"I can't believe Niles blames himself for what happened to Mrs. Sheffield," Fran told Val later

"I know right," Val said, "It wasn't his fault. It was an accident."

"Thank you Val," Fran said, "You understand that and I understand that. Hell even Mr. Sheffield understands it so why can't Niles"

"Is there a video of the accident somewhere," Val asked.

"I don't know,' Fran said, "I would doubt it. Why would there be?"

"Well were there witnesses?"

"Val I wasn't there when the accident happened," Fran reminded her

"I know. I know. I know. I just wish there was some way to prove to Niles it wasn't his fault"

Fran looked up.

"Val you're a genius," she said excitedly, "You gave me an idea"

"I'm a genius? Can you tell my parents that," Val said
