JACKIE Mrs. Franklin-Dupont will be right with you... ANGELA Thank you. JACKIE I knew your mom. She was not what they say... not when I knew her.
Angela gives Jackie a warm, thankful smile. Jackie goes, leaving Angela alone in the vast room. Now alone, the emotions rush in... This is the life she could have had. The life Eve wanted for her.

LEAH I hear you wanted to pick the wig up yourself. Leah holds a box containing the Eve’s Crown wig she wore in the show. Now that the moment is here, the first moment alone with her sister, Angela’s heart falls to her stomach. There she is. Flesh and blood. The would be the same, but for the path their father chose. ANGELA Those wigs are still prototypes. I paid a lot of money for them and I don’t have money to just throw away. Leah leaves the box on the table. Angela circles the room, picking up family photos. ANGELA (CONT'D) Beautiful family. LEAH Is that all? ANGELA
I think I owe you an apology. I came here hoping you were going to be my answer. I mean, I didn’t even know you. But now I do. I know exactly who you are. I get the rules around here. But to be honest, from my view, you’re a slave to them. LEAH I’m not a slave to anything. I work hard to keep this community running because it matters. You turn on the news and all they show are gangbangers or welfare queens or single moms with baby daddies.
