Andrew says he'll bring it over tomorrow, when he can get it from the safe deposit box at the bank. Maggie asks Ian if he can be at the house tomorrow, and he says yes. They hug, she says he has enough to worry about since he just lost his own mother She apologizes. Max comes in and asks what she's apologizing for, she is the one who deserves sympathy right now. Ian says Max is right. Everyone leaves. Max asks if he can get her anything. She says "I'm an orphan, Max, I used to think that was such a strange word." He says it will take a while to sort out. She agrees. She says she's afraid she won't be able to find all the pieces of her life again. He asks her if that's important. She says yes. She tells Max about her family, and how her father always pushed everyone to be perfect. She says her whole life she's been trying to push herself to be perfect. She tells him that her brother committed suicide, but was sure to leave their father a note to tell him he didn't screw that up. She says she knows her mother died from drinking, but what made her drink?
