Spencer tensed under Mary's touch. She was wiping away some blood from the corner of her mouth. She vaguely recalls biting her lip as she fell. She looks around frantically when Mary's back is turned but she can't find anything that might be helpful. There is no luggage bags in sight and Mary didn't bring a purse or handbag with her. She's grabbed another chair and faced Spencer with it, hunkering down and staring tearily at her face.

"You don't know how long I've waited to have you here, Spencer. A family reunion of sorts. I've spent so long without my girls and now that Charlotte's gone, I realize that you girls should have been my priority all along."

She wipes a tear from her cheek as Spencer eyes her apprehensively. She doesn't seem to be carrying any weapons. She's wearing black leather gloves however, which can only mean she doesn't intend to leave any fingerprints. She has no time to worry if that means what she thinks it means because Mary starts talking again, and Spencer needs to find a way out of this hotel room stat.

"I know I wasn't the best mother. I've made... mistakes. I shouldn't have let Alex do that stuff to you. I should've been more fair. You're sisters. You shouldn't have to fight. You should be able to share!"

Spencer quirked her eyebrows at this. What did she mean by that? Was she supposed to share her life with Alex? Work from Monday to Friday and let Alex play her on the weekends?

"I know this is all confusing, but things will seem clear in time."

Mary rose from her chair with a hopeful smile on her face. Spencer quickly shuffled as far away from her as possible but she had still not regained movement in the legs or arms and the most she could do was crane her neck around. She plopped her head back on the pillow and felt the back of her earring dig into her neck. She was in such a rush this morning that she didn't have time to tighten her earrings, she just hastily threw them on. With a good tug she might be able to tear one out and hopefully lead her friends to her.

Mary put the chair she was using back and leaned in close, enveloping Spencer in a hug as she whispered the final part of her proposal.

"We'll be a family, Spencer!"

Spencer craned her head towards Mary's shoulder. Mary hugged her daughter tighter. She heard a knock on the door and started to move back when Spencer jolted suddenly backwards, having used the hug to wedge her earring in Mary's zipper, and using the momentum of the jolt to pull it out, sending it flying down onto the floor. Mary put her arm on Spencer's shoulder to calm her down and Spencer played the fool and sunk back into the bed, watching Mary Drake move around the room and set her affairs in order before moving on with her plan as Spencer hoped the earring would be enough of a clue to let her friends know she's still alive.
