FADE TO:

EXT. THE BARN - DAY

Joanne pulls into the building and sits behind the wheel for a long moment her eyes unblinking so very alone...

INT. THE WICK HOME - THE HALLWAY - DAY

Joanne stands before the wall of pictures, statuesque as she studies them... unmoving...
And then, she snaps; her hands gnarled into first, roaring with rage as she punches the pictures, ripping them from the wall, tossing them aside, eventually collapsing into a heap, out of breath, her knuckles are bleeding.

"Oh my poor baby!" Maria cried out.

Tony, Howard and everyone else watched on with a sad expression on their faces.

A long beat... and she chuckles softly, pulling herself to her feet.

INT. THE WICK HOME - THE BASEMENT - DAY

Unlike the rest of the house, this space is pristine and organized: one half designated as an impressive wood shop, the other an office space with a lazy boy recliner and tube television.

Joanne sits at her desk with a pencil in hand, a pad of paper before him, thinking.

A long beat... and she sighs with a smile, placing the pencil upon the pad before sliding them both aside.

Joanne unscrews the cap off the bottle of scotch and pours herself a healthy dose.

She opens her desk drawer, reaches into the back, and finds an old pack of cigarettes, half-empty. She taps one from, places it between her lips, and lights it, taking a deep pull. She holds it, and exhales, her body relaxing.

She finishes her drink along with the cigarette, pours herself another and then opens a BOTTLE OF PILLS (The label reading NORMAN WICK and OXYCONTIN), pouring them into a small mound upon the desk. She stares at them for a long moment before selecting one, studying it, sighing and...

"Oh no...she better not do it. You hear me Joanne, don't do it!" Tony shouted at the screen even though Joanne can't hear him.

"Tony you're shouting at the screen, she can't even hear you." Stated Steve while rolling his eyes.

"What's wrong with you Steven, before you were only a scrawny little boy who even though never backed down was getting beat up all the time and was shy to talk to everyone especially to girls. What's changed? Is it the serum? Is that why you think you can give attitude to my godson? Or is it because the serum gave you muscles, grew you taller and gave your dick an enlargement that you have to be a bigger dick to someone you wouldn't have messed around with if it wasn't for the serum? Hmm! What is it?" Shouted Peggy who was sick of seeing and hearing Steve give Tony backhanded comments under his breath and rolling his eyes. Peggy did love Steve but that was back in the 40's when Steve wasn't a dick. But seeing this new version of Steve, Peggy was glad she married and had kids with someone else because she knows her and Steve wouldn't last a marriage or a relationship with the way he was going especially towards her godson.

Everyone else watched on in shock while Steve was in disbelief. He didn't think he was going to be called out especially by Peggy. He loved Peggy and he thought Peggy love him too but now he might be able to see how wrong he was.

Loki started to laugh which caused a domino of laughter to occur around the theater room. Only those really close to Steve didn't laugh well didn't laugh out loud. (E.g. Wanda, Sam, Bucky, etc...) even though they were on the opposite side to Tony during the whole Sokovia Accords, they did agree with Peggy that it wasn't fair for Steve to disrespect Tony and make trouble for him when Tony did try to help them.
