Not Nothing

Josey talks to Olka, telling her that her act of bravery helped inspire Alex to do what he does next. He and Maya-Jade decide to sneak into the resident files to find the number of Ginny’s granddaughter Lydia and tell her what’s going on. This becomes the first time in Alex’s life where he realizes that what is legal and what is right may not always coincide. They also prepare evidence using research, and Alex learns the difference between a reputable source and an untrustworthy one. He starts to realize that Maya-Jade really is smart.

After the phone call, Lydia demands a meeting with both families and Julio insists that Maya-Jade and Alex both be there, too. Dickie’s son also attends. 

During the meeting, Alex thinks about how awful it is to lose a loved one, and how those feelings of loss can easily turn to anger or hatred. Alex points out that Dickie and Ginny were not lonely before, and that they deserve to be together since they love each other. Dickie’s son goes to see his father and finds him lying in bed, miserable and lonely, and demands that he be moved back to be near Ginny again.
