The next morning Eli goes to the jail and they bring Erin out. He walks over to her and wraps his arms tightly around her. She latches onto him for dear life not wanting to let go. With his arms still around her, they make their way out to his jeep and just sit in it holding each other. They both lean back wanting to look into each others eyes. Eli leans forward and places his lips on hers. 

"I know it's only been one knight, but I missed you so much, Erin." 

"I missed you, Eli. I never want to be away from you again."

"Did everyone leave you alone, Erin?" He ask knowing nobody gave her any problems. 

"Yeah. I was terrified when I got her, but nobody bothered me. I'm just so happy to be going home with you. I need a hot shower." 

"Come on, let's get home. You can shower and have a decent meal."

"Eli, please tell me my lawyer, your lawyers are working to prove I'm innocent. And please tell me you know I would never murder someone."

"Erin, of course I know you would never murder anyone. Hell, Tammy is living proof of that. If you can keep yourself from killing that evil bitch, I know you're not capable of killing anyone else. Out lawyers, me, Chris, we're all working on proving you're innocent.  There is no way I'm about to let you take the fall for what I know damn well Tammy and Ross did. We just need some time to come up with sold and undeniable proof."

"Please, Eli. I hope you find it soon. I do not want to go back to jail. I want to give birth in a hospital. Our son or daughter cannot be born behind bars."

"I will never let that happen, Erin. Come on, let's get in the house and I will make some phone calls," he says as he opens the door. Once inside, Erin goes upstairs to shower.

"Chris, it's me."

"Eli. How is mom?"

"She looks exhausted and she's terrified they will send her back to jail. We have got to find proof Tammy and your father murdered Cora and not you mother. How the hell are we going to find the proof we need, Chris?"

"I, um, actually have an idea how we can prove mom is innocent."

"Thank god. What is you plan, Chris?"

"Eli, this is the only way I know how to get the proof we need to prove mom is innocent," he says barely able to look at Eli."

"Oh my god, Chris. Why do I get a sick feeling I'm not going to like your plan?"

"Because you're not going to like my plan, neither will my mother."

"Okay, just tell me, what is your plan, Chris?"

"I am going to seduce Tammy in hopes of gaining her trust, Eli."

"Shit, Chris, your mother is going to flip when she finds out her son is seducing her worst enemy. No way, we have to come up with another plan."

"Eli, there is no other plan. We have to act now. We need proof my mother is innocent before this goes to trial. If this does go to trial all it's going to take is one juror to believe my mother is guilty and they could recommend my mother be put to death. We cannot allow that to happen. This is the best plan we have to busting Tammy and my father."

"Oh god, Chris. You're mother is pregnant and I don't want to have to point out her being older puts her at a higher risk for a miscarriage. Damn it, if she finds out what your plan is she will never be able to stay calm."

"Eli, I need you to promise me you won't tell mom what I'm planning to do."

"Damn it Chris, you do remember part of the reason she divorced your father is because he lied to her, he kept secrets from her. Oh my god, Chris. I have no intentions of losing your mother. No, I am putting my foot down, I refuse to lie to your mother. I swore to her I would never cheat on her, and I will never lie or keep secrets from her. I love and respect her too much to do that to her." 

"Thank you, Elijah, I love you too," he snaps his heads back to see her standing by the sofa.

"Erin, you heard what I said?"

"Every word. That's my son on the phone? Give me that phone."

"Christopher, I'm only going to say this once, so you better listen up. It will be over my dead body before I let you seduce that vile, money hungry, family wrecking, mother murdering bitch. I swear Christopher, if you so much hold that bitches hand, I will be spending the rest of my life in prison after choking the life out of her and kicking your ass."

"Mom, you realize you just threatened an FBI agent."

"Christopher, do not test me. I mean it, you will not seduced the devils daughter."

"Alrighty then, let's all just take a deep breath and stay calm."

"Elijah, you better figure out a way to stop my son from seducing that that evil witch in order to save his mother, or I really will punish you," she stomps her way back up the steps.

"Chris, we just got a preview of your mothers rage, now imagine if you, her son, actually seduces Tammy into bed just to get the proof we need. Your mother will go ballistic if you go through with this. She's pregnant, Chris, we have to come up with another plan. We cannot risk your mothers or your brothers or sisters health."

"Okay, I know. Eli, how the hell are we going to get the proof we need?" 

"Hmm, well, just maybe we can bug her phone, plant a bug in her car. We have to be able to hear Tammy and your dad talk about how Cora died. Planting a bug in their car, and phone just might help us get the proof we need."

"I can get into my dad's house and hopefully get ahold of Tammy's phone, Eli."

"That sounds great, Chris, just don't start seducing Tammy." 

"I'll call you when it's done, Eli," he says before hanging up."

"Dear lord, please, keep Chris from seducing her." 

"Eli, did you talk Chris out of seducing that evil bitch?" 

"I hope so, Erin. I don't think he will." 

"He better not, Eli. What in the world was he thinking when he came up with that stupid plan?"

"He's wanting to protect his mother, Erin. So am I."

"There has to be another way to prove I'm innocent, Eli."

"I think Chris and I do have another plan. One that doesn't involve Chris seducing Tammy."

"Oh thank god."

At Ross' house*

"What do you want Chris? Your father isn't home."

"I know. I'm here to see you, Tammy.  Dad told me you remodeled the bedroom in the basement, how about you show me the new bed?"
