I have decided to come back from my break early.

April 14th, 2061.
The airport in Vancouver.
Melissa was standing up waiting for the passengers to enter the airport.
After a while, a man walked out. Melissa went to him and hugged him.
Melissa: I haven't seen you in over 50 years!

The man was Albert Peterman, Melissa's son, Lucille's brother and Lillian's uncle.

London.
Lillian was cooking a meal when she heard a knock on her door.
When she opened she saw a tall man standing in the doorway. He looked oddly familiar.
Albert: Hi, are you Lillian?
Lillian: Yes....
Albert: Great! It's me, Uncle Albert!
Lillian: Oh! How are you doing? Come in!
Albert: How's Lucille?
Lillian: I was cooking a-- WHAT??
Albert: How's Lucille, your mother?
Lillian: Oh, Melissa never told you?
Albert: Told me what?
Lillian: On October 1st, 2046, Lucille was arrested. On February 10th, 2053, after 6½ years in prison, she was hospitalized and she got a triple bypass. One week later, February 18th, she had a stroke and died.
She has been dead for 8 years now.
Albert starts crying profusely.
Albert: I could have been here to help her!
Lillian: I am so sorry that you didn't know.
She went to cook. She then thought, why didn't Melissa tell him?

Lillian: What?! How??
Caller: We found her in her office on the floor.
Lillian: I'll be there soon.
