Luke looks at his daughter and his niece and although he can see Anita in Salena she also reminds him of Lizzy. "Bo, I have seriously screwed up." Luke says. "I'd say so." Bo answers. At Daisy's House Lizzy hugs Vid tighter and looks at the ceiling. "You mom was right. It's not good to show everything you're thinking and feeling but when you're with family it's best to let it out because other wise it'll tear you apart. I don't want to see that happen to you doll. Just let it out." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

The doctor looked at the ankle then ran some X-rays and when they finished processing it turned out the ankle was not broken but deeply sprained. "Since it is a sprain and not a break we'll have you keep your ankle wrapped for the next week and a half so it can heal and you must at all costs stay off of it. We'll get you some crutches but it's best if you find a comfortable spot in your house and stick to it for a week. I want you to come see me in seven days and we'll see how you're doing." The doctor said. Cue anyone.

"I know it's hard Daisy but you'll pull through I promise." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"I promise Luke ain't gonna hurt you and...if I did take custody I'd make sure she'd be able to see her Aunt Daisy. You'll see her as much as you see Molly and will see this new baby. Just cause she's my niece don't change nothing." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"Then you know what I'm going through." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"You sure? You know you can tell me anything." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"What's wrong Daisy?" Lizzy asks. Cue anyone.

Meanwhile Luke had found his way back to his uncle's house and sat down at the kitchen table. Uncle Jesse sat across from him watching him carefully. "How did you do it Uncle Jesse?" Luke asks. "Do what?" "Raise four little ones alone?" "For a while there I had your aunt." "But still...for most of the time you made it through with just yourself looking after us." "By the time it was just the five of us, you and Bo had both picked up jobs. Three incomes for part of it, made it easier. What's this about Luke?" "I can't do it." "The baby, plus Molly and Salena you fear you'll let them down." Uncle Jesse said. "I've always been able to do everything. I've never had to lean on anyone and now..." "That's why you said no. To Vidalia." "Four kids, three little ones and Salena's schooling next year. We won't make it through the first semester." "Have you told Lizzy this?" "Of course not...then I saw how unhappy Lizzy was when Daisy and Enos signed the forms I just...I lost it." "You threatened her." "Ever since we found out that Julie's father wasn't a Duke it's like everything's falling apart. I haven't felt this lost since Nam Uncle Jesse and I don't know what to do." Luke ran his hands through his hair and scratched his scalp. "I don't want to lose Julie or Lizzy or even Daisy but...This new baby, Vidalia, Brian's problems...I'm gonna lose her." "Only because you don't let her know what's going on. There we times I thought your Aunt and I would lose everything even with all I did to stop it but...she was a stubborn woman. When she saw me changing she got right up in my face and forced me to tell her what was going on. I think that saved our marriage more than anything. She wouldn't let me get away with anything." "I just...I'm so used to having all the answers, being able to think myself and others out of problems that when I don't have the answer..." "Answer me seriously Luke. Are you scared of becoming your father?" "My father?" Luke questions. "You see what's happening to Brian and I think you're honestly scared of setting a bad example for Vidalia and you think you won't be able to hack it like your father couldn't and you'll cause Lizzy pain." Uncle Jesse clarifies. "I guess that's part of it but...my bank account has been draining so fast with just Molly that I'm not sure it can sustain all five of us." "Your bank account? Have you even considered asking Lizzy how she stayed above the water without you?" "What do you mean?" "Lizzy's made it three months in Atlanta without you just her and Molly and obviously she didn't go bankrupt. Would you have a problem with her supporting you?" "It's not supposed to work like that." Luke says. "Just think about it Luke." Uncle Jesse says standing. "These times they are a changing and turn the light out when you're done." Cue anyone.

"I think you need to leave David." Lizzy says standing. Cue anyone.

Lizzy pulled Vidalia on to her lap and hugged her. "I have no idea why he doesn't want you. I really wish I did. Vid you have to know that I love you with all of my heart and I'll do what ever you want that will make you happy." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"You little..." Lizzy starts. Cue anyone.

"I'm not sure I want to take custody from her until I'm sure everything works out between me and Luke...I'm real sorry about what I said Daisy but...I don't know she's flesh and blood how can I just give her up." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"I'm sorry Daisy." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

Lizzy comes in and sits down at the kitchen table. "You may have a point." Lizzy says thinking back to the scene Luke had created when he showed up. He had pounded on the door for ten minutes straight before he stopped then walked away. When Lizzy had left her home his suitcase was gone along with the spare car. Cue anyone.

"Trust me I checked my car it's completely clean." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"Dad gave Brian almost everything he asked for, why would he give it all up for something so stupid. It was weird because I know my dad and I know he would have checked over Brian often. He must have been smoking it if he was using it. There's no other way. The other two would leave traces." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"Things could have gone really bad but we're lucky they didn't. If it is drugs Julie he could be in the pen for quite a while I really hope it isn't but maybe he'll kick it in there." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"My brother is an odd one I'll admit, he's got his whole life ahead of him and he throws it away. I don't understand him. Salena is here for now and I know Uncle Jesse will take him in I just hope he'll get more out of Luke than I can." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"I don't know why Julie, I really wish I did. He was really off when I told him about the baby as well. It's like he's scared or something. I wish he'd tell me but until he does he's gonna have to find somewhere else to stay." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"Bo if you don't stay out of it I'm gonna say something I really regret with our wedding less than a week away." Lizzy says. Cue anyone.

"Like I told him, Brian can rot in jail for all I care and Luke isn't here. He won't be until he can come to his senses and tell me why the hell he made me choose." Lizzy says snapping the suitcase closed. Cue anyone.

"Bo shut up and stay out of this." Lizzy snaps. Cue anyone.
