Lucy Chen:
Tamara. We need to talk.
Tamara Collins:
Okay... that sounds serious.
Lucy Chen:
It is. It's about Seth.
Tamara Collins:
Oh my God, Lucy. Not this again.
Lucy Chen:
Yes. This again.
Tim Bradford:
Oh boy.
Wesley Evers:
I'm gonna regret being here, aren't I?
Angela Lopez:
Yes. Stay quiet and maybe you'll survive.
Tamara Collins:
Lucy, you don't like him. I get it. But you don't have to.
Lucy Chen:
It's not about liking him. It's about who he is.
Tamara Collins:
Oh, come on. He's not a criminal. He's a rookie. Your rookie.
Lucy Chen:
Yeah. A rookie who lies to his TO.
Tim Bradford:
Oof.
Angela Lopez:
Nope. Nope. NOPE. We are NOT doing this. Absolutely not.
Wesley Evers:
Uh... maybe there's a—
Angela Lopez:
Wesley. Don't.
Wesley Evers:
Shutting up.
Lucy Chen:
I've been here before, Tamara. I trusted someone who lied to me. And it nearly got me killed.
Tamara Collins:
That's not fair. Seth is not Caleb.
Lucy Chen:
You're right. But the pattern is the same. And I can't sit back and let it happen again. Especially not to you.
Tamara Collins:
You're overreacting.
Tim Bradford:
No, she's not.
Tamara Collins:
Oh, come on. You don't even know Seth.
Tim Bradford:
I don't have to. If Lucy says something's wrong, I trust her judgment.
Angela Lopez:
Exactly.
Wesley Evers:
Yeah, but—
Angela Lopez:
WESLEY.
Wesley Evers:
...Right. No buts.
Nyla Harper:
What did I miss?
Tim Bradford:
Lucy's trying to talk sense into Tamara. Wesley is trying to survive. Angela is prepared to end him.
Nyla Harper:
So, a normal Tuesday.
Lucy Chen:
Nyla, back me up here.
Nyla Harper:
Alright. Let's look at the facts. Seth lied to his TO. That means he's willing to lie to someone in charge of his career. If he's willing to do that, what else is he lying about?
Tamara Collins:
You guys are blowing this out of proportion.
Lucy Chen:
No, we're not.
Tim Bradford:
Tamara. You're important to Lucy. And if Lucy's this worried, it means something.
Lucy Chen:
I just don't want you to get hurt.
Tamara Collins:
...
Lucy Chen:
Tamara. Please.
Tamara Collins:
I'll think about it.
Angela Lopez:
That's a start.
Wesley Evers:
Am I safe to speak now?
Angela Lopez:
Depends. Do you have anything stupid to say?
Wesley Evers:
...Never mind.
