Raven smiles.
Raven : I know that much. You're a good guy. I dunno why anyone would think anything else.

"Fuck it," she thinks. "He's a friend, this is not inappropriate." She gives him a warm hug.
Raven : She's wrong, hun.

Raven : No problem, hun. It'll get better. Life goes on, don't think about the past.

Raven : But she doesn't love you if she dumped you .... if she doesn't love you, she's not right for you .... you can find someone who loves you ....
She picks up Bikki's "The Man The Smith The Legend" shirt, which has somehow ended up on the floor, and uses it to dry Scott's tears; and her own, which are starting to flow.

Raven : Maybe she liked what y'all gave her, and she liked you a lot but didn't really love you .... I dunno hun, I thought all y'all were so good .... sorry.

Raven : It's so easy to think that .... so hard for it to be true.
With so many memories going through her head, she copies his order, hoping she won't hold it well this time.

Raven wakes up on the floor of The Dirty Bastard. She's never had such a bad headache in her life - she doesn't usually do hangovers, but this time, she feels awful. She notices the empty glasses around her, and sighs deeply. It all comes flowing back - Scott, Kestrel, the baby, Jakey, Kahlen, Nathan, her whole past, she just wanted for one night in her life to forget it all. And even though he was drunk and probably gave less than a damn about her, holding Scott again just once ....

Bikki wakes up from the same blackout, but strangely, right as rain.
Bikki : You didn't do anything with him, if that's what's worrying you.
Raven : No, what's worryin' me is that I have a FUCKING GREAT HANGOVER!
Bikki : Go see your mum.
Raven : You have a point, she has soup for ....
Bikki : There's a dark presence coming downstairs. VERY DARK.
Raven : First y'all were on about Scott bein' bad, now this. Bikki, you're crazy.

She walks down the stairs, after a very long stay here.
Bikki : Sophy?
Sophy : Bikki?
The identical pair hug, despite everything. Raven pushes them apart and pins Sophy-Cat Kerry against a wall.
Raven : YOU KILLED MY SISTER!
She gives Sophy a hard punch in the face. Barsteward comes along and pulls them apart.
Barsteward : Now now ladies, no drama in here!
Raven : She MORE than deserved it! But anyway, I'm going to my mother's.
Bikki : I'm going to Raven's mother's.
Sophy : I'm going to - stay here, I guess.
As she leaves, Bikki sends a quick telepathic message to Sophy, "back at six".

Although he's met Bikki last night, he still gives her a formal handshake after her unnecessary introduction.

Eric: It's an absolute pleasure to meet you, madame. And, no, I sadly haven't heard of you, Sophy. Makes me feel like a jerk, since you know my name. It always makes me feel like a rock-star when something like this happens.

Pulling out his wallet is slightly difficult, due to shaking hands. Eventually, all the contents spill out, including quite a bit of money. About £90,000, to be exact. Not bothering to pick up the pieces of paper, he simply shrugs and says;

Eric: So, I'm paying for you today, since you did the same for me when I was broke. I think this should cover the expenses.
