Ella and Chuck had a plan. Chuck had gotten Lily's passport.
"Relax. You're a spitting image."
"Remind me to kill you later for that." Ella said.
"The teller we need to talk to is Julie. She's new. I'd remember her." Chuck said.
"And who do we say you are? My son?"
"Is it weird hearing you say that actually turns me on?" Chuck asked.
"This better be worth the therapy. Let's get this over with." Ella put on the sunglasses and they went inside.

"All I have in my pile are divorce papers, jewellery and artful nudes of my mother in her groupie days." Ella told.
"Swap piles?" Chuck asked.
"I knew there would be nothing. What did you expect to find in here, anyway?"
"A gun. The smoking kind." Chuck said and gave her a paper.
"Oh, my god. You found a copy of the affidavit. Any handwriting expert would be able to prove that this is not mine."
"Not that we'll ever need to call one. The threat alone is enough."
Looks like Ella may have found Ben's get out of jail free card.
"We have her." Ella said.
"You want to make the call or should I?"
"No. Later, in person."
"I like the way you think, Mom." Chuck said and Ella smiled.

Later that night Ella went to the prison.
"Hi. I'm here to see Ben Donovan. I know it's late, but I really need to talk to him."
"I'm sorry. You just missed him. Mr Donovan was released." The officer said.
"What? How?"
"His parole was moved up by a Judge Stephens."
"When did this happen?" Ella asked.
"Says here the paperwork was filed a couple days ago, just went through this evening."

"You're still here."
"Just waiting for the bus. What are you even doing here?" Ben asked.
"Are you free for coffee?" Ella asked.
"I'm free for anything." Ben replied and she smiled and they started walking.
