After she tells Goldie and Cher what’s happened, Mercedes turns to alcohol to cope with the heart-breaking news.

Wanting to leave the hospital immediately, Diane tells Tony not to let anyone touch Eva, forcing Tony into admitting to Scott that Diane's not doing well, and he's not leaving the hospital until she gets help.
Diane worries when Tony leaves Eva alone with Scott and Tony questions her on whether she’s struggling with her mental health.
Having been reckless throughout the day, a drunken Mercedes accuses Sylver of not being bothered and shouts at Tony, accuses him of flaunting his new-born baby.
