Michael: I thought A.J. was going to convince Lucy to side with him.
Tracy: A.J. exaggerates. I'm sure he said that ELQ was in the bag, but, unfortunately, the bag had a big, fat hole in it.
Michael: [Sighs] [Clears throat] What did you give her?
Tracy: Beg your pardon?
Michael: You had to have done something to win her over. What did you do?
Tracy: [Sighs] [Clears throat] Michael, the important thing is that Lucy broke the tie and I remain in control of my father's company and your father gets nowhere near it.
Tracy: There you have it. I am sorry.
Michael: Yeah, you seem like it.
Starr: We should really get back to Trey.
Tracy: Trey Mitchell? Joe's son? What's wrong with him?
Michael: [Sighs] He was in a bad wreck on New Year's Eve.
Starr: Yeah, we all were.
Tracy: I'm sorry to hear that. Uh, and Trey -- is he all right? Did he break a bone or something?
Michael: No, it's a lot worse than that.
Tracy: How much worse? Is he gonna be all right?
Starr: No, he isn't.
Michael: Trey's gonna die as soon as his mother takes him off life support.
(On the other side of the hospital outside of Trey's room)
Steve: Have you heard anything on Connie?
Alexis: No, just an update, uh, from Olivia.
Olivia: Why? Why? What's -- what's going on? What's wrong?
Steve: Trey is an organ donor.
Olivia: And?
Steve: And there's been a big bus accident up in Rochester.
Olivia: Oh, God. No.
Steve: Someone whose blood type matches Trey's needs a liver and a kidney.
Kristina: Trey would want to help. I know he would.
Olivia: I'm -- I'm sure you're right, honey. Obviously, you're right if -- if he's got himself listed as an organ donor, but we -- we still need Connie's permission, right?
Steve: [Sighs] And, unfortunately, by then it might be too late.
Kristina: Mom, please, this is a way for Trey's death to mean something. Isn't there anything we can do?
Alexis: Maybe there is.
(Back to nurse station)
Tracy: Trey's gonna die?
Michael: Yeah.
Starr: Wait, I-I didn't know that you were close with Trey.
Tracy: I-I wasn't. I was with him -- when his father passed. It was, uh -- it was terrible. I tried to let him know that, despite everything, his father really loved him.
Starr: I think that Trey knew that.
Tracy: I hope so. I'm very sorry for your loss. And I am very sorry for going on about ELQ. I didn't know.
Michael: It's -- it's okay.
Starr: [Sighs]
Tracy: Well -- please accept my condolences.
Michael: [Sighs]
Starr: That was weird.
Michael: Yeah. Yeah, Tracy can surprise you. I mean, she's usually pretty awful, especially to her family, but then she can turn around and be somewhat decent.
Starr: Are you bummed about the A.J. Thing?
Michael: I don't know. If there's a silver lining, at least my mom won't feel obligated to rescue me from ELQ anymore.
Starr: Oh, I know, but weren't you excited to work with your dad?
Michael: That doesn't really matter to me, but it's different for A.J. I mean, running ELQ was a big deal for him, a chance for him to finally prove himself. Now what is he gonna do? [Sighs]
(Outside Treys room)
Alexis: A couple of hours ago, when I saw the way that things were going, I applied for a court order to have Trey's life support removed.
Kristina: But you said that could take forever.
Alexis: And it could.
Steve: Like I said, time is of the essence.
Alexis: I understand. But that young man does have a mother, and, technically, she should be the one to remove.
Kristina: No, not -- not when she's the reason that Trey's -- brain-dead in the first place.
Olivia: Honey, I am not defending anything that Connie's done, by any means, but she is still his mother. She carried him inside her. They share DNA. She's got to be part of this.
Kristina: [Voice breaking] So we -- we -- what? We ju -- we just pray that dad gets through to Connie?
Olivia: That's assuming that he even found her.
Alexis: We got it.
Starr: Does that have something to do with Trey?
Alexis: A court order allowing us to have [Sighs] The life support removed from Trey. The court is faxing it over right now.
Kristina: So that's it, then? Before long, Trey's gonna be gone.
Kristina began to walk away from her family before Alexis called out to her "Kristina" she turned to her mother before quickly saying "I need a moment alone" before heading towards the chapel. She was alone in the chapel, praying and tears dusting her eyes before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She quickly whipped her head towards the figure,seeing it to be Tracy.
"I heard about Trey, I'm sorry I know how much you loved him" Tracy comfortingly wiped the tears off her cheeks
"Thank you Tracy! I'm sorry too, I know he was important to you"
"Thanks!" Kristina surprised Tracy by wrapping her arms around the older woman as a form of mutual comfort over their mutual loss .the duo only separated when Kristina's phone vibrated.
"It's my mom, they are taking trey off life support."
"Ok you should go"
"You should come too, I know Trey would want you there to say goodbye to him"
Tracy didn't answer just nodding before following Kristina up to his room. Kristina left Tracy for a moment to talk with Olivia alone in trey's room.
[Monitor beeping]
Kristina: How do we know?
Olivia: How do we know what?
Kristina: If what we're doing is the right thing. That he's gonna be okay.
Olivia: We know.
Kristina: But how?
Olivia: Because he told me. Trey told me.
The tears began rolling down their eyes while they just held each other closely.
Alexis: I've checked it twice. The papers are all in order.
Connie: Tell me you haven't done it yet. [Sighs] Is he gone?
Kristina: No, but -- but we need to do this now so his organs -- they can save someone else's life.
Olivia: It's what he would want, Connie.
Connie: How do you know that, Liv? Did you ever talk to him, other than the Christmas party? Because I never saw you talk to him.
Kristina: I talked to him, Connie. I know he'd want this.
Connie: Well, I don't know that!
Kristina: [Voice breaking] When they turn off those machines, when Trey stops breathing, a piece of me is gonna die, too, okay? But this is the right thing. It's the only thing. And despite how I feel about you, you're his mother, and -- and you should be a part of this.
Connie: [Sighs] You knew and loved him more than I ever did, Kristina. So if this is what you say we have to do --
Kristina: We'll do it together.
Connie: I'm ready.
The group gathered into the room while the nurse started to remove the life support machinery. With Kristina and Connie on each side of Trey
Kristina: So, what happens? When they shut off the machines, how long will he stay alive?
Steve: It's different for everyone. I mean, it could be a few minutes. It could be several hours. And based on the severity of Trey's injuries, I-I don't expect it to be too long. It's good that you're here. I'll let you know when you can come in.
[Monitor beeping]
Kristina: Trey, it's me. You're not alone, okay? [Crying] I love you so much.
Connie: I'm here, too, Trey. Took me long enough, huh? But I made it. [Crying] I love you, Trey. You can go now. Your mother's here.
[Monitors beeping]
Starr: We're all here, Trey. Everyone that loves you is surrounding you.
Michael: Center of attention. Just the way you like it.
Starr: [Chuckles] We're not going to leave you. Not till you leave us. [Crying]
[Monitor beeping]
[Flatline]
Steve: He's passing now.
Kristina: [Crying] What are you seeing?
Olivia: He's at peace.
Kristina sobbing into her mother's arms while the others in the room seeked comfort in the others arms
Olivia: It's okay.
