Police : Enzo Lombardo? You have a visitor.

Avery
I'm waiting in the visiting room for them to bring Enzo. I don't know what to expect....

They brought him in and sat him down right across from me.

Enzo : Help me...
Avery : There's nothing I can do.
Enzo : You can convince Giovanni Romano to get me out of here.
Avery : What for? You don't deserve to be free.
Enzo : Avery, help me. I promise you I'll drop everything. I'll change for you!
Avery : Do you not see the damage you've done? Enzo, you hit me. You've had me by force. You never helped me in anything. You had me like a prisoner! Things were always done your way!! You weren't there for me when I most needed you...
Enzo : I treated you like a queen. I tried to make you happy-
Avery : Enzo stop! I know what you're trying to do. You're not going to manipulate me into getting you out of here.
Enzo : Then why are you here?

Avery
I took off both my engagement and wedding rings. I looked at them before handing them to him.

Avery : I was happy with you in the beginning. Thank you for the beautiful moments you gave me but it ends here.
Enzo : It's because of Nathan isn't it?
Avery : Nathan gives me the support you didn't.
Enzo : I should've killed him when I had the chance....
Avery : We'll be divorced soon.

Avery
Without saying anything more, I stood up and left.

Luciano : How are you feeling?
Nathan : As if a truck ran over me...
Luciano : I'm sorry man...
Nathan : If anything I should be thanking you for everything you did.
Luciano : He crossed the line. I had to stop him somehow.
Nathan : Luc, be honest. You're in love with Avery aren't you?
Luciano : What?
Nathan : I see the way you look at her.
Luciano : What about you? I immediately noticed something in Missouri.
Nathan : There's no point in hiding it anymore. Yes, Avery and I are something. We haven't established a label but it's something.
Luciano : And you're serious with her?
Nathan : Absolutely
Luciano : As long as she's happy.
Avery : -walks in- Hey!
Luciano : Hi
Avery : How are you feeling?
Nathan : Now that you're here? I feel much better.
Luciano : I'll leave you two alone.
Avery : Luciano, thank you so much for everything. You don't know how much I appreciate you.
Luciano : I'll always be here for you.
Avery : Will you be staying here?
Luciano : No I'm going back to Italy where I belong. I'll be coming often to check on Enzo.
Avery : Oh okay.
Luciano : Get better Nathan.
Nathan : Thanks! Take care of yourself man.
Luciano : You too! -walks out-

Avery : And just like that, the storm has passed.
Nathan : Can I ask you to be my girlfriend now?
Avery : -laugh- You're serious?
Nathan : I want you to be my girlfriend.
Avery : -kiss- I'd love to.
