At the police station we see Danny making his way in back. Kyle sighs looking around spotting his partner Sandy making her way over holding something
"Hey,everything alright?" she asked as he shook his head
"Not really...what do you have on the Archie case?"he asked just as Sandy handed him the file
"The M.E said he was killed in the car crash" she says looking at him
"Damnit...that means" he says closing the folder as she nods her head
"Desai didn't do it. I don't know what you have over this kid..."she begins to say but couldn't finish as Kyle left her alone
"So,is this what you people do?Accuse already innocent murders as your top suspect?" says the familiar voice. Karen who was yelling at the officers walking past her doing their jobs. Kyle spotted her nearby and groans walking up to her
"Karen...if you'll please come to my office we can talk there" he says gently trying to grab her arm but she stops and slaps her across the face
"Don't touch me. I could sue you guys for harrassing my son. Accusing my son of killing two people?" she says
"Your son deserves to rot for what he did to my daughter!" cried out Gloria Crane who was seen walking up to Karen not backing down. Neither does Karen
"My son...had nothing to do with your daughter's death. Your just lashing out your anger" Karen says in a snobbish tone As both women are now face to face
"Is that right?"
"Sandy...please take Mrs. Crane into my office." Kyle says trying to get some sort of focus in control. Both Gloria and Karen stare at each other before they weren't seen
"I want my son" Karen said in a demanded voice. Folding her arms across her chest obviously not backing down
"Karen, he'll be out soon. It seemed we drew to the wrong conclusion this time. We apologize" he says in a calming voice
"Yeah,you bet your ass you did" she says walking comes out rubbing his hands on his wrist. He spotting his mother
"Danny...you alright?" she asked after signing his release forms she went over to hug him
"Just peachy...can we go now?"he asked but spotted Gloria who walks up to him slapping Danny across the face
"You murdered my daughter you son of a bitch!You wont get away with this!" Gloria says. Just as Sandy found Mrs. Crane and takes her away for a second time. Karen looks at Danny who felt his cheek which was a little hot from the slap
"Don't listen to her Danny. Are you okay?" she asked out of concern. Danny who had his head lowered on the floor shrugs his shoulders
"I guess...i just wanna get out of here"Danny says barely as Karen nods her head
"That we are...lets go" she says not wanting to be there any longer than nessary. Kyle and Karen glared eye contact as Danny left the station before she follows
Mrs. Crane,thank you for coming down" Sandy's voice was heard...
Meanwhile,back at Danny's house he wondered if Jo is still here
"Jo?..." he yelled from the kitchen looking around but Karen spotted a note from the kitchen
"Danny?...here" she says handing him the note. He sighs before reading it and crumples it up
"Everything okay?" Karen asked looking at him
"I need some air" he says before walking out of the house. Wondering around from what feels like hours Danny didn't even know where he was or what time. But stoped by a nearby house he hasn't seen in forever. A slight smile forms on his face before he made his way up to the house. He rang the doorbell. After a few seconds a older woman opened the door
"Yes,can i help...Danny?" she asked as he nods his head
"Hello, Mrs. Porter. Is Lacey home?"he asked figuring she wouldn't be at school due to Archie and Regina's deaths. Judy nods her head
"She is...but i don't think she wants any visitors today"she says as he nods his head
"I u-understand" he says already knowing her reason making Judy lower her head
"Oh,hunny,it's not about that. I know you didn't do that. It's just"
"Mom...who's at the door?" Lacey asked from upstairs as she made her way down. She entered the living room to spot Danny who smiles lightly
"Hey,hunny. Danny came to visit you. I wasn't sure if you were up for it." Judy explains
"He can come in for a little bit. If its okay by you ma?" Lacey asked as Judy smiles
"Why don't you guys talk outside for a bit. Company is going to be over soon. Don't be a stranger Danny" Judy says closing the door behind her as she leaves them alone. Lacey and Danny sits on the step together in silence
"Sorry about Archie and Regina"Danny finally managed to say
"Thanks..."Lacey says beginning to feel a little chilly. Danny looks at her noticing
"You getting cold?" he says taking off his jacket before wrapping it around Lacey's back keeping her warm
"Thanks. You didn't have too" Lacey says even though she's glad he's here for her
"No problem. How you holding up?" he asked
"Im okay...i guess. I just can't believe its happening all to fast you know?"
