On TV they talk in the news that the antidote counteracted the toxin to all those affected, order is restored and ex-wrestler and doctor Eric Young is credited with being the cause of this chaos, for which he is already behind bars. Karen is distressed by the situation, then she hears AJ coming in, she sees him very badly hurt, but she brought the eggs that she had to bring, so she hugs him.
Karen Neal Jones: "My love, everything is fine, calm down, nothing is wrong."
AJ Styles: "It was a heavy night."
Karen Neal Jones: "Everything will be fine."
On a rainy day, they hold Stuart's funeral, Mickie is devastated, unknown to her, AJ was on top of the cathedral...watching. Later, she goes to see AJ at her house.
Mickie James: "Where were you?"
AJ just answers.
AJ Styles: "Hello."
Mickie James: "My father died, today was his funeral."
AJ looks down.
Mickie James: "Rifles were fired and people talked, two of the trainers and bookers went, even Eli went."
Mickie is quite hurt, cais breaks down in tears.
Mickie James: "Everyone went... except you."
AJ wipes away Mickie's tears, she starts to cry.
AJ Styles: "No, no...I can't go on, I just can't, sorry."
Mickie James: "What are you saying?"
AJ Styles: "I can't keep seeing you anymore, anymore."
It's a situation that neither wants to be in, but it's happening, Mickie opens her umbrella and leaves, but not before seeing AJ one more time.
Mickie James: "He made you promise, to stay away from me, so I'll be safe."
AJ neither confirms nor denies it, Mickie leaves. AJ closes the door, Karen saw everything.
Karen Neal Jones: "She's pretty."
AJ Styles: "That's what my uncle Ray said."
Karen Neal Jones: "Did you ask her out of it?"
AJ Styles: "No."
Karen Neal Jones: "Why?"
AJ Styles: "Because I can't, I'm not good for her."
Karen Neal Jones: "AJ Styles, you are phenomenal and no one will say otherwise, and if anyone has an objection, talk to me."
This cheers AJ up a bit. AJ plays his uncle's audio.
Ray Neal Jones (Audio): "AJ, I know that life has not been fair to you, it hurts me so much that it is so, I think I know what you feel, since you were a child, you live with unresolved issues ... heh, heh, an old man tells you."
AJ on the street sees that they have painted a mural in honor of the Power Ranger.
Ray Neal Jones (Audio): "Those things mark the way, they make us who we are, if someone is headed for the great, that's you, you owe your gifts to the world, you just have to discover how to use them, remember that where whatever they take you... we will always be here, please come home, remember that I love you, you are our hero."
All this makes AJ feel respect. It's the day of the TNA event, AJ is backstage getting ready, but he doesn't talk to Mickie, yes, to his surprise, Eli greets him very playfully.
Eli Drake: "What's up, AJ."
AJ Styles: "Eli, nice to see you."
Eli Drake: "Are you coming with us after the show?"
AJ Styles: "Maybe another day, I like your shirt by the way."
Now that the Power Ranger is popular, his merchandise is selling like hot cakes, especially shirts.
Eli Drake: "Yeah, he's crazy, but the girls love him."
AJ Styles: "Crazy and attractive, how lucky."
AJ sees Mickie, they both ignore each other, they don't turn to see or speak to each other. Before the event, Dixie Carter gathered the entire roster for some motivational words.
Dixie Carter: "It has been a good year for TNA, that would not be possible without everyone here, a job like this is done as a team and only as a team."
She then notices that AJ is late for the meeting.
Dixie Carter: "AJ, I'm glad you decided to join us, luckily I won't have to change your place on the match card."
AJ gets very close to Mickie.
AJ Styles: "It won't happen again, I promise."
Dixie Carter: "Don't make promises you won't keep."
AJ says close to Mickie.
AJ Styles: "Those are the best."
Mickie smiles, knowing that there is hope for both of them. This is the new life of AJ, a wrestler before the public and common people, but anonymously he is the red samurai who protects the city, the one they call the Power Ranger, Power Ranger swings through the buildings, looking for new challenges.
