After Leon rang the hospice he cleaned up the kitchen while Violetta was crying and shouting at him, Leon wasn't listening.

Violetta: You promised me you wouldn't put me in a hospice, Leon!!! You broke your promise.

Leon was still cleaning up and Violetta gripped him to look at her as he turned towards her looking down as he couldn't look at her.

Violetta: Are you just going to stand there in silence?

Leon: *Looks at her* What do you want me to say, Violetta? You said you weren't going to drink anymore and after I threw all alcohol away, I woke up this morning and I see Grace and Leo petrified of their mom as she is sitting on their floor in a drunken state.

Violetta: I didn't hurt them, Leon, I would never...

Leon: What? Never hurt them? Violetta Leo's arm is red from where you were holding him or pulling him or whatever you did, I am putting you in a hospice for help because I don't want to see my kids in their room or the house with someone who is supposed to be their mom but they don't know what she's going to be like when she wakes up.

Violetta: *Hits his arm* I hate you, Leon I will never hurt them and I am aware of my drinking I just need to make myself stop.

Leon: You hate me? You know you can punch me, hit me all you want but as long as it isn't the kids I don't care if you hurt me, Violetta, because I would rather be the one you hurt than those children, so do your worst but it won't stop me from getting you help.

He walked away and went up to get dressed, Violetta was in the kitchen crying thinking about what she has done, she felt like she was getting punished for being what she is, but inside she knew Leon did it because he loves her and want to get better.

Leon came back downstairs and was texting the boys to tell them that he will be at the garage soon.

Violetta: Leon, where are you going?

Leon: I'm meeting the boys at the Garage, don't worry you are not here on your own I've invited Francesca and Camila to come and see you.

Violetta: I want to be by myself.

Leon: Yeah, I wish I could trust you on your own but I don't.

Violetta: That's it, you just going to babysit me until I go to the hospice, every time you go out your going call a babysitter.

Leon: You did this to yourself not me, do you think I want to babysit my wife who is 24 years old?

Violetta: You are making it easy that's for sure.

Leon: Shut up, Violetta you know full well I am doing this for your good and I just want the one I love because this isn't her driving herself to drink and hurting Grace and Leo that isn't the woman I married but I feel like she is lost with all this depressing feeling, I keep asking myself how did we get here? How did I get this drunken depressed girl where Violetta would do anything and not give up on anything Mm?

Violetta: ...

Leon: Saved by the bell.

Francesca: Hey.

Camila: *Watches Violetta pass out* Violetta!!!

Leon: Great, when in doubt pass out Violetta!!!

Francesca: Leon your wife is on the floor and you're just standing there.

Leon: Your right, I must be the worst husband ever but you know at least I'm the stable parent.

Francesca: Has she been drinking again?

Leon: I would love to say no but yeah and she even showed Grace and Leo that state of her.

Camila: What? Grace and Leo have seen her like this when? Where were you?

Leon: Oh me? I was asleep since it was this morning and there I saw Grace and Leo scared to death and her on the floor in that state.

Francesca: Violetta, how could you be so stupid?

Camila: Did she hurt them?

Leon: She just hurt Leo's arm that's all as she was pulling him or doing something.

Francesca: Leon, lift her onto the sofa, she needs rest.

Leon: *Carry's her onto the sofa* I'm done, I can't cope anymore she's going to the hospice tomorrow.

Camila: But my wedding is in two days, she has to come.

Francesca: Do you think Violetta can do a wedding with alcohol around her, her best place is in the hospice it's the only way she's going to get back to herself.

Leon: I'm going to meet the boys, be careful with her and look after her.

Francesca: We will, Leon.

He left to see the boys, when he walked in he saw them singing a song.

Federico: Leon!!! Join us.

Leon: Sorry, guys I'm not up for singing right now.

Maxi: What's wrong?

Leon: I've called a hospice for Violetta to go because I can't do it anymore.

Federico: What? But you promised her you wouldn't put her in a hospice.

Leon: It's worse now, Grace and Leo have seen her in that state, I need to do what's best even if that not letting Grace and Leo see their mom being like that.

Federico: Oh my god, what do you mean they saw her in that state?

Leon: Don't worry I can't talk about it as it upsets me so much to see the one I love being like this.

Broduey: But what about my wedding?

Maxi: Broduey!!! The least they need to worry about is you marrying Camila.

Broduey: They can come but not let Violetta drink.

Leon: Trust me not even that works.

While the boys were rehearsing Leon sat in the chair just thinking about what to do about Violetta, then the hospice got in touch and said they have a room ready for her tomorrow morning.

Leon didn't want to do it but what choice did he have? He needed to get his wife back now before the kids grew up and remember what their mother was like.
