Erin: You guessed it and you're right.

Elijah: So you are trying to free them??

Erin: Yes Elijah haven't you've done enough? Alec is even scared of you now.

Elijah: That's cause he is a wimp.

Erin: Elijah come on. We have to end this.

Elijah: But I don't want to end it. For once in my life I feel like I have power. I'm tired of being the underdog.

Erin: And you won't be if you just come clean about everything.

Tati: Come on Elijah.

Dyris: Be a good person and let everything go.

Elijah: But I have to do what my dad would have wanted me to do and that's........GCO

Myles: To be more than a crazy Johnson. Right?

Elijah: Right. I have to change my family name.

Tati: So you would rather have your name in the streets than on a campaign sign.

Erin: Or a law firm

Dyris: or anything of that nature.

Myles: Be more than your father

Erin: and your brother, Jeremiah

Elijah: How dare you speak of his name!! He betrayed me and X2C.

Erin: and you're doing the exact same thing. X2c used to be about making the streets safer for the next generation. Then your dad got it all messed up with the drugs and whatnot. Then that's when everything went haywire.

Elijah: Erin you were all for it at first. What happened??

Erin: Life happened. After you and Rayan got my brother out of jail. I realize that I didn't want to live that way anymore. I don't wanna be a thug. Pushing people around is not what I want to do. I wanna be bigger than that. I do t want to end up like my mom. A strung out woman who doesn't know if she is dead or alive half of the time.

Elijah: You can never end up that way which is why we have to continue this.

I look at Tati, Dyris and Myles in a sorrowful way.

Erin: I'm sorry you guys.

Elijah: I knew you'd come back around Erin. So let's tie them back up and then pay Miss Amy another visit eh.

We tie them back up and then head to Amy's house. Elijah is driving.

Elijah: What the hell has gotten in to you Erin??

Erin: I was testing my love for you babe.

Elijah: By almost starting a war back there. I thought I was gonna have to tie you up too.

Erin: Well that's what happens when you mix love and war.
