Since they both had their memories wiped it was like a new start. When they had you, us agents made up a case to get you, in which we succeeded. You were sent to live with your father and I to be trained. I'm sorry we were so harsh but that was our job." -Charlotte

"Well she wasn't mad and I didn't drown in her tears. That's the good news. The bad news is that Verna called Kelsey. Apparently Mark had a relapse. Kelsey sang him a lullaby and I guess that calmed him down." -Sandra
