Blood Is Blood

Hey you've reached Jess, leave me a message

and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Fuck!

Crew?

Thanks.

That was beautiful!

Just before people die, they see their life

flash before their eyes.

What are you thinking right now, huh?

Fuck.

So I'm not that good at giving toasts

So I thought I'd just tell a story.

I was seven so Crew must have been 15 or so?

So I get on my bike and I follow Crew to the theater,

and there he is standing outside,

and all of a sudden this girl comes up out of nowhere

and she gives him this big hug, and it made me so mad.

I thought to myself, "Who is this girl,

"and why does she think she can

"just come up and hug my brother?"

So naturally I'm gonna go up and I'm gonna

punch her in the face, right?

And then I saw the look on my brother's face.

He was so happy, he was literally glowing.

I had never seen him look like that.

Now this would be a great story

if I could tell you that that girl was Sara, but it wasn't,

and it would be an even better story

if I could tell you that I see that look

on Crew's face all the time now, but I don't,

because the look I see on Crew's face now when he's

with Sara so surpasses that look it's not even funny.

I thought I knew what it looked like

to see my brother happy, but I didn't.

Not until Sara.

I am wishing you a long life of love, happiness and joy,

and I know that our parents are looking down on us

and they're so proud of you Crew,

and they would absolutely love Sara.

Cheers.

And if you think I'm doing this again

at your wedding you're kidding yourself.

Thank you all so much for being here tonight

and joining us for this wonderful, wonderful occasion.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Nicely done Brie.

I was kinda worried there for a minute.

You think they're convinced?

Her?

Yeah.

Him?

I'm not so sure.

I love when we get together just as a family.

Let's get one with just the girls.

All right here let me take one of you guys,

just the siblings.

One, two.

I think I blinked,

and on that note I am gonna head out guys.

You're leaving?

Yeah, I'm beat.

Got an early start so I'm gonna head out.

Bye guys,

Bye Daniel.

Bye.

Hey.

I don't wanna hear any prenuptial copulation tonight.

Oh you don't have to worry about that.

Your brother here is an absolute gentleman.

Really?

Is that so?

He's very old fashioned.

To the contrary.

Being a gentleman is always in fashion.

Oh.

Cute.

When are you moving in Sara?

Not until after the wedding.

I made you something.

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

You know that's so funny, Crew gave me one of these

the first night we met.

Really?

Is that so?

He's so cute.

Thank you.

Looks like the night's just getting started.

You gotta teach me how to make these.

It's not that hard.

You're welcome, you deserve it.

I love it.

I love you so much.

You're making it hard to be a gentleman.

I'll be right back.

I mean I can't do it.

I can't go out there and put a big fake smile on my face

and pretend I'm okay with this when I'm not.

Brie.

He's gonna marry Sara.

Nothing you can say or do is gonna change that.

So why can't you just be happy for him?

Because she's a lying manipulative two-faced bitch,

and he deserves better.

She's not a bitch,

and even if she was it isn't your decision.

Yeah well, I don't have to condone it.

Yes you do, he's our brother.

Not anymore.

Not since he replaced me.

He replaced all of us.

He's not replacing anyone.

So what if he's getting married,

he's still our brother no matter what.

Right, blood is blood.

Exactly.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just these images.

Think I really gotta go see that guy.

Think I got a better look at the one

on the bottom this time.

Pretty sure it was you.

That's pleasant.

So it's Sara in the polka dot dress standing over me?

Yeah I think so.

It's kinda too blurry to tell.

Well if you keep having them

then I'll take you to see that doctor myself.

Jess.

Jess come on.

Oh my God!

Oh my God Crew!

Crew can you hear me!

Oh my God no!

Oh my God Crew no no no no!

Get off me!

I need some help in here!

Get off me!

No, no!

Get off!

You look good Jess.

You don't.

Sorry, I'm just being honest.

Sisterly prerogative.

I thought Daniel may come today.

I haven't seen him in so long.

I wish he'd come visit.

Well you know how he is.

It only got worse after everything.

Can I talk to you about something?

I've been seeing Crew,

but like how he was that night,

in those scrubs and that mask.

So you're hallucinating?

I mean I guess so.

Well have you told anyone?

Yeah I told Sprague.

And what'd she say?

She upped my meds.

And you're flushing them?

Stop, I want you to come home.

No!

Help me!

I'm very pleased Brie.

You've made wonderful progress.

Enough in fact that we're comfortable

moving you to another section of the facility.

Where you'll get more freedom.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me Brie.

You did the work.

I do my best to help but I count on my patients

to meet me halfway.

I just did what you said.

Well you're doing great.

Are you still experiencing visuals of Crew?

I'm happy to hear that.

How about the nightmares?

Sometimes, but they're better.

I still think the root of your nightmares

is your unresolved relationship with Sara.

It's like your subconscious is reminding

you of unfinished business.

Soon as you reconcile with her,

I'm sure the nightmares will disappear completely.

I think you should go and see her

as soon as you get out of here.

Sara?

How are you?

I think you may run out of room soon.

Hey, they moved Brie today.

Apparently she's getting better.

We need to get you some new clothes huh?

Have you had any thoughts about what I said?

I really think that you should move in with me Sara.

It's not good for you to be here all on your own.

Look I'm literally five minutes down the street,

I can bring you back here anytime you want.
