Althea

"You really think, mom would hurt dad?" Vanya asks as we all watch the VHS tape Allison found.

"You haven't been home in a long time Vanya." Luther says turning around as the video ends. "Oh shut up Luther, y'all casted her out." I said looking at him and then turning to look at the rest.

"Maybe she doesn't know Grace anymore, Althea." I look at him shocked. "We've lived here long enough to know her. Did you know that Grace was built for Vanya? Because some reason none of the other nanny's got along with her. Yeah. Just because you've been here longer doesn't mean anything." I rant off to him crossing my arms.

Everyone looks at me and Diego walks closer to me and puts an arm over my shoulder. "If he was poisoned, it would have shown in the coroner's report." Diego says while slide glances at Luther.

"Well, I don't need a report to tell me what I can see with my own eyes." Luther responds looking back at the tv and Diego. "Maybe all that low gravity in space messed with your vision." I say smirking with my slick remark. Diego chuckles and pats my back as if agreeing with what I had said.

Luther looks dumbfounded at the remark "Look closer." Diego says pushing a button on the tv. We all watch as Grace walks in and sits on the bed. "Dad has his monocle, mom stands up." Diego walks away from the tv and takes his arm off my shoulder. "Monocle's gone." He finishes.

"Oh, yeah!" Klaus says while munching on some chips. "She wasn't poisoning him. She was taking it, to clean it." I say looking at everyone.

"Then where is it?" Luther asks turning around from the tv to look at the group of his siblings. "No, I've searched the house, including her things." He states clearly upset about his mini investigation. "She doesn't haven't." He whispers.

"That's because I took it from her." Diego says looking down messing with his knife, looking back up from Luther to me. "After the funeral." He says and Luther gets a little more upset about the whole thing.

"You've had the monocle this whole time? What the hell, Diego?" Alisson say clearly upset also. She's only mad because Luther's mad. "Give it to me!" Luther says.

"He threw it away." I tell them. Everyone looks at me. "He what?" Luther says with unbelief in Diego's actions. "Look, I knew that if you found it on Mom," Diego lifts up his knife and points it towards him in a matter of fact way. "you'd lose your shit, just like you're doing right now." Diego says looking at Luther.

"Diego, you son of a bitch." Luther says looking towards Diego as if they're going to fight. "Hey." Vanya and I say trying to stop whatever they might start. "No. Calm down." Vanya says to the two boys standing the middle of them. "Look, I know Dad wasn't exactly an open book. But I do remember one thing he said." Everyone looks at her to continue. "Mom was, well, designed to be a caretaker, but also as a protector." Vanya finishes.

"What does that mean?" Allison asks confused of Vanya's statement.

"She was programmed to intervene if someone's life was in jeopardy." Vanya answers. "Well, if her hardware is degrading, then-" Luther starts but stops quickly to think what he's going to say. "We need to turn her off." He finishes. Diego quickly rejects the idea.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait." Diego says pointing his knife towards Luther and putting it back down looking at everyone as he continues. "She's not just a vacuum cleaner you can throw in a closet." He says upset with what his siblings were trying to get at.

"She feels things, I've seen it!" I say agreeing with Diego. "She just stood there, Diego, and watched our father die." Luther says while him and Diego have a pointing finger off. "I'm with Luther." Allison says.
