𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐘 morning, Scarlett, Sharon, and Richard went to Sunday service at Bobby's church to listen to his sermon as the latter had invited them.

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Bobby said then held up a Bible. "This...this is where most of us go when we think about forgiveness, true? But what about forgiveness in other forms? Forgiveness of others? And then...there's my personal favorite, forgiveness of thyself."

Scarlett smiled as she listened to Bobby's sermon. He certainly had a way of speaking that made you feel at ease. She took a deep breath, as she looked over at her mother, who gave her a smile, and reached over and took her daughter's hand.

"This is probably our toughest battle, but listen, if God can forgive, so can you." Bobby said.

"Bullshit!"

Scarlett and her parents turned to find Johnny walking into the church drunk. They turned to look at Bobby, while everybody else turned to see the blonde.

"What about that time in Reno, with those soccer moms at the Hyatt?" Johnny slurred. "Did God forgive any of us for that?"

Sharon and Richard could see how embarrassed Bobby was, and Scarlett looked at her parents, then at Bobby, who was now getting visibly upset. "Yes, even that. Forgiveness is the core of Christianity."

"I wouldn't know that, not much of a churchgoer." Johnny said, slightly stumbling

"I'm sorry. Apologies everyone." Bobby said. "My friend here is going through some tough times."

"Nothing I can't handle." Johnny said, as he leaned on a church pew for balance. He then turned to look at a blonde woman, giving her a flirtatious wink.

"Johnny, I'm in the middle of a sermon. So why don't you take a seat—" Bobby said as he was now visibly upset.

"Y'know, this guy was a real badass back in the day." Johnny slurred. "Fighting, partying, drinking. Sucks you're not allowed to get laid anymore man."

"How many times I gotta tell you, I'm not a priest." Bobby said

"Oh, so your wang can still get tang? Nice." Johnny slurred

"Forgive me father." Bobby said

"For what?" Johnny questioned

Bobby looked down and swept Johnny's leg, then stood up and fixed his coat. As everyone around him looked around, Richard helped him up as he sat down next to him.

After church, Scarlett drove towards Encino to pick up Sam so they could drive to the hospital to see Miguel. Upon arriving at the hospital, the blonde put her mustang in park and placed her sunglasses on top of her head. Walking into the hospital, the two girls walked into the hospital, and Scarlett who could sense her best friend's nervousness, took her by the hand and led her towards the elevator and took it up to the second floor to med-surge, where Miguel had been moved.
