When Joanna woke up, Jaxon decided to tell her about the good news.

Jaxon: With a serious expression. I'm quitting the gang...I no longer want to be involved.

Joanna: You are? I heard them calling you...

Jaxon: I didn't answer...I blocked them...

Joanna: I'm glad we decided to run away after all, babe...

Jaxon: Me too. We can start a new beginning...

Back at Roxanne's house, Roxanne was busy with her job on her laptop and Matthew was sitting on the sofa relaxing. He got up and walked towards Roxanne.

Matthew: Hey baby...I noticed we are spending less time with each other. I'm worried you're losing interest in me.

Roxanne: I'm not losing interest in you...it's just that my brother is sick.

Matthew: Really? You never told me you have a brother.

Roxanne: I'm sorry, baby. I don't talk much about him.

That night when Jaxon was sleeping with Joanna, he had an awful dream. He was seen walking on the grass wearing a basketball jersey with no one around him. Suddenly, a girl with similar long, wavy blonde hair and bright, blue eyes appeared before him. To his surprise, it was Scarlett. She smiled when she saw him.

Jaxon: Got shocked and said. Omg, Scarlett...is that you?

Scarlett: Of course it's me, baby...I was waiting for you to come after practice.

Jaxon: He immediately walked up to her and held her in his strong arms. I missed you deeply, babe. I'm sorry you had to wait forever.

Scarlett: After she hugged him she said, Look at you...All sweaty.

Scarlett: Everyone likes you in your team. They always win because of you.

Jaxon: It's you who's making me win...

Then, something dark happened. For no reason, Scarlett walked away from Jaxon and closer to the edge of a cliff till she was an inch away from jumping.

Scarlett: She turned around and said. Help me... However, she ended up falling down the cliff.

Jaxon: He cried out. SCARLETT!!!

He woke up with a fright and looked to the other side of the bed. Joanna was sleeping peacefully.

Jaxon: On the inside. I miss you...you hear me, Scarlett? I hope you miss me too...

The following day when Joanna was at home relaxing, Jaxon and Lorenzo were at a clothing store because Jaxon wanted to buy new winter clothes for Joanna since it's getting cold outside.

Lorenzo: Why did you make me come here with you, dude? Only girls shop here...

Jaxon: Joanna needs new clothes...Winter is approaching and I don't want her to get sick.

Jaxon: You can suggest some clothes for her too...I don't want you to be left alone without anything to do.

Lorenzo: With a bored expression. Typical Jaxon...always about business.

At their house, Roxanne was going to tell Matthew about visiting her fake brother in the hospital so she can have an excuse to see Julian.

Roxanne: Hey baby I'm going to be home around 7pm...I have to take care of my brother in the hospital.

Matthew: I understand, baby...Hope he gets well soon.

They briefly kissed each other until Roxanne headed out.

When Roxanne arrived at Julian's house, he was so busy drilling something in his garage that he didn't see her standing behind her.

Roxanne: Hello...look who's here...

Roxanne: You're so busy focusing on what you're doing that you don't see me standing here.

Julian: He stopped drilling and turned around. Didn't know you would be here early...You should have texted me about coming.

Roxanne: That doesn't make a difference, does it? You would still be here...

Julian: So what did you say to that old man to come see me?

Roxanne: He believed me when I told him I was visiting my "sick brother".

Julian: He stroked her face and said. You're gorgeous, you know that? I'd choose you over anybody.
