Scott turned into his wolf form and approached Brooke as she lay on her back, naked and crying. He started to whine, went to Brooke's head, and lay down.
Brooke put her head on Scott's stomach and wrapped her arms around him in a gentle embrace.
Scott woke up from his dream. "Brooke?" He quietly asked himself.
The next morning, Emma texted he and Noah about Brooke being assaulted and they rushed to her home to join the girls.
Scott arrived first and hastily hugged Brooke.
Telling her that he was sorry.
She pulled her head away, looked him in his eyes and said, "I'm alive."
Scott held her tighter, thinking about his dream, wondering if this was what it was alluding to.
Noah burst through the door and was immediately met with a hug from Brooke.
It started with Brooke trying to calm Noah down as he apologized, wishing he was there to stop it, and telling her he had no idea what to say.
He started rambling and Brooke silenced him with a kiss.
When the kiss ended, she told him, "You being here now is all I need."
Brooke suggested they all watch TV for a while until she was ready to say what she needed to say; everyone complied and watched TV, the mood slowly, but surely, becoming more comfortable than the start.
Brooke and Noah sat next to each other on the couch, Audrey was to the right of the couch in a recliner, and Scott and Emma were to the left in separate chairs.
After some time, Brooke announced she was ready to talk.
The others all turned to her to wait for her to start.
Brooke sighed, smiled, and said, "I'm not going to let what happened change me."
"What, uh, what do you mean?" Noah asked.
"I mean: I'm not going to let it affect me."
An awkward silence fell between the others as they searched each others eyes for answers to the question they all had in mind: 'Is she serious?'.
Brooke saw this and questioned what was wrong.
No one answered…
Emma broke the silence with, "Um," she chuckled, "I think we're all just surprised." She attempted to entertain Brooke's idea with a smile.
Brooke chuckled. "Why?"
Silence befell them once again, but Audrey picked up the conversation quickly.
"Because no one, well, no one we know, has ever been so…powerful with a decision like that," Audrey answered as genuinely as possible.
"H-How are you not going to let it affect you?" Scott decided to ask.
Brooke shrugged with a simple smile. "I'm just not going to let it. I've been through worse. I was stabbed, thrown into a freezer, had my boyfriend's dead body fall in front of me with his blood hitting my face, stabbed a second time, had my father die, and then watched my last boyfriend die in the backyard where I used to imagine my wedding when I was a little girl." She wiped her eyes, stopping them from shedding tears, and regained her composure. "Having a guy thrust inside me does not compare to those experiences. I mean," she scoffed, "it's not like I was a virgin when it happened."
The others shifted awkwardly in their seats.
Brooke sighed in irritation. "I mean, can any of really say THAT would affect you after everything we have all been through!?"
After a second of silence, Emma admitted she would be affected.
Brooke slumped back in defeat.
"But," Emma leaned forward, "I haven't been with as many guys as you have." She gave a devilish smile.
Audrey, Noah, and Scott's eyes all widened.
Brooke grinned from ear-to-ear. "You bitch!" She jumped on Emma and the two started wrestling and laughing.
After a second of rough-housing, the two girls hugged and the tension from before dissipated, allowing the group to enjoy themselves and hangout as friends.
Audrey banged on the Argent's door, calling out for Christopher.
After he answered the door, he and Audrey talked about Roberts.
Later, Red came home to be accosted by the teens.
Moments after, the three were sitting at the kitchen table.
"You think Roberts is the killer?" Red asked.
"Think about it," Audrey said, "he's new to Lakewood, a cop, he harassed Noah, after Brooke told Acosta about the harassment, Noah was attacked, and after your wife was killed on the same night, Roberts just happens to show up late to the crime scene."
Red stood up and told them, "I'm not saying you're right, but I do have an idea as to what we can do."
They drove to Roberts' home and Red banged on his door.
Without Christopher or Red noticing, Audrey unknowingly took a hair from Red's shoulder and put it in her back pocket.
Roberts opened the door and Red pulled him outside and slammed him against the house, still holding his shirt's collar.
"I can put you under arrest for assaulting a police officer!" Roberts yelled.
"Do it then!" Red yelled back. "I just want you to know that if you are the killer and you're using your power as an officer to hide yourself, I will prove it and I will kill you." Red then tossed Roberts back into his home.
