Marshal gets the text that the prisoner is ready. He sets his computer and tv up to begin the video call. It's the first time Eva has seen her husband Grove since the whole mess started. Looking at Marshal when she sees Grove's battered face she gives him a ghost smile. He turns away to grin at the wall so no one can see him. Grove bows his head and starts to try to explain to his wife and kids.
"Don't believe anything that your cousin tells you. He is trying to get you to leave me just look what he did to my face. I am innocent I was set up by my secretary. She was the one who did all ove the illegal dealings. I swear I did none of what they said. You have to believe me and come get me out." By this time he is groveling and crying trying to convince Eva that she is being tricked. Her son steps where grove can see him clearly and tells his father.
"You never asked Remi's husband which cousin he was banging. You never slept with my girlfriend, you didn't have an affair with your secretary that is your first cousin. How many other siblings do I have that we don't know about. I left so I would never have to see you again. Now mom knows what kind of douche bag you are. So I for one don't care if you guilty or innocent I hope you rot in prison. You are not a human your an animal that isn't worth thinking about. I'm hope Mom divorces you and let's you rot. " he flicks his father the middle finger and takes his seat next to his Grandfather. His twin just stands up and looks at him . He starts to plead with her.
"Baby girl you know that I've always tried to give your Mom whatever she wanted that I wouldn't do the things they have said." She starts laughing and blows him a kiss.
"Good bye dad maybe now I can have friends come over without fear of you hitting on them. I am with my brother go die in jail we have this family behind us we don't need you. Mom put up with your constant degrading comments and even had us believing them until the day that I saw you for what you were. Do you know why you were caught when we were in high school. I saw you pick her up after cheer practice . I was the one who told where you two would meet. So no Mom is the innocent one and you deserve everything that happens my vote is the same ." She looks at Eva and gives her the thumbs up. Eva looks at Grove and takes a deep breath.
After talking for a while about the future Eva and her children join the others . Aisling is setting the table and Remi is pulling the lasagna out of the oven. After everyone is seated Eva makes an announcement.
"My children and I decided that we will sell the house in Chicago. The company is most likely already gone and its reputation is ruined. So there is nothing left there for us. If it's ok with Dad I would like to move back home. I know that Aisling was going to buy the house . I would like to keep things as they are now. Winona and Brayden can still live there with us. Nothing has to change from what it is now. Unless it's not ok for me to move back home. " Audis starts to say something when Aisling interrupts.
"Eva the house in Chicago is free of debt. There is no need to rush to sell it. Your mom bought it from what she received from caring for my siblings and I. The business was also run with her money from the estate. I have no problem with what you have decided but I think that it would be wise to wait till all leagal issues have been settled. That way you do not incure expenses that are not necessary. Thank you for allowing Winona to continue to live at the house with you, I have been looking at designs to completely remodel or build Marshal a new bar that will have proper space for a family. " Eva thinks a moment about Aisling's suggestions and agrees things will stay as they are for the time being. The family enjoys the rest of the evening together making sure to give Eva and the children love and support. Eva pulls Aisling aside before leaving .
"Thank you for being willing to help with the company. I want to return this to you since I won't be needing it at the moment. I owe you a lot I know and I'm just not sure how to pay you back. I know my mom only took the money from the inheritance because of me. If I had known I would not have been so resentful for so many years. For that I'm sorry, I listened to Grove and let him change how I thought about things for so long." Aisling hugs Eva and tells her.
"No harm done, there has been a number of misunderstandings over my inheritance. I at a early age was entrusted with more responsibility than most and I needed to burden your mom and the other elders for guidance. I never resented giving them money for taking care of my siblings and I . Just like I have never hesitated giving money to the family. It's just that not everyone is a good steward of their financial circumstances. So before I blindly give money I always check what is the real need and how is the best way to help. I'm not sorry that I had the attorney and Yona investigate your husbands business. Since I did we were able to ensure that you would not harmed and dragged with him . If I had blindly given you the money it would have been seen as we were involved with the company's money laundering business. You would have been investigated and possibly been sent to jail as well. By helping the police with the investigation we were able to keep you out of it. My goal is not to just make the families life easy. It's to protect them from themselves and those out to hurt them. The inheritance I received was given to protect the family not to frivolously throw it away so that the family does not have to work. If we don't work or help in the community we grow lax and stagnant. We stop growing and we stop caring. If we don't protect what we have our future generations won't have anything and we will teach. Them bad habits , habits and values that could put them on a path to destruction. That is why I don't just give what people expect and ask for . If they are not willing to work for something and expect a handout. Then they have nothing that is truly theirs nothing to take pride in. You have always been a wonderful example of what a mother and wife should be. You have always taken wonderful care of your home and children. That is something to be proud of . So what if you wound up being deceived by someone you thought you could trust and who you loved. You never lost sight of what was important your children and your core values. I was to young to make the decision about your house and business your mom never used what was not meant for her to help you. If I had been older I would have given it anyway. I'm glad that she gave you what you needed to take care of your family. It's what I would have done anyway. I love you cousin and will always be here to help ."
Eva hugs Aisling her eyes glistening with unshed tears, her heart is touched by what Aisling said. She knows her cousin has only the well being of those around her at heart. Even if she doesn't need to ever share a dime she always does when it's needed. They say good night and head back to Audis's house. Astila comes up from behind his wife and embraces her.
"So if what you say is true then my family is taking advantage of your kindness and living off you. That needs to change." Aisling turns her head to look at him puzzled.
"Hmm I don't think so, Inola and Onacona are caretakers of our farm they work hard everyday so that you do not need to do any repairs or yard work. That is a job an important job by the way. Salali is acting as house keeper and nanny once the babies come so how is that not a job. If it was not for them when would I get to sleep or rest. They work very hard for what we give them. You know it won't be long and Salali May leave us for her own family then I may need to give up working. So don't spout such nonsense." Standing on tiptoes she kisses him and takes his hand guiding her husband upstairs for the night.
