Sam is talking to Jason when Drew shows up at her place; he says he is there to see Scout… she invites him in.  As he holds their baby girl, he tells Sam that time is precious and goes by too fast; he reveals to her that Oscar has an inoperable brain tumor.  She says Oscar must be so scared; Drew tells her, “that’s the thing…” – Sam doesn’t understand why Kim wouldn’t want him to know; Drew tells her Kim doesn’t want Oscar worrying about dying, she just wants him to live, like a regular teenager.  Sam asks, “what about you?”  Jos shows Oscar the bench she had all set up for them; she says, “it looked a lot less pathetic last night.”  He tells her that it looks wonderful to him.  Jos tells him that she has realized they still have a lot to learn about each other; Oscar agrees and says he looks forward to it.  He asks Jos what she has always wanted to do, but never has; she says to make out with her boyfriend in the woods.  They run off together for a while, then Oscar gets a call from his mom; they agree to make a sort of “bucket list” together since they still have so much life to live.

Kristina walks into Charlie’s looking for a job; Julian is surprised she still wants it when she finds out he is the owner.  He tries to say, she shouldn’t work for him because her dad will get mad about it; she says that should be an incentive.  Valerie comes in to deliver Julian’s building permit, which has been approved; she is tickled to see Kristina.  As she leaves, Mike gets up and runs out of the bar; he ducks behind the corner of the building as she goes by.  He wonders off by himself, down into a basement; he shines a light on the wall and pulls out a wrench.Sonny gets a call, telling him that Julian’s permit has been approved; he’s pissed.  Jason tells him he has a plan to make sure Julian doesn’t find the body during his reconstruction; he says they will make sure he can only afford the crew they want on the job.  In the end, he agrees to hire Kristina; he tells her she can start now.

Back at Crimson, Nina is delivered a package; it has all of her mother’s belongings… jewelry box, etc.  Nina cries a little bit as she unpacks it; she reads a note that says “this will mend a broken heart” and gasps… Maxie asks what it is.  It’s a necklace from her childhood, with significant memories; a half heart.  She wonders where the other half is.  Suddenly, it dawns on Nina that her mother might be telling her that her child is alive; Nina begins crying.  The informant tells Curtis about the birth of Nina’s baby girl while she was in a coma; he confirms Madeline Reeves’ picture as the “client.”  He says she kept the pregnancy “under wraps” and had him find a home for it after it was born; Curtis asks whom he ended up giving the baby to.  He says he doesn’t know; he got rid of all the records long ago.  He says he wishes he could do more to help; Jordan has the officers take him back to his cell.
