Cabe was following the GPS to Paradise Cove Bluffs and the home of Ginger LeBeau. Paige was riding in the passenger seat and Paige Murphy was riding in the back. Paige wasn't sure what to do next but she told her they were going to see Tim's fiancé and Paige Murphy wanted to go with them.

Paige checked her phone as it buzzed and saw Walter had responded to her request and sent her a short unedited version video clip that was on the website that clearly showed Tim engaged in sex with Paige Murphy.

"Paige, are you sure you are comfortable with me showing her this clip of you with Tim?" Paige asked Paige Murphy.

Paige Murphy smiled and nodded.

"While I am ashamed of how this happened, I'm not ashamed of what I do for a living Paige. I've always been a bit of an exhibitionist, much to my parents' embarrassment." Paige Murphy laughed. "They say I take after Dad's sister in that department."

Just then, Cabe slowed down as he came to the gated community that Ginger LeBeau lived in. As he stopped he rolled down his window.

"Good morning, can I help you folks?" The guard asked as he stepped out of the shack.

"Agent Cabe Gallo of Homeland, we're here to speak with Ms Ginger LeBeau." Cabe told him as he showed his credentials.

The guard looked them over quickly and nodded.

"I'll have to call and get permission to let you through, unless you have a warrant." The guard explained.

Cabe laughed.

"It isn't that kind of a visit." Cabe told him.

The guard laughed and stepped inside.

"You think she's going to see us?" Paige asked.

"If she's home, I don't see why not. I'm sure being from Homeland it will probably pique her curiosity. She might even think I'm a friend of Tim's. I just hope Tim isn't there." Cabe told her.

They saw the guard nod and hang up the phone and walk outside.

"Ms LeBeau said to let you through. Do you know where her home is?" The guard asked.

"Well if I can trust my GPS I do." Cabe grinned pointing at the device.

"Just in case." The guard chuckled and handed him a map with a marking of the gate and a mansion.

"Thanks." Cabe nodded as he took it and the guard gestured and the gate opened up.

"Agent Gallo." Ginger said as Cabe and the ladies walked out of the house and onto the patio Ginger was sitting on. "I've heard a story or two from Tim about you." Ginger smiled.

Cabe laughed.

"I can imagine Ms LeBeau." Cabe replied.

"Oh Ginger, please." Ginger told him.

"Ginger." Cabe nodded as he shook her hand. Cabe pointed to Paige. "This is."

"Paige Dineen, Tim's former girlfriend with Scorpion. Right?" Ginger said, interrupting him. "But I don't recognize the young lady with you."

"This is Paige Murphy, Ginger." Cabe told her.

"Well please have a seat." Ginger said pointing. "It is nice to meet you all. So you aren't here with a warrant, so this isn't a legal visit and I'm gathering you aren't here for a fundraiser of some kind."

"No Ma'am." Paige said.

"Please Paige, it is Ginger." Ginger told her.

"Thank you Ginger." Paige smiled and looked at Cabe like, now what?

Cabe just shrugged.

Paige took a deep breath.

"There really isn't a good way of saying this. What we're here about is something Tim and his friend Clyde did." Paige explained.

Ginger frowned and looked at Cabe and Cabe nodded.

"Well that surely doesn't bode well as a start. I'm not sure I know this Clyde. What have they done?" Ginger asked.

"For me it started when Clyde approached me a few months ago. We'd been talking a bit for a month or two before that. I just figured he was a typical middle aged guy, hitting on a young woman. He seemed interested that I was struggling trying to get a loan or grants for college for next year. He told me he had a friend who would help him back a website for me. I'd be a camgirl. Do shows throughout the week, do some photo shoots, make some videos to sell. And it was going well, as far as I knew." Paige Murphy told her.

"Oh, yes, Tim had said he had invested in some kind of web business. I wasn't too curious about what exactly. But I didn't know it was adult entertainment." Ginger frowned.

"The problem comes when what Clyde was doing for Tim as revenge against me." Paige told her.

"Revenge? I don't understand, he and you broke up because he extended his time in Jordan. Right?" Ginger asked.

"We did, but the reason he extended in the first place is because he knew I really loved my employer. He knew I wasn't willing to give up my feelings for him to take our relationship to the next level. We wouldn't even have known about this except one of Paige's fans bumped into me two days ago and thought I was her." Paige explained.

"I don't think I like where this might be going." Ginger told them.

The trio nodded their heads.

"Clyde used AI software to alter all the videos and pictures on Paige's website." Paige explained as she pulled out her phone and pulled up several images.

