Jim talking to Beth, Melinda's mom]
Jim: Do we know the rest? I mean, do we Beth? We'll just gonna wait around for you to tells us the next big missing piece on Melinda's life?
Melinda: Jim don't.
Jim: You know what? I'm sick of this. I'm sick of people like you and like her father who should have been protecting her. Who should still be watching out for her instead of lying to her. I mean, playing mind games when she is in danger.
Melinda: Jim this isn't helping.
Jim: Beth all she ever wanted from you is for you to accept her as she is and, maybe from her father, maybe and explanation. You know, how do you walk out of a family? And for all that, I mean look at her. She still wants to understand, she still wants to forgive. But every time she opens her heart to you, you stick a knife in it. You Beth, you ran away from everything you could do in your life, my wife runs towards it. For that she deserves...just the littlest bit of respect and a little of truth. Sorry.
Melinda: Mom...
Beth: No, he is right. You are right. There is another missing piece.
Melinda: What?
Beth: When Paul was arrested I was pregnant.
Melinda: Mom what are you saying?
Beth: I was pregnant with you.
Melinda: Paul Eastman is my FATHER?!? You're lying!
Beth: No, we didn't tell you we didn't tell anyone. Tom wanted you and he, wasn't afraid that you might have this thing this so called gift.
Melinda: You're lying! You're lying!