"You know im here if you wanna talk"
" I know. And i know you had nothing to do with Regina or Archie's death" she says
"You do?" How do you know that?" he says clearly not sure knowing what's real or made up anymore
"Because i do. I know your having a ruff time since you came back..." she begins to say making Danny scoff rolling his eyes
"Yeah,you can say that"
"Just know even though i don't act like it at times..."
"I know your here for me. Im gonna get going" he says getting up as Lacey stands up as well. She takes off his jacket
"You probably want this back?"she says handing it to him
"Keep it. I'll see you at school" Danny says beginning to walk away. Lacey smiles watching him before heading back in the house. Meanwhile, after school Jo was seen walking down the street as Danny made his way over to her catching up to her
"Hey,missed you at school today" Jo says
"Really?" Interesting... i thought you didn't like me?"
"I never said that. So,your mom bailed you out i see" she says referring to earlier
"Yep...even though im not off the hook yet" he says obviously referring to Regina's case
"Why don't you say you were with Lacey that night. It'll get you cleared"
"It's complicated" they both said in union making each other smile" Just before either one could speak we see the familiar police car pull up as Kyle pulled up
"Dad?" Jo begins to say looking at him
"Get in the car now" he says stopping the car. Jo looks at Danny who shrugs
"Something going on?"Danny asked but Kyle ignored him. Kyle gets out of the car opening the side door looking at his daughter
"Get in the car" he says as Jo did what he said still confused looking at Danny
" Mr. Masterson?" Danny begins to say. Kyle slams the side shut as Jo tries to overhear what's going on
"Im trying to be nice, stay away from my daughter" he says before walking back to the car and drives away with Danny watching. After a couple of seconds Jo arrived back home embarressed and upset about what he did. She walks inside as her mother spotted her
"Hey ,hunny..."
"I can not believe what you did back there" Jo yelled to her father who came inside closing the door
"I did it for your own good"
"My own good?" she says with a scoff
"Somebody mind telling me what is going on?" Tess asked looking at them confused
"He embarressed me in front of Danny. And forbided me to ever see him again. " Jo says heading upstairs having enough of seeing him. Kyle sighs before looking at his wife
"Is that true?"
"Yeah,im doing this for her own good Tess. She can't be around him like that"
"Kyle,she can't just ignore the boy. They were friends once" she says trying to talk to him but it wasn't working
"Im going upstairs" he says not in the mood to hear this. Jo arrived upstairs in her room. She locked the door and throws her bag on the floor before sitting on her bed. Seconds later she heard her phone go off and picks it up looking at it as it was a message from Danny. She smiles before flipping it open
Everything alright? he asked as he was in his room lying on his bed waiting for a responds wondering what that was all about earlier
not really. Dad's totally flipped out
About what? he replied back already knowing the answer
You. He wants me to stay away from you
Maybe you should. Nothing good ever seem to happen to me
Danny, i know you aren't responsible for Regina's and Archie's death. We'll find out who killed them. I'll see you tomorrow?
You sure you wanna be seen by me?
Believe it or not Danny. I do miss my best friend. I'll see you tomorrow. She texted with a smile. She meant every word. She wants her best friend back. Despite what her father thinks she's going to keep seeing Danny,even if she needs to do it in hiding. Danny smiles at the text before putting his phone away when there was a knock at the door
"Hey, kiddo. Just coming in to check on you. Getting ready for bed?" she asked leaning by the doorway. Danny nods his head
"Yeah,it's been a crazy day. Night mom" he says. Karen smiles walking over giving him a kiss on his head before closing the door behind him. Danny sighs laying in bed before closing his eyes
