Oh, it's so good to see you. Come in. How's carly? She's staying strong. She's missing her mom. Yeah, I'm sure she is. You know, I didn't know bobbie that well, but I did always admire her. You should give carly a call. Yeah, of course I will. And not just about that — about some other news that came out that I don't really want to get into right now. Okay. Uh, I'm sure carly will catch me up to speed. A-and I know that I'm early to pick up scout to go buy her new uniform. Sorry I-I didn't call first. Yeah, um, actually, I wish you had called. I could have saved you a trip. Why? Is she okay? Yeah, yeah. She's fine. Well, if this morning doesn't work, then it's gonna have to be this afternoon. I don't mean to rush everything, but she is starting at westwood academy a week from monday, so we got to — about that. Scout won't be going to westwood academy.
Scout has been tied up in knots about this. She — she has nightmares. She's a nervous wreck. Well, then I'll go talk to her. Scout isn't here. Oh. Rocco took her out for breakfast. I see. You see what? Well, if she's got her appetite back, I'm assuming that means that you told her it was okay that she's not going to westwood. No, you don't understand, drew. She was so anxious. So you j-just made this decision unilaterally? There's no phone call, no text to me, no discussion whatsoever, is that — no, actually, I had to make a choice! I could reassure our daughter right away or wait until I spoke to you, and I chose peace. I figured we would discuss it once you got here. After you told her it was okay that she wasn't going. Doesn't that seem a little backwards to you? You're right. Yes, I should have spoken with you right away. Well, thank you. I'm glad we agree on that much. Just like you should have come to me before you pitched the idea to scout in the first place.
So, this isn't about scout not going to westwood academy. This is about you getting back at me because I didn't consult with you about it first? I di– no, of course not. I'm just pointing out the fact that you put me on the spot when you announced that scout was going to westwood in front of our daughter. Yeah, well... "well" what?
[ Sighs ] Nothing. You're right. You're right. I, uh — I did — I did blindside you. Exactly. Look, all I'm saying is that we can — we can both do better. And, of course, if I could do it over again, I would come to you first. Then why didn't you? I mean, clearly, scout has been — has been feeling this way for a while. Well...I thought she would change her mind. Or at least I-I hoped that she would. But the closer it got, the more she seemed to dread it. And my immediate concern was for her — her well-being. And mine isn't? Drew, that is not what I'm saying. Really? 'Cause it sure sounded like that. Like what I want and what I say, that doesn't matter at all. You think that you get the final word when it comes to what's best for our daughter?
I'm not trying to impose anything on scout, and I'm not trying to get back at you. I'm just saying that we have to be on the same page when we make such a huge change in our daughter's life. I know. You're right. I, uh... I'm really sorry. I-I don't know why I picked a fight with you. Then why did you? Drew, we don't fight, especially over how to raise our daughter. Do you want to tell me what's actually going on? I guess I just — I guess I feel hurt that, um, scout didn't lead on to how she really felt about westwood academy. I thought that, you know, we formed a really good bond since I've been back. Come on. Of course you have. Well, then why did she tell you and that she didn't tell me? She doesn't feel like she can come to me? No. I think she saw how excited you were and didn't want to disappoint you. Scout loves you. She loves being close to you. She doesn't want that to change. And w– and what kept you from coming to me? I know how much you hated missing out on being scout's dad, not being able to be her father all those years that victor had you locked up in greece. And now I lost even more time because of nina. "
As Drew went into story of how everything went down, Sam couldn't help but feel her blood boils not only at Nina but also at Drew
"You're telling me, you put Carly and her kids feelings and needs above your own daughters. Yet you blame me and think I'm the one imposing my feelings on her." She huffed while a guilty look overtook Drew's face. He began to utter. "No, scout needs you her father to put her first and until you can do that, we won't be having this conversation." Sam held the door open telling Drew to leave with no fight. He felt a pit in his stomach knowing that Sam was right. He needed to change for his daughter
