I’m not sure to be worried or pissed that Jake and that boat of his are nowhere to be found. I hope they’re very happy together.

[mama-anderson]

I'm sorry but did I hear you correctly?

Someone left the island?

[mama-anderson]

And I thought they were hotshot detectives...

[goodcoplogan]

I heard she’s best friends with your son. Why would she try to pin the blame on you, his mother?

Even if it means marrying someone you don’t approve of?

[mama-anderson]

Oh, I don't know. People do things when they're desperate. You of all people should know that.

Even if I don't approve of her, it's my son's happiness at stake here. That being said, Emily is a... Wonderful person.

[mama-anderson]

And I thought they were hotshot detectives...

[goodcoplogan]

Is there any reason why Miss York would lie about something like that? She has nothing to gain.

And do you dislike it? Having things not go the way you planned them? 

[mama-anderson]

I don't know. I guess some locals here are just so disgruntled that they blame us for everything.

As a mother, of course I had my reservations about this place but in the end, I just want my Derek to be happy.

[mama-anderson]

And I thought they were hotshot detectives...

[goodcoplogan]

It is a small town, and people usually see things. Miss York said that she saw you and John Wakefield kissing. 

Is that why you planned on holding the wedding here? Despite knowing that people, possibly friends of your family, died here?

[mama-anderson]

Me and John Wakefield kissing? That's ridiculous, Detective. In fact, that's extremely disrespectful and uncalled for. 

If I had it my way, Detective, the wedding wouldn't have been held here but it was really Derek and Emily's idea. All their friends are here after all and it is the place that they met. 

[mama-anderson]

And I thought they were hotshot detectives...

[goodcoplogan]

Did you know him personally? Speak to him before? Even if only for a quick moment? 

I didn’t take it that you liked it on the island at all, Mrs. Anderson, regardless of town history.

[mama-anderson]

Detective Walker, it's a small town. Everyone knew each other.

Of course Harper's Island is no New York. It was quaint and very different from the city but I must say that I grew to love it. It was a pity we had to pack up and leave.

[mama-anderson]

And I thought they were hotshot detectives...

[goodcoplogan]

Actually, something has been discovered, Mrs. Anderson.

What is your relationship with John Wakefield?

[mama-anderson]

Detective Walker?

John Wakefield? As far as I'm concerned, that murderer was a wolf among sheep. Harper's Island used to be a lovely town and if it wasn't for that scoundrel, my family would still be living here.

[notaboutforgiveness]

[mama-anderson]

And I thought they were hotshot detectives...

Apparently, nothing has been discovered. 

[a--york]

Whether you want to admit it or not, you cheated with Wakefield, Miranda. That fact isn’t gonna vanish any time soon. And even if Derek doesn’t believe me, you know what really happened. Question is, how long can you deal with the guilt before you eventually snap?

Go to hell. He thinks I’m delusional because you have no respect for your family whatsoever.

[mama-anderson]

I think you're the one who's snapped.

I love my husband and that's all that matters. I've been with Scott more than twenty five years and I'm not going to let some girl with a wild imagination ruin my family. 

Goodbye, Ashley, and good riddance. 

[a--york]

In case you weren’t aware, this is my home, and you’re crossing territories you don’t wanna cross. Let me tell you something, Miranda. This isn’t a warning or a threat; it’s a promise. You will get caught in your web of lies.

Nobody might not believe me now, but who’ll take your side? Emily? The locals? Face it. You’re a cold-hearted bitch and obviously not very well liked. Once I get the proof I need, you’re done here. For good.

[mama-anderson]

I’m not scared of you or your promises, Ashley.

I just shudder to think how Derek will feel when he finds out what a lowlife his best friend is. In our family, blood is thicker than water and Derek will obviously believe me over you any day. 

I mean, he already thinks you’re delusional!

[a--york]

A mistake? I’m not the one who made a mistake here, Miranda, and you damn well know it.

Please. I don’t want your forgiveness. In fact, go fuck yourself. I think it’s disgusting that you can’t even admit to your own son that you screwed things up, and for once, tell him the truth. You had an affair with Wakefield, Miranda. I saw it, and when I pass on this information to the police, the light will fall directly on you.

Don’t test me. I’m not your little bitch. I am not afraid to take you down.

[mama-anderson]

Then by all means, be my guest. Try to take me down and see what a fool you make of yourself. 

You have absolutely no proof of this so-called affair that you're accusing me of. 

Nobody is going to believe you so I suggest you go home and don't ever bother me or my son again. 

[notaboutforgiveness]

[a--york]

… Miranda.

No, actually, I’m afraid I don’t know why you’re calling. Thought you’ve always been a face-to-face type of woman, but you know what they say… People can always surprise you. Although, it’s really not that surprising. Considering how desperately you don’t want the truth to get out, a phone call is much more private.

[mama-anderson]

You better watch your mouth, young lady.

I could sue you for slander.

I did nothing wrong and you know what you did. You defamed me in front of my son and I am not going to forgive you for that unless you apologize and admit, in front of Derek, that you made a mistake. 

[a--york]

[Hearing the phone ring all of a sudden, she answered it after a few rings.]

Hello, Ashley speaking.

[mama-anderson]

Ashley...

It's Miranda. I suppose I could put up an act right now and pretend everything is fine and dandy but I think we can look past this bullshit, right?

You know damn well why I'm calling.
