Episode 106: Confessions Of An Old Flame.

SPECIAL GUEST STAR:
MICHELLE PFEIFFER as Lacy Norton.

It's around two weeks since New York City was almost at the centre of a nuclear disaster. Thanks to the heroics of new neighbour family man and cop, Abraham Carlisle, the city can breathe a sigh of relief. Although, Jeff Wilson hasn't been so lucky, he has swallowed, what pride he has left and handed himself in to the law and is currently incarcerated. Jeff's actions may have been from his physical presence, but mentally, he was under the control of the Cosmos, who isn't even suspected for influencing Jeff's dark side, not even Harry brings this to his own mind. Otto visits Jeff in a highly secured facility and is warned that his conversation may be recorded. Otto asks why, Jeff would go so low in causing so much national panic and commit murder? Jeff explains, that he doesn't know why and that he had constantly suffered blackouts and memory losses of certain things, although he remembered the most important thing that saved the city, his mothers birthday. Jeff comes to the conclusion, that he may have had a depression, which sparked his alter ego. Otto warns that his trial could be sooner than he thinks and the state is debating whether or not, to allow Otto's suggestion of Capital Punishment back into the state, but Otto concludes worst case scenario, is that Jeff will spend the rest of his life in a maximum security prison. Otto informs Jeff, that he can only act as state senator and not as his ally. Jeff asks about Christopher and Harry and wonders Otto if he could ask Harry and Chris to visit him and asks how they're coping? Otto says, he'll work on it, but again insists, he cannot act as his attorney and stuns Jeff, that Harry has had to resign as his manager, as the public and the government have put pressure on Otto to fire him, because Harry is the brother of a terrorist accomplice. Harry didn't giving them the satisfaction and quit. The only other consolation is that Hassam Luka has been killed alongside Lucifer Buff. The FBI have no leads onto why they were murdered and who by?

Bethany offers Harry, a job at her bank, but lets her down gently, as he doesn't want her be part of Jeff's problems. Little does Harry know, that she loaned him money, whilst being blackmailed by Lucifer and the money, ended up in Hassam's possession, then back in Bethany. Strange thing is, the money was never accounted for by the bank she works for. Where exactly did she get the money from?

Rebecca notices that Emma has tried avoiding her lately and asks her if, she has done anything to upset her? Emma points out, that she wants to make Chris feel he's not alone, following recent events and that she has to help her father remain in his senate seat, seeing as she's now married to the son of a suspected terrorist. Emma though still thinks Rebecca seduced her unlawfully.

Harry is on his way to see Jeff, when he gets a phone call from a previous girlfriend, who he dated back in 1981, Lacy Norton and insists that she speak with him. Harry is stunned that after twenty one years, Lacy would make contact. Harry agrees and makes arrangements to meet her the next day.

Elaina tells Chris to take some time off, until things blow over and she will give him full pay and leave the Hassam and Lucifer investigation to her, as it's still their personal case.

Abraham meets with the mayor, who congratulates him for his heroics and should be awarded the lieutenant job. Brendan encourages him to step up and be counted as one of the Worlds greats.

Harry visits Jeff and Harry argues that Jeff wasn't the only one who had depression, following their parents unsolved murder, Sylvia's murder and Tina's passing etc, despite the same comparisons of what they have suffered, Harry is distraught by his recent changes of life and what Jeff's actions have done and that he may not be able to look Jeff in the face for a while and he leaves.

Next Morning, Harry meets with Lacy near East River and they embrace. Lacy shows her deep sorrow for his loss of Tina and Jeff's mental state. She also congratulates him on his second marriage.
'What made you think of me, after twenty one years?' Harry queries.
'Harry, please forgive me,' Lacy begins.
'What's there to forgive? We didn't hate each other when we went our separate ways. We were young,' Harry explains.
'Yes, we were,' Lacy agrees. 'There's something I should tell you. I'm dying.'
'Dying?' Harry gasps.
'I have terminal cancer. The Doctors say, I have six months to a year left,' Lacy states.
'Oh my God, Lacy I'm so sorry,' Harry sighs.
'So, it's best that I be honest with you and to not be on my death bed with a guilty conscious,' Lacy replies.
'I don't understand, what do you mean a guilty conscious?' Harry answers confused.
Lacy takes out a photograph of Harry's illegitimate son, Joshua played by Shawn Ashmore. Harry is gobsmacked and realizes that she is telling the truth, by the likeness of when he was younger.
'Jesus,' Harry whispers, holding back the tears.
'His name is Joshua,' Lacy informs. 'He looks like you, when you were around his age.'
'Where is he now?' Harry asks.
'He's in Europe, he's travelling and he knows about you.'
'Why didn't you tell me?' Harry wonders, feeling annoyed.
'Sorry, do you hate me?'
'No, I don't. Annoyed maybe, but I thank you for being honest.'
'Harry, he may not want to know you straight away. It could be months or years, but give him time. He's still young.'
'I can't believe it, I've gained a daughter and found out I have a son. Amazing.'

Rebecca cannot take her eyes off Emma, when Bethany invites her and Chris over for dinner and Bethany notices this again. In private, Bethany comes up with a shocking confession, that she and Emma slept together, but makes it sound like, Emma was aware of this.

Otto, the Governor and the mayor discuss his future, as Otto feels that his friendship with Harry shouldn't affect his work, even if his former manager is the younger brother of Jeff Wilson.

Late that night, Rebecca cries herself to sleep and while Harry is taking a shower, the photograph of Joshua, catches Bethany's eye. It soon dawns on her, that he is Harry's son.
