Spencer arrives and apologizes for the intrusion. He talks to the baby and goes to pick up Trina for Cam’s party.

Esme asks about Cameron and is glad she didn’t ruin his whole night. Laura says she caused damage.

She says, “Yeah damage. I can never forget.” She’s hurt people and isn’t absolved.

Laura’s letting her stay there so her grandson is safe and cared for and she knows the pain of the separation of her child.

Spencer has good reasons to distrust Esme. Laura knows being a new mom can change someone but she believes in redemption.

She hands her money in case of emergency.

They’re happy for her. It only takes 9.5 hours, Marshall mopes.

She’s having second thoughts.
