Lani kisses Rafe in his kitchen and pushes her away. He asks where this came from. She says they’re both free. They can be together.
“You, me and David.” Rafe admits he was self-involved and is sorry he didn’t see how this was affecting her. He thinks this is because of David’s loss. Lani has a meltdown. “David’s not your baby and he never will be. He’s Jordan’s.” Lani says she may never get out of the psych ward and Ben’s a murderer. Neither can care for David. Rafe clarifies that there’s no family here. “It’s fantasy.” To her, it’s real, she cries. Why can’t he see that? Her love for David is real and she knows he loves her. “I have so much love to give my little boy,” she says, before realizing David’s not her kid. Rafe hugs her as she sobs and apologizes. She says a loving goodbye to David and Rafe encourages her to try to get back together with Eli.
