Fate's final decision!

Three day until wedding

Little by little, her heart started to lose faith, voice, and the shred of hope that it had left. It's not like she did not bring this upon herself. She expected it. She expected Becky to react the way that she did. She hasn't heard from her since the day she told her the truth. She did try to seek her out but Charlotte and the others decided against it. Becky needed time to gather her strength and a little bit of time to decide. But, there were very little time left. Becky was getting married soon.

This is making her lose hope. The thought of Becky in a wedding dress or tux, is so damn depressing, knowing she won't be walking down the aisle to her. She'll be walking down the aisle to another woman, to Sabrina. And Sabrina is the only one Becky has been keeping contact with. So, everyone has tried to communicate with Becky through Sabrina. She refused to see Charlotte, didn't want to hear from Rachel, and much less wanted to have anything to do with Billy.

They all tried to plead with her so that she would understand why they had to lie to her. They needed to keep her in the dark, despite the fact they knew that it would not shield her from any sorts of pain. Becky had been the collateral damage of the plan the small group put together. She confronted Mrs. Armstrong about everything but did not tell her about Charlotte, and Freen. She only confronted about her not being her true daughter. And this wasn't an easy thing to do. Everyone thinks that in that moment, Becky stopped caring altogether for Mrs. Armstrong. She moved out on the same day of the confrontation.

Two days until wedding

As the time nears, Charlotte and Billy had gone to take the entire matter to the Federal Police. They were running great risks if they had gone to the Dallas Police Department. They had no idea how many more cops were working for Mrs. Armstrong. Also, apparently, Mrs. Armstrong had a safe which she keeps in a bank and a locker that she keeps in an Airport. In them, there were way more documents that incriminates Mrs. Armstrong with several more transgressions. Sabrina only knew that they were important documents, she didn't know their contents. Nick is the only one who had access to both safe but Sabrina knows the combination and codes because Mrs. Armstrong uses the same numbers for all of them.

Under the protection of Mrs. Armstrong, Sam's files were mostly kept within Pablo's parents' firm. All her cases and investigations which did play in favor of Mrs. Armstrong, were seized as well, under law orders though the litigators did say that they were highly classified. But, nothing can be refused to the Federal Bureau of Investigation when they possessed warrants from the government. Apparently, they had been following Mrs. Armstrong's actions for years and always reached dead-ends. They couldn't find any proofs to incriminate her. They couldn't do anything against her without a warrant from a judge in the Supreme Court, who later turned out to be a great friend of Mrs. Armstrong. That goes to say that, results are easily gain when the law is bend – just a little bit.

Charlotte also brought Puccio with her to the FBI. In there, they ran tests on him to prove if whether he suffered from the mental disorders he was diagnosed with. They placed him under medical care and granted him his innocence back and retires the several charges that were pinned on him. Sabrina spent more time reconnecting with her father and never once approached Mrs. Armstrong and confronted her about being her daughter. She refused to have anything to do with her. Especially after Heng revealed that Mrs. Armstrong had given orders to have Puccio killed on the day Sabrina had gone to visit him.

One day until wedding

And now, Mrs. Armstrong is abandoned and left out cold and alone as she is taken to prison along with Mrs. Patchanon who is charged with being an accomplice and murder among others. Sam was also detained and had her Law enforcement badge revoked and was permanently suspended from the force. The director of psychiatric ward was detained as he was about to board a plane to Canada. The Hank Armstrong case was reopened and was under investigation with Nick and Mrs. Armstrong as the main suspects in his death. Things were going back to normal, little by little.
