Cody.

It's okay.|It's okay.

- Bad dream.|- Yeah, me too.

You try to go|to sleep, okay?

Okay?

Buenas noches, mi angelito.

I think I'll take Cody shopping|today. It's so beautiful outside.

Okay. I'll just|finish this and go home.

Maria, are you|missing your rosary?

No. Why?

Because I found it|under Cody's pillow last night.

Oh, she asked me for it.

It makes her feel better.

-I have an extra one if you want it.|-No, thank you.

I'll bring it for you|just in case.

Cody, you ready to go|shopping with your Mim?

What?

- Is that Maria's church?|- Yes. Can we go?

Okay, let's go.

I'm going to say a little prayer,|like Maria does, okay?

Cody?

[Rattling Stops]

She's sad, Mim. So sad.

She's crying for us.

It's okay.|It's okay.

- Nice limo you got there.|- You won the lottery?

- Miss O'Connor?|- Yes.

Honey.

Hello, Mags.

Hi, Cody. Do you have a kiss|for Mommy, hmm? Come here.

I'm Eric Stark, Maggie,

Jenna's husband.

We just got back|from Barbados last week.

Part honeymoon,|part healing process for Jenna.

And no more bad habits--

- except for spending Eric's money.|- Mm-hmm.

He saved my life.

- Are you a doctor?|- He's Eric Stark, Maggie.

The New Dawn,|the foundation, the seminars.

Did you meet Jenna through|your work, Mr. Stark?

Eric, please. Yeah, we met|at one of my outreach centers.

- When was it, only last month?|- [Jenna Giggling]

- Isn't that amazing?|- Crazy.

So this is all happening|very quickly.

Oh, yeah.|I don't waste time anymore.

I wasted half my life on drugs.|That was enough.

No more.|No more presents.

Um.

There's still something|wrong with her, isn't there?

-I was hoped she would outgrow this.|-She's fine.

Just a little different.|And she certainly isn't deaf.

You know, I'm a little bit|in a state of shock here.

You must know, Eric,|that I haven't seen my sister...

since the first week|Cody was born.

Well, I'm here now,|and I'm healthy.

And everything's going to be fine,|isn't it, sweetie?

We'll get you well.

- Do you have a kiss for Mommy, hmm?|- No.

She has to get used to you.|That will take time.

Mm-hmm.

Like round-the-clock time, huh?

- Cody?|- Well, that's why we're here.

You're gonna come live|with Eric and me, Cody.

- We're gonna take you home.|- Darling?

Why don't you have Dahnia|come up from the limo?

- Maybe Cody would like to meet her.|- We have a wonderful nanny.

Cody, go in my room|and watch cartoons, okay, sweetie?

- [Dialing Phone]|- Hi. Could you send Dahnia up now?