Ginger reluctantly took the phone and looked at them.

"I see." Ginger sighed.

"My boyfriend noticed something about the man that Clyde had brought in to perform with Paige for her website. He pulled up some of the pictures you had taken of Tim on the beach earlier in the year. And it was clear that Tim had been performing with her. When we talked with Paige she confirmed it was Tim and that he had told her he was single." Paige explained.

"I'm really sorry Ginger, if I know, I don't do things with guys who are involved with other women." Paige Murphy told her.

"This was the video my boyfriend was able to recover from the website." Paige pulled up the video that Walter sent her that wasn't edited and it clearly showed Tim having sex with Paige Murphy.

Ginger sighed as she opened a book and picked up a pen and was writing something.

"I am sorry that Tim did this to you Paige." Ginger looked at Paige Murphy. "I get it, you saw an easy, pleasurable way of making the money to go to school full time. I'm not faulting you over this dear."

"Thank you." Paige Murphy nodded.

"And Paige, I can't imagine how this probably horrified you. As I understand it you have a young son, so it probably filled you with anxiety over child services or even the boy's Father raising a stink over this." Ginger said as she continued writing.

"Those things were all valid concerns, yes. We also found out that some of my son's friends have seen pictures and videos from the website. And of course, they have been teasing him about it. But my biggest concerns were for you and Paige. I was worried the two of you were victims as well." Paige told her.

Ginger sighed as she continued writing.

"And your boyfriend, I'm guessing, this is Walter O'Brien of Scorpion, has been working diligently to fix what happened?" Ginger asked.

"He is and he has been working very hard since we found out." Paige told her. "I'm just sorry we had to come to you about this."

Ginger looked up for a moment and smiled.

"Tim and I have our own proclivities, and as long as he minds the structure of our agreement I don't really mind. If he wants to have an affair with someone, that is fine. Doing this however is not fine. Proprieties must be observed and putting himself in videos and pictures, even with his face blurred, is not acceptable in our arrangement." Ginger told them.

"It creates a number of issues and those cause embarrassments for the three of us here as well as your boyfriend and sadly your son." Ginger pulled on a piece of paper and they heard it tear and she reached it out to Paige Murphy.

"This is just my way of saying I'm sorry this happened to you. To give you some peace of mind." Ginger told her.

Paige Murphy frowned but took the paper and saw it was a personal check made out to her for two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Labeled as a gift. Paige Murphy gasped as she saw the amount.

"Please, just accept it." Ginger told her as she tore another check out and handed it to Paige. "What they did to you, Paige, is much worse and causes a whole deeper level of embarrassment. Not to mention all the effort your boyfriend is going through to straighten this out."

Paige frowned and looked at the check and saw it made out to her for four and a half million dollars as a gift.

"I can't accept this. I didn't come here for a pay off." Paige said as she looked at Ginger.

"Paige, please understand, this isn't a pay off of any kind. I've been party to a number of legal cases and I am nearly always right in my estimation of win vs loss and damages awarded. I don't want my name dragged into this. But I know you clearly have a case against Tim and Clyde. The DA would have a slam dunk with them, which would mean a civil suit would result in the same verdict. If it was to go to a court you'd win a settlement against them. And I am sure any attorney would include me in it because of deeper pockets as they say. I just want to skip the legal hassle and as much of the embarrassment as I can by keeping people from finding out I was with the person who did this. I also don't want any more negative attention for either of you." Ginger told her. "If you want to press criminal charges against them, then so be it, I can't and won't try to stop you. I'll have to live with the embarrassment that all the rags will print about it and include my name in the stories. I just hope you don't do anything else civilly."

"We three are just sitting here and agreeing that what has happened is horrific, vile and just plain wrong, but we'd rather not let this go any further. And of course if for some reason this gets to child services or your son's Father, then Tim will step forward to admit you had no knowledge of or participation in anything. I give you my word on that." Ginger told them.

"You sure are taking this a lot better than most women would." Cabe told her.

Ginger smiled.

"Well thank you Cabe. Sadly I've had to live through some pretty horrible people in my life. You never know for sure who is only around you looking for whatever they can take from you. Tim and I will be having a very long conversation about this. I'm going to have a lot of things to consider over this." Ginger told them.

"Well this will see me through to my masters, so, thank you." Paige Murphy told her.

"You're welcome." Ginger told her.

"I'm still not sure about this Ginger. I understand it isn't a pay off or anything nefarious. So if I do go to the DA you are okay with that? Even with giving me this money?" Paige asked.

