It had been a week since Clarke's operation, every day there was more progress and that excited her, in a couple of days Lexa would remove the bandages, and finally arrive at the moment that she had waited so long. The doctor had insisted that Clarke stay at her apartment, so she could take care of her and make sure that everything went according to plan with Clarke's recovery after the operation, something the patient did not mind.

Indra was going to take Carl to school in the morning and afterward would bring him back to Lexa and Clarke. The happy couple had become his surrogate aunts, with whom he loved to be with, since he spent a lot of time with them and felt extremely protected and loved, in addition to learning many things.

Carl was becoming more and more accustomed to that warmth of family, of a true home, that with his mother he had not experienced, despite Ontari's efforts. Carl loved his mother more than anything in life, but his now "aunts" were already part of his family without a doubt.

Clarke was very content to take off the bandages herself but Lexa had threatened her, frightening her that it could be a very serious mistake, and if she hurt her corneas by removing the bandages too soon there was a possibility that she would lose her sight again. The artist did not want to put at risk this new possibility that life was giving her, to see again. But Clarke was restless after spending so many hours in the doctor's apartment, that although Lexa's apartment felt a bit like home, it was not the same, she missed her school and artistic activity a lot. Lexa had told her that she could not go to work for at least two weeks, and obviously, she could not do her shows in the pub for two or three weeks.

But on the fourth day, Lexa made the decision to take Clarke to her office at the school, because she noticed that the artist was getting too irritated and anxious, and she really needed to get out of the apartment for a while. The doctor was undoubtedly as excited and anxious as the artist. There was nothing in this world that Lexa wanted more than that beautiful and moving moment that was to come when she removed the bandages, and Clarke could begin to see, not completely clear, but it would be a huge step out of the darkness for her.

On the other hand, things in the TonDC club were becoming more tense and heavy. Since the organization was losing shipments being ambushed by the police. The anger in Roan grew day by day, and he was already having his mother almost daily on the phone demanding that the press more on his subordinates, to discover who the snitch was.

Ontari tried to protect Seline as much as she could from having to sexually cater to the clients, but as to not raise any suspicion of her true identity, she had to agree that the undercover agent should work like all the others. Although the agent already knew that before she decided to embark on the mission, she was ready for it, but at least Ontari tried to filter the clients that she knew well.

But Inspector Rivers had given Ontari a deadline to get something very vital to take down Azgeda Mafia. A confession from the queen herself, Nia Azgeda and if possible from her son too, so Luna demanded that Ontari find a way to attract Nia to the brothel, and she would record their confessions.

Ontari felt somewhat cornered, but she knew well that she could not think much longer what she should do. Although Ontari had been thinking about what would happen after this was all over.

It would end, and Ontari had decided it was time to face Echo, her beloved lost younger sister. And although she was terrified of the situation, almost to death, she needed to do it. Besides now, if something happened to her, maybe she could count on her sister to adopt her sweet Carl, and give him that life that she never could.

Lexa received the unexpected call from Ontari on Friday afternoon, telling her that she had decided to meet with Echo, and that Ontari wanted Lexa to accompany her, at least to make the introductions, and give her some support as she was very nervous. The doctor was very happy with the decision that Ontari had finally taken, and therefore did not have problems in making the arrangements for the meeting, and in making the introductions. Lexa knew that the connection between sisters is always very strong, no matter how much time passes, she knew it very well, and she was sure that when Ontari met her sister again, Echo would know who she was, but Lexa understood that Ontari needed a little support.
