Chapter 24 Summary

Daniel demands they tell him what they revealed to Lexie, and Justin says she was beginning to remember anyway. After they reveal that they told her everything except who stabbed her, Daniel says the best choice is finish the conversation later when everyone has calmed down from the events of the day. Rafe is drunk and pushes to continue the meeting and antagonizes Daniel about how secretive and demanding he is. Abby tries to intercede between Rafe and Daniel, and Justin begs for it all to be over. The argument escalates and Rafe exclaims that the only reason Abby follows Daniel’s orders is because she is in love with him. Abby explodes and throws her doll at Rafe, and in her anger, she reveals Rafe and Justin are romantically involved, but Rafe uses Justin and breaks his heart repeatedly. Everyone begins to shout at one another, and Cassie screams out that she must know who stabbed her. She decides it is time to use what Frank had dubbed her “last-resort” and reveal the pregnancy. Daniel claims it is not true, but Rafe’s reaction reveals the baby was his. Cassie cannot tell whether Rafe is directing his rage toward Justin or Daniel or both, but he blames one of them for the death of the baby.
