DISCLAIMER
Higher Ground belongs Fox Family and The Unsaid belongs to Universal Studios. And let's just say that Scott told the others what had happened at the restaurant in "Because I Love You".
Later
that night, the Cliffhangers gathered in the lodge.
"How does
this always happen?" wondered Kyle.
"Kyle, I've been here for three years and I still have no clue," Katherine responded. Just then, Jess sighed.
"What's the matter, Jess?" Shelby asked in concern.
"I---I miss mom," Jess confessed.
"What? Why?" Scott wondered.
"Because she's my mom," Jess answered in a tone that implied that suggested he was ridiculous for even asking.
"Yeah, I mean, I miss my parents," Katherine agreed.
"Yeah, but your parents are great," Ezra pointed out. "Not like mine. They only adopted me to save their marriage," he continued.
"Yeah, that would bite," Kyle stated.
"What do you miss about mom?" Shelby wondered.
"Her sandwiches, her smile…" Jess trailed off momentarily, and then continued, "Plus she stuck up for us about Walt."
"Yeah. After they threatened to take you guys away," Scott said dourly.
"What's up with you?" Kyle queried.
"Uh, his father developed a case of the stupids," Ezra responded.
"Huh?" Kyle queried.
"Daddy Dearest decided that Step-monster's infatuation was his fault," Daisy explained.
"Oh," Kyle responded.
"Oye, what 'bout you, man? You miss anybody back home?" Auggie wondered.
"My parents and Shelly," Kyle answered.
"Shelly? Who's that?" Juliette wondered.
"Girlfriend?" Daisy added.
"Younger sister," Kyle responded.
"Sister?" Daisy repeated.
"Yeah, she's got a voice like a bell. You oughtta hear her sing," Kyle continued. Everyone leaned forward as he continued to talk, describing some of her recitals.
