Aiden is late for school… he forgets his backpack, misses the
bus, and Franco offers to take him; he says maybe he should stay home since
he’s so late already. Peter approaches
Maxie in the Metro Court; he tells her she should be more discrete when on a stakeout. Valentin expresses his concern to Sasha
about her staying in town; she says she’ll be careful. Laura asks him who this is and he introduces
her as Nina’s daughter. Maxie admits
that it is hard for her to leave stay out of other people’s business. Laura comes over and interrupts their
conversation. Peter mentions Nina’s
invitation to the wedding; she tells him Nathan would be happy if Nina went
with anyone who wasn’t Valentin. Curtis
comes and asks Nina to stand in for Drew, who now has other obligations; he
tells her he wants her to be his “best person” and she says she would be
honored. He is concerned when she tells
him she gave Sasha a job there at Crimson.
Anna asks to steal Peter away for a minute; she tells him about Britt being “ill" now, which he finds funny because she didn’t look sick the other day. She smiles and says looks can be deceiving; she tells him the less he knows, the less he has to lie about. He says it seems she and Valentin are sharing the same goal these days… trying to make things right; she is surprised when he mentions the reunion of Nina and her daughter. Peter asks who Maxie is taking to the wedding; she doesn’t answer.
Finn is freaking out because he is scheduled to speak at school Career Day; other important people are there too. He knows they are just third graders, but he is a nervous wreck; Anna tells him that he will do great… either make them want to be doctors or send them running to law school. Ms. Tate begins class; Aiden isn’t there yet… Charlotte notices. Liz is concerned about Aiden’s hesitation to go; at work, she snaps at Scotty. Franco takes the blame for Aiden being late; Willow says it’s no problem. Finn asks if Franco knows where Ms. Tate’s room is and Franco sends him on a wild goose chase.
Scotty goes to see Franco; he asks what’s going on. Franco talks with him about Aiden, saying he has gone from outgoing and carefree to uptight and sullen. Scotty tells him to talk to the teacher. Laura notices Liz is upset; she gets her to open up about Aiden; she says she feels like she is failing as a mother. Laura assures her she is great mother; she says she just had a bad morning. She suggests calling Lucky; Liz says that might do more harm than good. Laura tells her she is there for her; they hug. Valentin comes to Crimson, to return an earring he found to Nina; he wants to talk, but she says she’s busy. Maxie and Peter come in; he tells Nina he accepts her invitation. Valentin is not happy to hear that they are going to the wedding together.Finn finally arrives, as Ms. Tate is introducing their first speaker, Stella; she gives an upbeat presentation about being a social worker. He can’t believe she wore a costume; Lulu gives her presentation about being a reporter… she says they provide people with information so they can make up their own minds. Michael is next; he tells the kids what ELQ does by demonstrating a chemistry experiment, and giving out pumpkin seeds. Aiden stays back, when all the other kids get up close and personal.
Up next is Chase; he gives an intriguing description about being a police officer and then brings in his K9 police officer companion, Thor. Ms. Tate shakes Thor’s hand and Chase says “and you should never, ever illegally park,” adding that the comment was not directed at them. When Finn gets up, Charlotte gives him a really hard time; the teacher says she will see her after school today. She asks Aiden if he has a question, and Charlotte turns around to say that “Aiden doesn’t have a voice at all.” Aiden sinks in his chair; Ms. Tate says nothing to Charlotte about this comment though. The bell rings, interrupting Finn’s presentation and the kids all run out; Ms. Tate suggests they do it again sometime. She tells Michael to bring her some seeds next time; he smiles and says he will do that… Chase lingers behind to get her contact information - for his brother – but makes it clear that he is the one who actually wants her number. He asks her out; she gives him a hard time, but accepts and says she looks forward to his call. Liz gets a call from Willow; she says they need to have a conversation about her son.
