander towards Mona and back to Liam before Beautice steps forward, "So, who's the terminally disabled child Miss?" she asks before Emilia pauses. Her hand hovers towards Liam before she grabs a hold of Mona "But... Mother!" she screams, startling Liam who doesn't understand. Beautice nods before taking a hold of Mona, Emilia's eyes begin to fill with tears before pausing "You'll do fine here... I know you will. You were always smarter than me." Emilia states before hugging her daughter once more, Emilia stands before taking a hold of Liam and exiting the building once again. "It's ok sweetheart, I'll take care of you..." Beautice says as she escorts her to her room, inside another girl lays upon her bed "Jalpoor, you have a roommate" Beautice says before Kaylien sits up, "Oh great, fresh meat. She won't last long" Kaylien says, rolling her eyes as Beautice smiles, she urges Mona to enter before closing the door behind her.
==Present Day==
The long vehicle draws up beside the Lockwood Correctional facility, Emilia's eyes drops as her face turns pale. Emily leans forward from the back seat as Iza remains motionless, "We can go in and get them if you want?" she asks before Emilia shakes her head in disagreement, "I'm her mother. I'm the only one able to discharge her..." Emilia says as Lexi smiles, Emilia exits the car as she begins to approach the building, Iza following behind her as the two glass panel doors open before her. Beautice sits at the desk once again, her head rising as Emilia enters "Twenty Eight years..." Beautice says as Emilia slowly proceed's to the desk, "I'm here for Mona" Emilia asks as Beautice laughs in disappointment "You left her here for twenty eight years, we checked her and nothing was wrong. You lied" she angrily says as Emilia's eyes drop "C-... Can I see her?" she asks before Beautice nods "You can try, but I don't think she would want to see you right now. She's with Melissa, atleast she had the dignity to turn up every so often" Beautice says before pushing a key into Emilia's hand. Iza watches this happen, her face becoming darker as she attempts to hold back. The two proceed towards a door, opening it to see Melissa and Mona sitting at a small desk, Kaylien in the corner reading a magazine. "My god, she actually showed her face" Melissa laughs as Emilia pauses "You make me sick" Melissa states before taking her purse, "Mona, I'm leaving I can't bare to be in this same room as this piece of trash" she says before giving her sister a hug before departing from the room, "Don't let the door hit you on your way out" Iza whispers as Melissa coldly stares at her before exiting. Mona adjusts herself, her hair becoming curled as her eyes pierce through Emilia's guilt. "I know why your here..." Mona whispers before raising her head and turning to Emilia and Iza, Kaylien standing at that moment "Now, you give us what we want" Kaylien asks before Emilia's head shifts, her eyes turning to Iza before a smile forms upon Iza's face.
