He pecks her lips as he says, "I won't be long." She nods at him and he walks away. Having just filled out the paperwork about her injury; she's sure of why he's mad. But she wants to let him say it to her first, instead of trying to force him to talk.

After finding the restroom he uses the facilities, and after washing his hands; he heads for the door to rejoin his wife. His thoughts begin to swirl; he feels himself getting angry and he knows he needs to reign in how he's feeling, before he says something regrettable. His thoughts are interrupted as his phone rings.

Relieved when he sees the caller ID, he answers and says, "Hey dad." From the moment Jerry hears his son's voice he knows something is wrong. His smile fades, and his original reason for calling him is no longer a concern. He worriedly asks, "What's wrong son?"

Fitz explains to his father that Olivia is hurt, and it happened as a result of the play made by Edison. Jerry understands his son's anger. He feels like he should've defended his wife, and that he's allowing Edison's behavior to go unchecked. He knows this situation is more so bothersome for him because of Edison's past with Olivia.

Jerry mindfully asks, "Son, is Liv okay?" Fitz sighs as he says, "Yes for the most part she's fine. We haven't seen the doctor yet though." Jerry replies, "Well, let's hope the X-rays are negative and she's up and around soon." Fitz nods as he says, "Yeah I'm hopeful of that dad. But what do I do about this feeling? I can't shake it." Jerry takes a breath as he says, "You mean the feeling that makes you want to whip Edison's ass?"

He nods as he says, "Yes. That's the one." Jerry responds, "I wish I could tell you that it will go away son. But to be honest it won't. It may lessen over time, but it will never go away." Fitz says, "Dad that's not helping me." He replies, "I know it may feel like it's not helpful to hear that. But it's the truth. He hurt Liv and she's your wife now. So you'll never like the guy or probably ever be able to stand him, those are just the facts son."

Fitz desperately asks, "So you're saying I'm destined to end up catching an assault charge and losing my job because of that asshole?" Jerry responds, "Only if you let it get that far will that happen. What you have to do son is always keep things in perspective. You're more than your emotions, and you've won the battle and the war; you got the girl remember."

Fitz sighs as he says, "That doesn't feel like it's enough dad. I don't know if I can remain logical around him after this." Jerry responds, "I hear what you're saying. But the alternative is you alienating your wife, by you acting out in her defense when she doesn't need that from you. Trust me, if you lash out at him it won't be a good thing for you with Liv. She'll feel like you're fighting over her as if she's a possession, and women like her and your mom don't appreciate that."

Fitz hears his father slip his mom into the conversation, which leads him to ask, "Are you speaking from experience here dad?" Jerry replies, "Yeah. I am. A long time ago a guy your mom dated before me came back into the picture and I knew what his game plan was from the start. Despite him passing himself off as someone who was just trying to be a friend to her." Fitz says, "I'm sure that ticked you off." Jerry says, "Yeah it did especially when I tried to tell your mom about his motives and she shut me down, dismissing me as being jealous. She was right I was being jealous, but I was also right about him."

Fitz curiously asks, "So what happened?" He replies, "Well, in a nut shell I allowed my jealousy to override my common sense and I beat the hell out of the guy. I almost lost your mom over that stupid act. Because she knew it was more about my pride than it was about her safety. I should've just told her how I felt about her taking the job he offered her."

Fitz asks, "So he invested in her business?" Jerry says, "Yeah. That's how they reconnected. He hired her for an extravagant runway show, and it was just after she'd opened her first store. I knew the opportunity was huge for her. So I let it be. But I should've conveyed to her how I felt so she could've talked me down, and I didn't do that. I let my emotions take over and that was wrong of me."

Fitz says, "It sounds like you were fueled by jealousy dad. I'm not jealous of him. I just want to pummel him for what he did back then, and the incident on Saturday. Something has to give here. He can't keep taking shots at her; not on my watch. "

Jerry replies, "I know my example isn't exactly the same as you and Liv son, down to every detail. But it's similar in that you have to talk to Liv, because like you I was angry. And I made the mistake of not communicating with her how I felt. Which is what you're doing right now. Hell if she's anything like your mom is with me. She probably already knows something isn't right with you, and she's waiting for you to come to her."

His words finally don on him, and he says, "I get it. I guess I just didn't want to come off like I was being an overprotective jerk, and I didn't want to fight with her about this." Jerry says, "First let me say you'll probably come off as an overprotective jerk if you take the route I took. And second, you can't always prevent disagreements from happening son. Arguing is healthy, and as long as you keep it respectful and about the topic at hand you'll be fine. Besides, making up is the best part."

Fitz smiles as he agrees with his father; their make-up sessions are always the best, and he responds, "I see your point dad. But let me ask you one thing." Jerry replies, "Okay." Fitz asks, "Do you really regret beating up the other guy?"

Jerry can't lie to his son; he responds, "Honestly, no. I don't regret it. But I do regret upsetting your mom. Hurting her wasn't worth the trouble. " Fitz nods as he says, Thanks for your honesty dad. I appreciate it." Jerry hears the tension that was once in his son's voice in decline, and he says, "You're welcome son. I'm glad I could help." He replies, "Me too. By the way, was there a reason you called?"

Jerry responds, "Yeah, I was calling to find out how Liv's game went. But we've clearly covered that. So I just need to know what day we should come down for the game." Fitz responds, "The game is on Saturday, so you can come whenever you want."

Jerry replies, "Okay. I will book the tickets for Friday for me and your mom, and maybe your aunt and uncle. Your siblings have to work. So they won't be coming." Fitz says, "Okay that sounds good. It will be good to see them. Let me know the details of your flight so I can pick you all up." He responds, "Its fine son we can take a cab to your place. I know you're working. I read about that trial you're on."
