Place: Kathy's Apartment
Action: While Brody is playing with his siblings in a separate different room, Kathy and Elliot have a heart to heart conversation in the den.
Kathy: Please don't play around with me. What is the real reason for your visit?
Elliot (choked up): Recently, I have been coughing up blood. I have visited the doctor.
Kathy (greatly concerned): What is your prognosis?
Elliot (choked up): I have cancer. You are the first one that I have told.
Kathy (crying, she embraces Elliot): OH Elliot
Elliot: We shouldn't tell the kids
Kathy: Why not?!
Elliot: I don't want them to worry about me. Big or small, cancer will not defeat me.
Kathy: Elliot, you are Brody's last surviving parent. He deserves to know what is going on with you. Who will take care of him if you die?
Elliot: Brody loves you. It is my wish that you can look after him in my absence.
