"No, you're lying." Max said, shaking his head, refusing to believe that that person who was trying to kill them was his son. "It can't be."

"It is." Sierra said. "I know this has got to suck majorly-"

"No you don't, you have no idea. You're telling me that the same guy who is doing all this is my son? And now you're telling me you understand?" Max scoffed. Sierra rolled her eyes and looked at him.

"Hey, how do you think I felt when he started going all homicidal? I was in love with him for crying out loud."

"But...How can he be doing this? I mean, we're his family." Isabel said.

"Yeah, but so is Tess." Maria pointed out.

"Look, I don't know what happened, OK? I mean, Travis and I had a plan." Sierra said.

"What sort of plan?" Liz asked. Sierra sighed. She looked down and wrung her fingers in her hand. She scoffed slightly.

"We thought we were like a modern day Romeo and Juliet or something. I mean we thought that our love could end all the crap going on around us. It was perfect. He was so different then. He was caring, kind, he couldn't hurt a fly." Sierra said, remembering how things were.

"Are you sure you're talking about the same guy?" Kyle interjected. "I mean, he is like major evil."

"Yeah, I kinda noticed that." Sierra said in a sarcastic tone. "I have no idea what happened. One day he's sweet and trying to bring the two sides together, next day he's the cold evil shell of a person you just saw."

"So, before the big change, he cared about us?" Isabel asked.

"That's pushing it." Sierra breathed out. "Tess did poison his mind against you all, but the fact remained that he wasn't a cold blooded evil thing like she was. He hated seeing people getting caught in the crossfire of the problems between our side and their side." She looked up at Max. "But boy, did he hate you." Sierra then turned to Liz. "He didn't think too kindly of you either. But I was trying to get him to see Max, you and everyone for who you all were, not the people that his mother made him out to be. I was making some progress, and that's when he changed."

"I guess the whole hell hath no fury as a woman scorned does apply to Tess." Maria muttered.

"You think mommy dearest made him change his point of view?" Kyle asked. Sierra shrugged.

"It seems like the best logic. But I don't know how she could've done it. I mean, he was so determined with ending the war. He and I had a strong connection. I mean, what could've turned him against me?" She asked to no one in particular.

"No offense, but you seem to be putting a lot on this whole love theory." Michael said. "If he loved you, he wouldn't have turned against you, simple as that."

"So, then the question is, what made him fall out of love?" Maria asked. Liz seemed to flinch at that, not that anyone noticed. Sierra thought for a second. She gasped.

"What?" Michael asked. Sierra blinked a few times.

"After Max and Tess died and I went to use the granolith, Travis showed up. He said something about me betraying him.." Her voice trailed off. "He made it seem that something I did made him do all the things he did."

"Well, do you have any idea what that was?" Isabel asked.

"No clue." Sierra said.

"Well that's a big help." Max said sarcastically. Everyone looked at him; it wasn't like him to be that way...That was more Michael's role. Sierra got up and went up to Max.

"Look, I know the idea of your flesh and blood being the evil guy isn't exactly great, but maybe you should've thought about that before you got hot and heavy with that murderous hoe." Sierra spat out.

"I was going through a rough time.." Max said. "Alex had just die-"

"Because Tess killed him." Sierra said, cutting him off. "Now, there are many people you can be mad at right now. You can be mad at Tess for killing Alex, taking your son to Antar and turning him into the man you see today, or you can be mad at yourself for not seeing her for who she really was long ago, but don't you even dare try directing that anger to me, got it?" Sierra snapped at him. "I've got a lot of anger and just generally not good feelings pent up in me right now and you so do not want me to unleash that on you."

"OK, ok." Jim said, taking Sierra's arm and gently pulling her back. "We all need to just relax." Sierra let Jim pull her back, but she was still glaring at Max.

"I need some air." Max said as he walked out of the house. Liz stood up and followed. Sierra sighed and sat down.
