After spending the Tuesday morning at 51 opening birthday presents from two weeks ago, Elizabeth and Erin are heading to a local diner. It happened to be the one Peter Mills' family owned.

Elizabeth received a photo book from Cindy and Hermann. It was filled with pictures of Elizabeth with everyone.

There were pictures of her with Hermann's kids, Eva and Diego, Connie, and many with Chief Boden. The young teen saw him as a grandfather, but she knew she could never tell Kelly that.

From Shay and Matt, Elizabeth received an appointment ticket for her letterman. From Gabby, Elizabeth was given a ticket to go and see Eva and Diego.

It had been only two weeks since they officially moved away with their mom, and even though it was just a train ride away, Elizabeth was starting to get lonely again.

Spending time with Erin between the firehouse and the district has given Elizabeth time to build a better connection with her.

It's the best thing for the both of them. The only time Elizabeth is with Trudy is if a case runs long one day.

Looking out the window, Elizabeth sees a group of guys from the Latin gang. Pulling out her phone, Elizabeth takes a picture of León with them. "I can't believe him! He told me he wasn't a part of it!"

Looking to where Elizabeth was, Erin sees the group on the corner, "you know one of those guys?" Sighing, Elizabeth quickly sends the picture to Cruz before she changed her mind. "León. He's Cruz's brother. He told me he wasn't into any of this stuff. But now, who knows"

Texting Cruz once again to say where the picture was taken, Elizabeth also sends the picture to Matt and Shay in their group chat

2 Godparents and the child🍜



Shay: Wanna be Doc
Casey: Wanna be Chief
Elizabeth: Noodle


Noodle: Did you guys see the pic I sent? I can't believe he's in the gang. AFTER HE TOLD ME HE WASN'T

Wanna be Chief: are we the new Eva and Diego?

Wanna be Doc: let's calm down Matt, and does Cruz know?

Noodle: I sent him the picture first. I'm at Mills family diner with Erin. I looked out the window and boom, look at what I saw

Wanna be Doc: and boom

Wanna be Chief: Look at what I saw

Noodle: I should have just texted Eva🙄

Putting her phone down, Elizabeth and Erin leave the restaurant. Making her way to the car, Elizabeth looks over one more time to see León.

She finds León looking at her. Shaking her head, Elizabeth hops in the car.

It was hard for her to watch him destroy himself in the streets. For the last few weeks, Elizabeth has been trying to keep León away from the gang.