Ginger smiled.

"I'll never be okay with it my dear, but yes, you are free to leave here and go straight to the DA with your evidence if you want." Ginger promised.

"Debra." Ginger called out after Cabe and the Paiges left. She knew what she needed to do. She wasn't waiting, Tim could rot.

"Yes Ms LeBeau?" Debra said as she stepped out onto the patio.

"Have all of Tim's belongings collected and moved to a storage unit of some kind." Ginger told her as she stared off into the distance.

"Of course Ms LeBeau." Debra said as she left.

"Well I got to be honest, I didn't expect this to turn out quite like this." Cabe said as they drove through the gate and out into the normal world.

"Me either. I figured she'd deny it to be honest." Paige said as she still couldn't believe she was carrying a check made out to her for over four million dollars.

"Maybe it goes to show how much she's been wronged?" Paige Murphy offered. "Paige, if it is okay with you. I don't want to be involved in anything legal wise. I mean if I have to be, obviously I will, but."

"I get it Paige. I hadn't even thought of trying to press charges to be honest. Since Walter was fixing my involvement I was just worried about you and Ginger." Paige sighed.

"I can't believe how well this worked. I figured she would have fought me a little more. Hey, what do you say Walt? I give her a hypnotic suggestion so we give her a code word she goes and brings us a cup of coffee?" Toby grinned as he wagged his eyebrows.

"I'm thinking if you value your gooty as well as your relationship with Happy you just play it straight and wake her up now." Walter smiled.

"Spoil sport." Toby stuck his tongue out at him.

"Okay Happy, I'm going to count backwards from three and when I say one you will awaken fully and remember everything we've talked about." Toby told Happy while sitting beside Walter's bed. "Three, you are beginning to awaken. Two, you can feel your extremities. One, you are awake."

"What the hell?" Happy swore as she sat forward quickly.

"That was interesting." Walter said as he had watched with interest when Toby suggested hypnotism to get to what had caused Happy to snap.

"I had no idea I was still so angry at my Dad. And to have my best friend accusing me of being like him." Happy said as a tear ran down her face. "I'm really sorry Walt."

"I am too Happy. I never wanted anything to come between us." Walter told her calmly.

"How do I make this right with you?" Happy asked as her left hand hesitantly reached out and touched his.

"We agree to forgive and agree to work together to keep things from happening as we continue moving forward." Walter told her before his fingers closed around her hand.

Happy gave him a half smile and nodded.

"But I remember what you wanted me to do, Fungus, and we'll have a conversation about that later." Happy eyed him.

"Of course you remember my perfect Asian flower, after all that is what I said to you before waking you up. That you will remember everything." Toby smiled.

"That only bought you a few hours." Happy grinned evilly at him before looking back to Walter.

"So how bad are you doing financially then Walter?" Happy asked.

"It isn't good Happy. I had to sell the rights to the winch design to the creditors to finish repaying the loan. I've got a few thousand left in my personal savings. I had been considering going through all the equipment around the Garage and selling everything to try and boost things up." Walter sighed.

"Well, you had every right even if we hadn't done what we did." Happy nodded. "It isn't like the design had done much for us." Happy sighed.

"So what was Paige wanting you to tell us about?" Toby asked.

"Basically, remember when I fell down the stairs last Christmas?" Walter asked.

"Of course, we all had to scramble back and perform an emergency procedure on you in the Garage." Toby nodded.

"Thanks to Happy, I believe, I have recovered my memory of what happened. Florence had come back into the Garage after everyone had left and seemed surprised I was there. She said she wanted to catch Sly before he left. I had thought she left. But when I came back down from the Loft, I saw a shadow of someone under the stairs and then I fell. I had a momentary glimpse of her before it all went black." Walter explained.

"That bitch!" Happy swore as she jumped up and started pacing about the room. Her breath was coming in harsh pants.

"I think I'm just going to leave her alone for now." Toby said, looking from Happy to Walter.

Sylvester nodded in agreement.

"I also learned that Tim approached someone just before Christmas to get a copy of my 3d layering software. And while I was in the hospital Florence's laptop connected to the network and downloaded it. A day later Tim told Clyde he had the software." Walter told them.

"Wholly crap. Are you serious?" Toby looked surprised.

"Yes, I had just discovered my software had been used to make some of those videos and pictures when Happy and I had our disagreement." Walter told him.

"Disagreement, that's one word for it. Are you really okay over that Walt?" Toby asked with concern.

"With what happened between me and Happy, yes." Walter said finally.
